Y yo que estaba solo (ey)
Te vi bailando para mí
Tu silueta me llama y yo caigo de nuevo
En el juego de la tentación
Dulce sabor a coco (yeah)
Tienen tus labio’ carmesí
Vos sabes que yo me prendo fuego
Cuando tu veneno entra en mi corazón
Y quisiera no pensar más en vos
Estoy mejor cuando no estás acá
Y es que sabes cómo curarme el dolor
Pero también sabes cómo hacerme mal
Y quisiera que no estés donde voy
Siempre me escapo y te vuelvo a encontrar
Cada vez que me siento mejor
A tu infierno vos me haces bajar
Soy un adicto a tu cuerpo
Pero me niego a entregarte el alma
Me destrozaste por dentro
Hasta dejarme sin nada
Me rompiste todo el cuerpo
Pero no pudiste con mi alma
No voy a darte más tiempo
Fuiste una droga muy cara
Aceleré, vi el muro e igual aceleré
La verdad es que no me lo esperé
Maldito el día en que te encaré
Yo mismo me lo busqué
Y me declaro adicto a tu piel, tus beso’
Me tienen enganchado y me siento preso
No aguanto la distancia y duele el silencio
Me mata que me ignores y te confieso
Ya no te quiero en mí, te robaste mi vida
Me quedó la piel rasgada de tanto sufrir por tu amor
Ya no te quiero en mí, devolveme la vida
Me quedó la piel marcada, cansada de tanto dolor
Y quisiera que no estés donde voy
Siempre me escapo y te vuelvo a encontrar
Cada vez que me siento mejor
A tu infierno vos me haces bajar
Soy un adicto a tu cuerpo
Pero me niego a entregarte el alma
Me destrozaste por dentro
Hasta dejarme sin nada
Me rompiste todo el cuerpo
Pero no pudiste con mi alma
No voy a darte más tiempo
Fuiste una droga muy cara
Emanero, ahí va
Vamo’, La K’onga
Junto a Antonio Rios
Qué runfla, papá
Ya no te quiero en mí, te robaste mi vida
Me quedó la piel rasgada de tanto sufrir por tu amor
Ya no te quiero en mí, devolveme la vida
Me quedó la piel marcada, cansada de tanto dolor
Y yo que estaba solo
Te vi bailando para mí
Tu silueta me llama y yo caigo de nuevo
En el juego de la tentación
