[English]
Simone Mendes!
Hello, Manaus
You won't forget me
You can resort to plan B
Remove my perfume from the perfumeries
Forbid the city from wearing black shirts
You'll see that to get over me
It's going to be a headache
I am the finger in the wound
Your forbidden longing
The shiver that your body loves
The unforgettable mistake of your bed
I am the finger in the wound
Your forbidden longing
The shiver that your body loves
The unforgettable mistake of your bed
Simone Mendes
Remove my perfume from the perfumeries
Forbid the city from wearing black shirts
You'll see that to get over me
It's going to be a headache
I am the finger in the wound
Your forbidden longing
The shiver that your body loves
The unforgettable mistake of your bed
I am the finger in the wound
Your forbidden longing
The shiver that your body loves
The unforgettable mistake of your bed
The shiver that your body loves
The unforgettable mistake of your bed
