[Music]

Like Don Peri, smoking the cherry,

it kills me the way she looks in that little dress.

That beauty

is not just anyone.

I swear you won't leave my mind, baby.

Because just once

was enough.

I only think about seeing you and tasting you again.

Dancing reggaetón

in my room.

Just you and me losing control.

I order Don Peri at the club, for a while now

I've been watching you, exchanging glances.

Sparklers go off in the club.

I'll send bottles to your friends,

I'll pay because you look classy,

classy like Don P.

Smoking the cherry,

it kills me how she moves that little dress.

[Music]

she's not just anyone.

I swear you won't leave my mind, baby.

[Music]

Because just once

was enough.

I only think about seeing you and tasting you again.

Dancing reggaetón

in my room.

Just the two of us

losing control.

I order Don Peri at the club.

For a while now I've been

watching you, exchanging glances. Sparklers

go off in the club, I'll send bottles

to your friends, I'll pay because you look classy,

as

classy as Don.

Smoking the cherry,

it kills me how she moves that little dress.

That beauty, she's not just anyone.

I swear you won't leave my mind, baby.

[Música]

Como don Peri quemando la cherry,

me mata como me ve el vestidito feo.

La bella

no es cualquiera.

Te juro que de mi mente no sales, baby.

Es que una vez

fue suficiente.

Solo pienso en verte y otra vez comerte.

Bailando reggaetón

en mi habitación.

Solo tú y yo perdiendo el control.

Pido don Peri en el antro, ya desde hace

rato que yo te estaba mirando de miradas

intercambio. Prenden, vengalas en el

antro. Var botellitas te mando a tus

amigales pago porque te ves fina como

fina como don P.

Quemando la cherry

me mata como mueve el vestidito ofendera

[Música]

no es cualquiera.

Te juro que de mi mente no sales beber.

[Música]

Es que una vez

fue suficiente.

Solo pienso en verte y otra vez comerte.

Bailando reggaetón

en mi habitación.

Solitos

perdiendo el control.

Pido don Peri en el antro.

Ya desde hace rato que yo te estaba

mirando de miradas intercambio. Prenden

vengalas en el antro botellitas te mando

a tus amigales pago porque te ves fina

como

fina como don.

Quemando la cherry

me mata como un nuevo el vestito ofende.

La bella que era ella no es cualquiera.

Te juro que de mi mente no sales beber.
