Me pones en tensión, cuando bailas así

Me pones mal a mí, no lo puedo resistir

Declaro, quiero conectarte

Y yo

Te quiero sentir

Me pones mal a mí, no lo puedo resistir

Cuando bailas así

No me cabe duda

De que tú estas bien dura

Dale, mami

Mueve tu cintura

Que Lennox quiere probar tu sabrosura

Tu movimiento es hermoso

Un poco escandaloso

De tan solo verte me pongo furioso

Ven y masticame como un Grosso

Ven mamacita y siente mi coso

Me pones en tensión, cuando bailas así

Me pones mal a mí, no lo puedo resistir

Declaro, quiero conectarte

Y yo

Te quiero sentir

Me pones mal a mí, no lo puedo resistir

Declaro, que quiero azotarte

Te quiero sentir

Me pones mal a mí, no lo puedo resistir
