Lyrics: Pedro Julian Tovar Oceguera

Music: Pedro Julian Tovar Oceguera

Lie to me just like you know how

Because I've already gotten used to it

Even if you're with him

I call you at night

Baby, you know exactly why

I have to steal you away

I want your lips, your kisses, and your body

Text me, where can I see you?

Even if it's a secret

If you hide me from him, I don't give a damn

Add me to your list, but do it right now

Mami, you are mine, ah-ah

Compa Peso

Pure Double P, man

Chau!

Pure Eslabon Armado, my friend

Yayay

Chau

Let's go!

Uh!

Damn!

Compa Pedro

The truth is, I've lost faith

That I'll never, ever be your boyfriend

I tried so hard months ago

But we talk way too often

Your type is skinny guys

And clearly, I don't quite fit that description

So we reached a good agreement

To be friends with benefits

I want your lips, your kisses, and your body

Text me, where can I see you?

Even if it's a secret

If you hide me from him, I don't give a damn

Add me to your list, but do it right now

Mami, you are mine, ah-ah

...

Mienteme como tú sabes

Porque de eso ya me acostumbré

Aunque tú estés con él

Por las noches yo te llamo

Mija, tú bien sabes bien por qué

Me toca robarte

Quiero tus labios, tus besos y tu cuerpo

Mándame, ¿dónde te veo?

Aunque sea secreto

Que me escondas de él, me vale purititita madre

Súmame más a tu lista, pero ahorita

Mami, tú eres mía, ah-ah

Compa Peso

Pura Double P, viejo

¡Chau!

Puro Eslabon Armado, mi viеjo

Yayay

Chau

¡Jálese!

¡Uh!

A la verga

Compa Pеdro

Es que yo ya te perdí la fe

De que nunca, nunca tu novio seré

Lo intenté mucho hace mese'

Pero hablamos muy seguidamente

Tus tipos son vatos flacos

Y, claramente, no describo tanto

Llegamos a un buen acuerdo

De ser amigos con derechos

Quiero tus labios, tus besos y tu cuerpo

Mándame, ¿dónde te veo?

Aunque sea secreto

Que me escondas de él, me vale purititita madre

Súmame más a tu lista, pero ahorita

Mami, tú eres mía, ah-ah
