[English]

If you think you took something from me

You better come back, because it's still here very well

I sent out an S.O.S., but it wasn't for you

And I know things aren't all bad for you

That you have a hyper-functional model

I sent out an S.O.S., but it wasn't for you

Hey, baby, remember it

Poison is the antidote

And you try to provoke me, you know how to do it well

Your worst mistake was hurting me and not killing me right away

I sharpen my caresses, the edge is on your skin

Your worst mistake was hurting me and not killing me right away

The edge is on your skin

(Think before you run)

The edge is on your skin

(Think before you run)

Hey, baby, remember it

Poison is the antidote

I'm immune to your resentment

Hey, baby, remember it

Poison is the antidote

I'm immune to your resentment

If you think you took something from me

You better come back, because it's still here very well

I sent out an S.O.S., but it wasn't for you

And I know things aren't all bad for you

That you have a hyper-functional model

I sent out an S.O.S., but it wasn't for you

...

And you try to provoke me, you know how to do it well

Your worst mistake was hurting me and not killing me right away

I sharpen my caresses, the edge is on your skin

Your worst mistake was hurting me and not killing me right away

Your worst mistake was hurting me and not killing me right away

Your worst mistake

Your worst mistake

...

[Spanish]

Si crees que te llevaste algo de mí

Más vale que regreses, porque sigue aquí muy bien

Un S.O.S. emití, pero no era para ti

Y sé que no la pasas del todo mal

Que tienes un modelo hiperfuncional

Un S.O.S. emití, pero no era para ti

Hey, baby, recuérdalo

Veneno es antídoto

Y buscas provocarme, sabes hacerlo bien

Tu peor error fue herirme y no matarme de una vez

Afilo mis caricias, el filo está en tu piel

Tu peor error fue herirme y no matarme de una vez

El filo está en tu piel

(Piensa antes de correr)

El filo está en tu piel

(Piensa antes de correr)

Hey, baby, recuérdalo

Veneno es antídoto

Soy inmune a tu rencor

Hey, baby, recuérdalo

Veneno es antídoto

Soy inmune a tu rencor

Si crees que te llevaste algo de mí

Más vale que regreses, porque sigue aquí muy bien

Un S.O.S. emití, pero no era para ti

Y sé que no la pasas del todo mal

Que tienes un modelo hiperfuncional

Un S.O.S. emití, pero no era para ti

Y buscas provocarme, sabes hacerlo bien

Tu peor error fue herirme y no matarme de una vez

Afilo mis caricias, el filo está en tu piel

Tu peor error fue herirme y no matarme de una vez

Tu peor error fue herirme y no matarme de una vez

Tu peor error

Tu peor error
