[English]

You

Who lies saying you've moved me out of your life

Why don't you accept it instead of trying to play it cool

Posting those pictures surrounded by all those guys before

Go and tell him

Tell him to stay calm because I’m not competing

I know all your body and I know the tricks

He has nothing on me because I'm your favorite

And if you want, I can explain it to him

You're with him

Because it's not you and me

They can lie to you

But not to me

If you want it slow

Again little by little

And you know I’m your favorite

Baby, money isn't everything

Feelings can't be traded for gold

You left me all alone

You found someone new but didn't get over everything

Counting the hours to see me

Changing me wasn't enough

He thinks he turns you on

But I'm the one who crosses your mind

I'm the poor guy you miss in your room

I'm the engineer on the tracks of your heart

I know that maybe it's not love, just pure obsession

But I know

That you're with him

Because it's not you and me

They can lie to you

But not to me

If you want it slow

Again little by little

And you know I’m your favorite

Tell them

Tell him to stay calm because I’m not competing

I know all your body and I know the tricks

He has nothing on me because I'm your favorite

Your favorite

[Spanish]

Tú

Que mientes diciendo que de tu vida me sacaste

Por que no lo aceptas en vez de hacerte la interesante

Subiendo esas fotos rodeada de todos esos mangas antes

Ve y cuentale

Dile que se quede tranquilo que yo no compito

Que conozco todo tu cuerpo y me se lo truquito

Que no tiene nada que hacer que soy tu favorito

Y si quieres se lo explico

Tu estas con él

Porque no es tu y yo

Pueden mentirte a ti

Pero a mi no

Si quieres suavecito

De nuevo poco a poquito

Y es que tu sabes que yo soy tu favorito

Mami el dinero no lo es todo

El sentimiento no se cambia por oro

Te fuiste me dejaste solo

Buscaste un clavo y no sacaste todo está

Contando las horas pa´ verme

Cambiarme no fue suficiente

El cree que te pone caliente

Y soy yo quien pasa por tu mente

Soy el pobre diablo que extrañas en tu habitación

Soy un maquinista en la vía de tu corazón

Yo sé que tal vez no es amor solo es pura obsesión

Pero yo sé

Que tú estás con él

Porque no es tu y yo

Pueden mentirte a ti

Pero a mi no

Si quieres suavecito

De nuevo poco a poquito

Y es que tu sabes que yo soy tu favorito

Diles

Dile que se quede tranquilo que yo no compito

Que conozco todo tu cuerpo y me se lo truquito

Que no tiene nada que hacer que soy tu favorito

Tu favorito
