Si yo lo visto no está en colección

De noche en Buenos Aires de día en Paris

Directo al after party

Esquivando los flashes al salir

Y todo me sale bien

And everything goes well for me

Y todo me

Una diva soñada

Who can blame me?

Seda egipcia en la cama

Se derrite el lugar, yeah

Soy todo lo diva que pensaba que iba a ser

Bailo como Britney y visto como Cher

Aunque tenga money eso no me va a definir

Porque antes de tener todo eso ya me sentí así, eyy

Cenando en la embajada con una minifalda
