[English]

I already bit one

I don't look for her anymore

Where do I sign?

That this matter ends here

I already bit the other one

Because this one is serious

I have plenty of pride

Unfortunately for her, it's something I have

We don't beg on this profile, and we keep our word

This time she'll have to settle for just the memory

She'll be left wanting to sleep in my bed

To wake up with those little kisses like I used to give them

She'll be left wanting because I don't want to anymore

That's what happens for playing like she can handle me

It's not this way, but here, whoever tries it

Always come back asking for more

...

She'll be left wanting to sleep in my bed

To wake up with those little kisses like I used to give them

She'll be left wanting because I don't want to

That's what happens for playing like she can handle me

It's not this way, but here, whoever tries it

Always come back asking for more

[Spanish]

Ya me mordí uno

Yo ya no la busco

Dónde se las firmo

Que hasta aquí llego este asunto

Ya me mordí el otro

Porque esta va en serio

Orgullo de sobra

Pa su mala suerte es algo que yo tengo

En este perfil no rogamos y palabra tenemos

Esta vez tendrá que conformarse con solo el recuerdo

Se va quedar con las ganas de dormir en mi cama

De despertar con aquellos besitos como se los daba

Se va quedar queriendo porque, yo, ya no quiero

Eso le pasa por andar jugándole al que yo las puedo

No es por acá, pero aquí siempre que prueban

Siempre vuelven a pedir más

Se va quedar con las ganas de dormir en mi cama

De despertar con aquellos besitos como se los daba

Se va quedar queriendo porque, yo, no quiero

Eso le pasa por andar jugándole al que yo las puedo

No es por acá, pero aquí siempre que prueban

Siempre vuelven a pedir más
