[English]

If what I want is to hang out with you for a bit

Don't hold back, the night is running out on us

Why are you taking so long?

I know you want to, it shows on you

When you talk to me, when you look at me, you can't fool me

Aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh (listen, with Nely "The Secret Weapon", okay?)

Aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh with Plan B (us, ha-ha)

I know you want to, it shows on you

When you talk to me, when you look at me, you can't fool me

Love at first sight

With that magazine-cover girl

With that little style just like the one Marita has

She likes being pestered, even if she resists

She's not what she portrays herself to be

She says she knows, if she knows, I want to know

If she knows how I'm picturing it, she knows: I'm going to devour her

She says she knows, when she says it, it makes me hungry

If she's imagining it, I'm imagining it: we're going to devour each other

If I could only know what's on your mind

If your look tells me that you're hot

That you act shy in front of people, playing it cool

That you've liked me for a long time is obvious

Forget about what your friends think

Their words are not enough

Why are you taking so long? Why are you holding back?

I know, I know, I know you want to, it shows on you

When you talk to me, when you look at me, you can't fool me

Aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh

Aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh with Plan B

I know you want to, it shows on you

When you talk to me, when you look at me, you can't fool me

I'm the one who rocks it, the one whose singing gets you high

When Plan B sings, the party goes wild

And all the ladies go totally crazy

Crazy, they all came to show off their outfits

She gets all pretty, I like the way she puts her makeup on

She plays hard to get and then she fu—

At the club or in the cars or anywhere

The important thing is to please you and also go on an adventure

Just invite her out, 'cause I know she's gonna like it

Take her out for a spin, 'cause I know she's open-minded

Immortal in sex, with her natural flow like a snake

With a beastly fury

I know, I know, I know you want to, it shows on you

When you talk to me, when you look at me, you can't fool me

Aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh (and we're rolling with Artillery in House Of Pleasure)

Aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh with Plan B (okay? With Pina Records)

I know you want to (I know you want to), it shows on you (it shows on you)

When you talk to me, when you look at me, you can't fool me

Working with the best

Nely "The Secret Weapon"

With the Duo of Sex

[Spanish]

Si yo lo que quiero es compartir contigo un rato

No te cohíbas que se nos acaba la noche

¿Por qué te demoras?

Sé que quieres, se te nota

Al hablarme, al mirarme no puede engañarme

Aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh (oye, con Nely "El Arma Secreta", ¿okey?)

Aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh con el Plan B (nosotros, ja-ja)

Sé que quieres, se te nota

Al hablarme, al mirarme no puede engañarme

Amor a primera vista

Con esa chica de revista

Con el estilito así como la de Marita

Le gusta que le insistan, aunque se resista

Ella no es como se pinta

Ella dice que sabe, si sabe yo quiero saber

Si sabe cómo me imagino, sabe: me la voy a comer

Ella dice que sabe, cuando lo dice me da hambre

Si se imagina, me imagino: nos vamos a comer

Si yo pudiera saber lo que hay en tu mente

Si tu mirada me dice que eres caliente

Que te pones tímida delante de la gente, disimulando

Que hace mucho tú me gustas es evidente

Olvídate de lo que tus amigas piensen

Que sus palabras no son suficientes

¿Por qué te demoras? ¿Por qué te detienes?

Sé, sé, sé que quieres, se te nota

Al hablarme, al mirarme no puede engañarme

Aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh

Aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh con el Plan B

Sé que quieres, se te nota

Al hablarme, al mirarme no puede engañarme

Soy el que la explota, que cantando te sube la nota

Cuando el Plan B canta el party se alborota

Y todas las féminas se ponen bien locas

Loca, todas vinieron a lucir su ropa

Se pone linda, me gusta cómo ella se pinta

Se hace la difícil y después se lo chi-

En la disco o en los carros o en cualquier lugar

Lo importante es complacerte y también aventurar

Solo invítala que yo sé que a ella le va a gustar

Llévatela a pasear que yo sé que es liberal

En el sexo inmortal, con su flow natural como culebra

Con una furia bestial

Sé, sé, sé que quieres, se te nota

Al hablarme, al mirarme no puede engañarme

Aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh (y andamos con el Artillery en House Of Pleasure)

Aeh, aeh, aeh, aeh con el Plan B (¿okey? Con Pina Records)

Sé que quieres (sé que quieres), se te nota (se te nota)

Al hablarme, al mirarme no puede engañarme

Trabajando con los mejores

Nely "El Arma Secreta"

Con el Dúo del Sex
