Like Don Per, smoking the cherry, it kills me

Like that little dress

For that thirst, she is not

Just anyone, I swear you don't leave

My mind, baby, it's just that once wasn't

Enough, I only think about seeing you and once

Again

Devouring you while dancing

Reggaeton in my

Room, just you and I, losing

Control, sipping Don Per at the club, I've been

Watching you for a while now

Exchanging glances

Come to the club, I'll send

Invitations and I'll pay for your friends because

You look classy

So classy, like Don Per, smoking the

Cherry, it kills me, move that body of yours

For that

Thirst, she is not

Just anyone, I swear you don't leave

My mind, baby

[Music]

It's just that

Once wasn't

Enough, I only think about seeing you and once

Again

Devouring you while dancing

Reggaeton in my

Room, just you and I, losing

Control, sipping Don Per at the

Club, I've been watching you

For a while now, exchanging glances

Come to the club, I'll send several bottles

Your way, and I'll pay for your friends because

You look classy

So classy, like Don Per, smoking the

Cherry, it kills me, move that little dress

For that thirst, she is not

Just anyone, I swear you don't leave

My mind
