[English]

This feels real

I’ve never had anything so precious

I swear I’ll run away

And if they catch me, let it be by your side

Even if they want to kill me

Even if they shoot me

Tell them they’re too late

Your love is already nailed to my chest

On my knees I swore I’d conquer love

That I’d never make that kind of mistake again

They say I shouldn’t love you; you’ll burn my heart

It’s against everything, but I need you now

I look at you and know it’s real

I lose myself in your sensuality

Kisses in the dark

You’re my weakness

This feels real

I’ve never had anything so precious

I swear I’ll run away

And if they catch me, let it be by your side

Even if they want to kill me

Even if they shoot me

Tell them they’re too late

Your love is already nailed to my chest

Nailed to my chest

Nailed to my chest

Madonna, I’m the bullet your pistol fires

Hold on tight, boy; I’m yours alone

Baby, you’re controlling my mind, got me hooked

Madonna, I’m the bullet your pistol fires

Hold on tight, boy; I’m yours alone

Baby, you’re controlling my mind, got me hooked

Kisses in the dark

You’re my weakness

This feels real

I’ve never had anything so precious

I swear I’ll run away

And if they catch me, let it be by your side

Even if they want to kill me

Even if they shoot me

Tell them they’re too late

Your love is already nailed to my chest

[Spanish]

Esto se siente real

Nunca tuve algo tan caro

Te juro que me voy a escapar

Y que si me atrapan que sea a tu lado

Aunque me quieran matar

Aunque me den un disparo

Diles que llegaron tarde

Ya tengo tu amor en el pecho clavado

De rodillas te juré que iba a vencerle al amor

Que no iba a volver a cometer esa clase de error

Dicen que no te quiera, vas a quemarme el corazón

Es en contra de todo, pero te necesito ahora

Te miro y sé que es de verdad

Me pierdo en tu sensualidad

Besos en la oscuridad

Eres mi debilidad

Esto se siente real

Nunca tuve algo tan caro

Te juro que me voy a escapar

Y que si me atrapan que sea a tu lado

Aunque me quieran matar

Aunque me den un disparo

Diles que llegaron tarde

Ya tengo tu amor en el pecho clavado

En el pecho clavado

En el pecho clavado

Madonna soy la bala que maneja tu pistola

Agárrame flaco que soy tuya sola

Nene mi cabeza estás dominándola, viciándola

Madonna soy la bala que maneja tu pistola

Agárrame flaco que soy tuya sola

Nene mi cabeza estás dominándola, viciándola

Besos en la oscuridad

Eres mi debilidad

Esto se siente real

Nunca tuve algo tan caro

Te juro que me voy a escapar

Y que si me atrapan que sea a tu lado

Aunque me quieran matar

Aunque me den un disparo

Diles que llegaron tarde

Ya tengo tu amor en el pecho clavado
