[Music]

Like Don Per, smoking the

cherry, the way she moves that little dress kills me

It's an offense, the way she

gets horny, she isn't

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 us, you and I, losing

control, ordering Don Per at the club, I've been

watching you for a while now

exchanging glances, let's come

to the club, I'll send the bottles to you and

pay your friends because you look classy

so classy, like Don Per, smoking the

cherry, it

kills me

the way she gets horny, she isn't

just anyone, I swear you don't leave my mind

[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, I'm all alone losing

control

ordering Don Per at the club, I've been

watching you for a while now, exchanging

glances, let's come to the

club, I'll send the bottles to you and pay your

friends because you look classy

[Music]

so classy, like Don Per, smoking the

cherry, it

kills me, she

offends me with

how horny she is, she isn't

just anyone, I swear you don't leave my mind

baby

[Music]

baby
