Lyrics

[Letra de "Addicted to You"]

[Verso 1]
Debe ser el perfume que usas
O el agua con la que te bañas
Pero cada cosita que haces
A mí me parece una hazaña
Me besaste esa noche
Cual si fuera el último día de tu boca
Cada vez que yo me acuerdo
Yo siento en mi pecho el peso de una roca

[Pre-Coro]
Son tus ojos marrones
Esa veta verdosa
Es tu cara de niño
Y esa risa nerviosa

[Coro]
I'm addicted to you
Porque es un vicio tu piel
Baby, I'm addicted to you
Quiero que te dejes querer
I'm addicted to you
Porque es un vicio tu piel
Baby, I'm addicted to you
Quiero que te dejes querer
[Verso 2]
Por el puro placer de flotar
Ahora si me llevó la corriente
Ya no puedo dormir ni comer
Como lo hace la gente decente
Un recuerdo ha quedado
Así como un broche prendido a mi almohada
Y tú en cambio que tienes memoria de pez
No te acuerdas de nada

[Pre-Coro]
Son tus manos de hombre
El olor de tu espalda
Lo que no tiene nombre
Lo logró tu mirada

[Coro]
I'm addicted to you
Porque es un vicio tu piel
Baby, I'm addicted to you
Quiero que te dejes querer
I'm addicted to you
Porque es un vicio tu piel
Baby, I'm addicted to you
Quiero que te dejes querer
