[English]

Yeh, yeh, yeh - Yeh, yeh, yeh

You came looking for me (Looking for me) - Because they let you down again (Again), yeh-eh

You came looking for me (Looking for me) - But that game is over now (That game),

yeh-eh

Because I'm tired now, eh-eh, eh-eh-eh - Of you not valuing my arms, my arms

And I'm tired now, eh-eh, eh-eh-eh - Of just being a "just in case," a backup plan

Say goodbye to your best option - Bye, I'm gone (I'm gone), I'm gone (I'm gone)

Say goodbye to your best option - Bye, I'm gone (I'm gone), I'm gone (I'm gone)

Eh-eh-eh

And no one knows what they have until it's gone - And you won't even realize

That no one is going to love you like I do - Baby, you have no power over me anymore

And you always wanted a fantasy love, - like unicorns

But all you got was cheated on - Another goddess who preferred hell

That bastard was going to hurt you, it was obvious - And it's not that I believe in eternal love

But thinking about whether you're okay, I can't even - sleep

Your mom is crazy for me to be her son-in-law - And I was waiting like a fool, I hate myself now

But I'm tired of being the alternative - And of the summers that end in winter

Maybe Pisces just doesn't mix with Capricorn - Or maybe half-hearted love has become the modern way,

eh - And if it's real, I don't hide it, eh

If you're my goddess, I'll start a cult for you - But you got used to the insults

And although I'm dying to, we can't see each other, - eh

One day yes, one day no, that's not being together - It's been a while since you called to hook up

And today you come looking for me (Looking for me) - Because they let you down again (Again), yeh-eh

You came looking for me (Looking for me) - But that game is over now (That game)

[Spanish]

Yeh, yeh, yeh Yeh, yeh, yeh

Viniste buscándome (Buscándome) Porque te fallaron de nuevo (De nuevo), yeh-eh

Viniste buscándome (Buscándome) Pero ya se acabó ese juego (Ese juego),

yeh-eh

Porque ya me cansé, eh-eh, eh-eh-eh De que no valores mis brazos, mis brazos

Y ya me cansé, eh-eh, eh-eh-eh De solo ser por si acaso, un por si acaso

Dile adiós a tu mejor opción Bye, me fui (Me fui), me fui (Me fui)

Dile adiós a tu mejor opción Bye, me fui (Me fui), me fui (Me fui)

Eh-eh-eh

Y nadie sabe lo que tiene hasta que lo pierde Y tú ni quisiera va' a saber

Que cómo yo nadie te va a querer Baby, sobre mí ya no tiene' poder

Y tú que siempre quería' un amor de fantasía, como lo' unicornio'

Pero solo te dieron el cuerno Otra diosa má' que prefirió el infierno

Que ese cabrón te haría daño, eso era obvio Y no es que yo crea en el amor eterno

Pero pensando en si está' bien, ya yo ni duermo

Tu mai' loca de que yo sea su yerno Y yo esperando como un tonto, ya me odio

Pero ya me cansé de ser el alterno Y de lo' verano' que terminan en invierno

Quizá' es que piscis no mezcla con capricornio O que el amor a media' se ha vuelto moderno,

eh Y si e' real yo no lo oculto, eh

Si ere' mi diosa, te hago un culto Pero te acostumbraste a los insulto'

Y aunque muera de gana' no podemo' verno', eh

Un día sí, un día no, eso no e' tenerno' Hace tiempo no llamaba' pa' comerno'

Y hoy vienes buscándome (Buscándome) Porque te fallaron de nuevo (De nuevo), yeh-eh

Viniste buscándome (Buscándome) Pero ya se acabó ese juego (Ese juego)
