[English]

We met at the after-party,

you were all alone

And your little cat, where did you leave it?

You came out for me,

I can feel it

Right away, she followed me,

and whispered in my ear:

"I can tell you’re lost"

"Come up to my room"

You’ve got the address

1204

And the cold air

You’re such a bad girl,

that little note’s got you high

I spend all day on your Instagram,

waiting to see what you’ll post

Uh-ah-ah-ah

Missionary on the edge of the bed

That’s what I think when I look at your face

That blonde girlfriend of yours

I saw her too, I’ve got my eye on her

Invite her, let’s see what happens

The three of us are gonna have a good time

Ay, baby

And I’ll confess, if I see you again,

I’ll definitely make my move

If that’s your girl, and you don’t mind,

share her, split her

I just want a little taste,

I’m not trying to steal her, take her away

The vibe’s got my wild side out of control,

out of control

Lost in the rhythm

And if I come up to your room

I already know the address,

1204

Turn the air real cold

Because I’m a bad girl,

the weed’s got me feeling wild

I spend all day on your Instagram,

waiting to see what you’ll post

Two espresso martinis,

for the infinity pool

After she messes with me, she disappears,

I call her "Houdini"

I’ll steal you like Miko stole TINI

Tell that guy you’re off the leash today

And to save his breath on the speech

Tonight we celebrate, tomorrow it’s hangover at Dorado Beach

I told her, "Get on all fours," and she said, "Got it"

Call your friend, let’s make a switch

Always fresh, she smells like peach

For that booty, I’m going all-in

All designer, no Supreme

Private flight to Saint Martin

So she knows the sky’s not the limit

I’ll take you further,

looking for a towel

To dry up the mess you left

On the floor,

it’s crazy

You climb on without permission

And if tomorrow you drop me,

I’ll just make my move again

And if that’s your girl, and you don’t mind,

share her, share her

I just want a little taste,

I’m not trying to steal her, take her away

The vibe’s got my wild side out of control,

out of control

We met at the after-party,

you were all alone

And your little cat,

where did you leave it?

You came out for me,

even though I already felt it

That’s why she followed me,

she said, "I’m following you"

[Spanish]

Nos vimo' en el after,

tú andabas solita

Y a tu gatito, ¿dónde lo dejaste?

Tú saliste pa' mí,

eso lo percibo

De una me siguió,

y me dijo al oído:

"Te noto perdío'"

"Sube pa' mi cuarto"

Tú tienes la ubi

1204

Y el aire en el frío

Es que tú ere' una bellaquita,

esa notita te tiene elevá'

Me la paso todo' los día' metío' en tu Insta

a ver qué va a postear

Uh-ah-ah-ah

Missionary en el borde 'e la cama

En eso pienso si miro tu cara

Esa rubia que es novia tuya

La vi también, le tengo unas gana'

Invítala, a ver qué hace

Que la vamo' a pasar bien los tre'

Ay, baby

Y te confieso que si te vuelvo a ver,

obvio voy a aplicártela

Si esa es tu baby, y no te molesta,

compártela, pártela

Yo quiero un ñaki na' má',

yo no pienso robártela, quitártela

La rola me tiene la bellaquera descontrolá',

descontrolá'

En la nota perdío'

Y si subo pa' tu cuarto

Ya tengo la ubi,

1204

El aire ponlo bien frío

Porque soy una bellaquita,

la motita me tiene mala

Yo me la paso todo' los día' en tu Insta

a ver qué va a postear

Dos espressos martini,

pa' la piscina infini

Despué' que me chinga, se desaparece,

le digo "Houdini"

Vo'a robarte como Miko a TINI

Dile a ese cabrón que hoy tú andas sin leash

Y que por favor se ahorre en el speech

Hoy celebramo' y mañana hangover pa' Dorado Beach

Le dije: "Ponte en four" y dijo: "Capisce"

Llama a tu amiga y hacemo' un switch

Siempre bañaíta', eso le huele a peach

Por ese culo yo me voy all-in

To' designer, no quiere Supreme

Vuelo privado y pa' San Martín

Pa' que vea que el cielo no es el fin

Te llevo más allá,

busco una toalla

Pa' secarte el reguero que dejaste

En el piso,

es enfermizo

Tú te trepa' sin permiso

Y si mañana tú me tira',

pues vuelvo a aplicártela

Y si esa es tu baby, y no te molesta,

compártela, compártela

Yo quiero un ñaki na' má',

yo no pienso robártela, quitártela

La rola me tiene la bellaquera descontrolá',

descontrolá'

Nos vimo' en el after,

tú andabas solita

Y a tu gatita,

¿dónde lo dejaste?

Tú saliste pa' mí,

aunque ya lo percibo

Por eso me siguió,

me dijo: "Te sigo"
