Maybe it was me

The one who went out to party late and didn't make it home

But I wasn't with anyone, I swear to God

They tempted me many times, but no

Oh, but no

Baby, trust me

I just went out for a cold one, a cold one, a cold one, a cold one, a cold one

Your friends were lying to you

I know you thought I was shameless

Things got wild

And my shirt got torn, what a pain!

We hugged and that's why there's this smell

I wasn't up to anything, girl, please stop

Oh, please

Baby, trust me

I just went out for a cold one, a cold one, a cold one, a cold one, a cold one

Your friends were lying to you

I know you thought I was shameless

Things got heated

Things escalated, someone came, kissed me

The wine stain is because she tripped

You called me right when things went crazy

You called me right with all the noise

Saturday night, everyone's in the street

They just put on the one you like

One sticks to me, the other talks to me

But I was only thinking of you

"Dance," she told me: "come, dance"

I almost got tangled up falling into her game

With so much insistence, I had to leave

"Dance," she told me: "come, dance"

Come, get close and dance like in Puerto Rico

And I swear I won't go out alone again

Maybe it was me

The one who went out to party late and didn't make it home

But I wasn't with anyone, I swear to God

They tempted me many times, but no

Oh, but no

Baby, trust me

I just went out for a cold one, a cold one, a cold one, a cold one, a cold one

Your friends were lying to you

I know you thought I was shameless

Dance with me, come, dance

Yeah-yeah-yeah

Dance with me, come, dance

Yeah-yeah-yeah

Quizás fui yo

El que se fue de fiesta tarde y no llegó

Pero no estuve con nadie, juro por Dios

Que me tentaron muchas veces, pero no

Ay, pero no

Baby, confía-fía-fía-fía

Solo salí por una fría, fría, fría, fría, fría

Tus amigas te mentían-ían-ían-ían

Yo sé que tú te habías pensado que yo era un descarado

Metieron un gol

Y me rompieron la camisa, ¡qué dolor!

Nos abrazamos y por eso es el olor

No andaba en nada, chica, para por favor

Ay, por favor

Baby, confía-fía-fía-fía

Solo salí por una fría, fría, fría, fría, fría

Tus amigas te mentían-ían-ían-ían

Yo sé que tú te habías pensado que yo era un descarado

Esto se calentó

Metieron un gol, vino alguien, me besó

La mancha de vino es porque ella tropezó

Justo me llamaste cuando esto se enloqueció

Justo me llamaste con la bulla

Sábado en la noche, to'l mundo en la calle

Acaban de poner la que te gusta a ti

Una se me pega, la otra me habla

Pero solamente yo pensaba en ti

"Baila", me dijo: "ven, baila"

Por poco me enredo cayendo en su juego

A tanta insistencia me tuve que ir

"Baila", me dijo: "ven, baila"

Ven, pégate rico como en Puerto Rico

Y te juro que solo no vuelvo a salir

Quizás fui yo

El que se fue de fiesta tarde y no llegó

Pero no estuve con nadie, juro por Dios

Que me tentaron muchas veces, pero no

Ay, pero no

Baby, confía-fía-fía-fía

Solo salí por una fría, fría, fría, fría, fría

Tus amigas te mentían-ían-ían-ían

Yo sé que tú te habías pensado que yo era un descarado

Baila conmigo, ven, baila

Yeh-yeh-yeh

Baila conmigo, ven, baila

Yeh-yeh-yeh

Key Grammar Structures

• Quizás fui yo

  ➔ Perhaps + Preterite (Doubt/Possibility in Past)

  ➔ “Quizás” (perhaps/maybe) is followed by a verb in the preterite tense (“fui”) to express a possibility or doubt about a past action or state. This contrasts with “quizás” + subjunctive for present/future doubt. Highlight: "Quizás", "fui"

• Pero no estuve con nadie, juro por Dios

  ➔ Double Negation with Indefinite Pronouns

  ➔ In Spanish, it's common and grammatically correct to use a negative word like “no” before the verb, along with another negative indefinite pronoun (e.g., “nadie,” “nunca,” “nada”) after the verb. This emphasizes the negation. Highlight: "no", "nadie"

• Baby, confía-fía-fía-fía

  ➔ Imperative Mood (Tú form) with Repetition for Emphasis

  ➔ “Confía” is the affirmative ‘tú’ command form of the verb “confiar” (to trust). The repetition “fía-fía-fía” is used for emphatic effect, reinforcing the direct command or plea. Highlight: "confía"

• Solo salí por una fría, fría, fría, fría, fría

  ➔ Preposition `por` for Cause/Purpose + Idiomatic Expression

  ➔ The preposition “por” is used here to indicate the reason or purpose for going out (“por una fría” - *for* a cold one/beer). “Una fría” is an idiomatic way to refer to a cold drink, often a beer. Highlight: "por", "una fría"

• Yo sé que tú te habías pensado que yo era un descarado

  ➔ Pluperfect Tense + Reflexive Verb `pensarse`

  ➔ “Te habías pensado” is the pluperfect tense of the reflexive verb “pensarse” (to imagine, to have thought). It describes an action that happened before another past action (“que yo era un descarado” - that I was a scoundrel). “Pensarse” implies forming an idea or belief in one's mind. Highlight: "te habías pensado", "era"

• Nos abrazamos y por eso es el olor

  ➔ Reciprocal Reflexive Verb

  ➔ “Nos abrazamos” uses the reflexive pronoun “nos” (ourselves/each other) with the verb “abrazar” (to hug). This indicates a reciprocal action, meaning “we hugged each other.” Highlight: "Nos abrazamos"

• Acaban de poner la que te gusta a ti

  ➔ Periphrasis `acabar de + infinitive` + Reinforcing Indirect Object Pronoun

  ➔ “Acaban de poner” uses the periphrasis “acabar de + infinitive,” which means “to have just done something” (they just put on). “La que” is a relative pronoun. “Te gusta a ti” uses the indirect object pronoun “te” (you) which is reinforced by the prepositional phrase “a ti” for emphasis or clarity. Highlight: "Acaban de poner", "te", "a ti"

• Por poco me enredo cayendo en su juego

  ➔ `Por poco` (almost) + Gerund

  ➔ “Por poco” is an idiomatic phrase meaning “almost” or “nearly.” It indicates that something was on the verge of happening but didn't. The gerund “cayendo” (falling/getting into) describes the manner or consequence of the action. Highlight: "Por poco", "cayendo"

• A tanta insistencia me tuve que ir

  ➔ Periphrasis `tener que + infinitive` (obligation) in Preterite

  ➔ “Me tuve que ir” uses the periphrasis “tener que + infinitive” (to have to) conjugated in the preterite tense. “Irse” is a reflexive verb meaning “to leave.” So, “I had to leave.” Highlight: "tuve que ir"

• Y te juro que solo no vuelvo a salir

  ➔ Periphrasis `volver a + infinitive` (repetition) in Negative

  ➔ “No vuelvo a salir” uses the periphrasis “volver a + infinitive,” which signifies repeating an action or doing it again. In its negative form, it means “I won't do it again” or “I won't go out again.” Highlight: "no vuelvo a salir"
