For the world

The dynamic duo

W with Yandel

Come closer to me, just a little bit

I want to feel you, give me some space

Come closer, I need you

I want to dance with you, real close

Dancing, I touched her, and she let it happen

I take my chance—pam, pam, pam

I touch her—pam, pam, pam

Dancing, I touched her, and she let it happen

I take my chance—pam, pam, pam

I touch her—pam, pam, pam

My girl’s got her Victoria’s Secret showing

Your perfume drives me crazy, like a demon

They want to make you their ceremony

Who, who? The historic duo

Electric, supersonic

Monica, you’re the bionic woman

Unique and at the same time explosive

Electronic, timeless reggaeton

Dancing, I touched her, and she let it happen

I take my chance—pam, pam, pam

I touch her—pam, pam, pam

Dancing, I touched her, and she let it happen

I take my chance—pam, pam, pam

I touch her—pam, pam, pam

Listen, mami

Dark-skinned beauty, you love to party

Baby, move it

You just want to have fun

If you’re bold, show it

Baby, move it

Take it and show off your style

Good evening, my friend, your boy’s here

The one who’s giving you the ride, show off your fit

I just came to say there’s no one like you

When do you want it? Tonight

Come closer to me, just a little

I want to feel you (hard), give me a bit

Come closer, I need you

I want to dance with you, real close

Dancing, I touched her, and she let it happen

I take my chance—pam, pam, pam

I touch her—pam, pam, pam

Dancing, I touched her, and she let it happen

I take my chance—pam, pam, pam

I touch her—pam, pam, pam
