Não me abandone
Não me desespere
Porque eu não posso
Ficar sem você

Não, não, não
Não me abandone
Não me desespere

Pro swing da cor
Relaxar o calor
E quem sabe
Me amarrar

O teu sorriso
É pequeno
No teu beijo
Tem veneno
E está querendo
Me apaixonar

Vem pro swing da cor
Relaxar o calor
E quem sabe
Me amarrar

O teu sorriso
É pequeno
No teu beijo
Tem veneno
E está querendo
Me apaixonar
