O-O-Ovy On The Drums

Cheers, baby

Ah, ah-ha, oh

What doesn't work, shouldn't get in the way

You scored an own goal, you're so clumsy

You were out of your league with this

I'm not here for you to fall in love with me anymore, baby

Without a visa or a passport

I sent your fake love on vacation

To hell with it and never come back

May everything come back to you, no

For what you did to me, if you don't get out of here…

Don't call me again, I even threw my phone away

You're so toxic, it became harmful

What's gone is gone

Don't mistake me for someone I'm not

You're so toxic, I don't want to see you anymore

I came to party, bring out the bottle

The one who wanted you, I don't even know who she is

I left you a review, didn't even give you one star

And I forgot you because you didn't leave a mark

I'm not looking back, not even to park

I have one who's ready to take me away

The second one is waiting at the hotel

And I'll meet the third one tonight

Don't call me, I changed my number (changed)

If you want me to give it to you (give it)

Call, 1-800-fuck off

I don't know if you heard me

Don't call me, I changed my number (changed)

If you want me to give it to you (give it)

Call, 1-800-fuck off (fuck off)

Don't call me again, I even threw my phone away

You're so toxic, it became harmful

What's gone is gone, ah

Don't mistake me for someone I'm not

You're so toxic, I don't want to see you anymore (hey)

Oh, I'm sorry

Tu' gana' de volver murieron en el intento (ah)

You made it seem like you wasted your time

You came off well because my thing isn't even worth mentioning (baby)

I see you online, I can't believe it, what a shame for you (shame for you)

I was the good one and you, what a mess, treating me like that (yeah, what a mess)

Two-legged rat, Paquita said it, a creeping animal (ha, ha, ha)

That eats everything in its path, damn, you're a scoundrel (scoundrel)

Don't say "I love you," just be honest

Don't say "I love you" because that was in vain (ah)

You were crying and since I didn't leave you

You're with someone else, but you're still thinking about me (yi)

Don't call me again, I even threw my phone away

You're so toxic, it became harmful

What's gone is gone, ah

Don't mistake me for someone I'm not

You're so toxic, I don't want to see you anymore

Ugh!, repeat it, baby

Sometimes you're not replaced by something better

Or even by something richer

KAROL G and Becky G

It's the real G's, baby

O-O-Ovy On The Drums

Salud, mami

Ah, ah-ja, ay

Lo que no sirve, que no estorbe

Te metiste autogol por torpe

Te quedó grande este torque

Ya no estoy pa que de mí te enamores, baby

Sin visa ni pasaporte

Mandé tu falso amor de vacaciones

Pa la mierda y nunca vuelvas

Que todo se te devuelva, no

De lo que me hiciste si no te acue-

No me vuelvas a llamar, que hasta boté el celular

De lo tóxico que eres, se volvió perjudicial

Lo que se va se va

Conmigo no te equivoques

De lo tóxico que eres, no te quiero ver más

Llegué pa'l party, saca la botella

La que te quería, no sé quién es ella

Te dejé el review, no te puse ni una estrella

Y te olvidé porque no dejaste huella

Ya no miro p'atrás ni pa parquearme

Tengo uno que está listo pa llevarme

El segundo está esperando en el hotel

Y el tercero lo conozco esta noche

No me llames, que mi número cambié (cambié)

Si quieres que te lo dé (dé)

Llama, 1-800-jódete

No sé si me escuchaste

No me llames, que mi número cambié (cambié)

Si quieres que te lo dé (dé)

Llama, 1-800-jódete (jódete)

No me vuelvas a llamar, hasta boté el celular

De lo tóxico que eres, se volvió perjudicial

Lo que se va se va, ah

Conmigo no te equivoques

De lo tóxico que eres, no te quiero ver más (ey)

Ay, yo lo lamento

Tu' gana' de volver murieron en el intento (ah)

Lo hiciste ver como que perdiste el tiempo

Quedaste bien porque lo mío ni lo cuento (papi)

Te veo en la' rede', no puedo creerlo, qué pena de ti (pena de ti)

Yo que fui buena y tú, qué gonorrea, pagándome así (eah, qué gonorrea)

Rata de dos patas, lo dijo Paquita, un animal rastrero (ja, ja, ja)

Que se come todo que se atraviesa, diablo, tú ere' un cuero (cuero)

No digas: "te quiero", mejor sé sincero

No digas: "te amo" porque eso fue en vano (ah)

Llorando estabas tú y como no te salí

Andas comiéndote a otra, pero estás pensando en mí (yi)

No me vuelvas a llamar, que hasta boté el celular

De lo tóxico que eres, se volvió perjudicial

Lo que se va se va, ah

Conmigo no te equivoques

De lo tóxico que eres, no te quiero ver más

¡Auh!, repítelo, mami

Que a veces no te cambian por algo mejor

Y ni siquiera por algo más rico

KAROL G y Becky G

It's the real G's, baby

Key Grammar Structures

• Lo que no sirve, que no estorbe

  ➔ Subjunctive mood, relative clause + imperative

  ➔ This line uses the subjunctive mood with 'sirva' (serve) to express a wish or condition. 'Lo que no sirve' (what doesn't work) is a relative clause, and 'que no estorbe' (don't get in the way) is an imperative. It means 'What doesn't work, shouldn't be in the way'. The use of 'que' introduces the subjunctive.

• Ya no estoy pa que de mí te enamores, baby

  ➔ Negative construction with 'ya no' + subjunctive

  ➔ 'Ya no' indicates a change of state – 'no longer'. 'Pa que' is a colloquial shortening of 'para que' (so that), followed by the subjunctive 'te enamores' (you fall in love). The sentence means 'I'm no longer here for you to fall in love with me, baby'.

• Te quedó grande este torque

  ➔ Impersonal construction with 'quedar' + adjective

  ➔ 'Quedar' in this context means 'to be too much for someone'. 'Grande' (big) describes the 'torque' (challenge, situation). The sentence means 'This situation was too much for you to handle'.

• No me llames, que mi número cambié

  ➔ Negative imperative + relative clause

  ➔ This is a direct negative command: 'Don't call me'. 'Que mi número cambié' (that my number changed) is a relative clause explaining the reason. The 'que' introduces the clause and implies a causal relationship.
