I’m looking at them

dancing slow, she was smiling

the one I wanted, I had her

another one stuck to me, distracting me, she’s got more

There’s a bunch of girls

in the club, and I know you’re having a good time

and today I’m making a move at around 6, Chencho’s playing

and they’re getting gorgeous

for a while now, babe

[Música]

There’s a bunch of beautiful tall girls in the

club, and I want to leave

Stay

let me lift you up like a QR code, go to the

waist, I’m gonna ride you in private

to see, to get intimate with style, I’ll come back

Brandon, we didn’t look, we didn’t start, she

was just looking, we didn’t run away in the

Mercedes, hand in hand, let’s see if it fits, I

see she’s serious, I remember her

when I’m down

There’s a bunch of fake girls in the

club, and I used to go out, spending on them, and
