Ni pedo, pues ya ni qué hacerle
Maldito cariño, era todo una mentira
Fuiste fugaz
Me eché otro whiskacho
Por amor hace rato que no bebía
Chale, ni pa' qué les cuento
Bien sarra que se siente sin ti empezar el día
Y terminar
Qué tranquila se te ve
Y yo bien malilla por darte otra vez, uh-oh, oh
Bien, me saliste, pero bien infiel
Bonita y canija, vieras qué mal te ves, uh-oh, oh
Jajay, mamá
