Lyrics

[Letra de "Perro Fiel" ft. Nicky Jam]

[Verso 1: Shakira & Nicky Jam]
Aquí estás
Ya no puedes detenerte
¿Dónde vas? Si estoy loco por tenerte
Cómo lo iba a saber
Que te vería otra vez

[Coro: Shakira & Nicky Jam]
Tú me confundes, no sé qué hacer
Yo lo que quiero es pasarla bien
Yo tengo miedo de que me guste
Y que vaya a enloquecer
Si eso pasa yo seguiré
Contigo aquí como un perro fiel
Yo tengo miedo de que me guste
Y que vaya a enloquecer

[Verso 2: Shakira & Nicky Jam]
Te hablo en serio mai, no estoy jugando
Tanto tiempo pasa y nada
Estas ganas no me aguanto
Y aunque tú me esquives, yo te sigo deseando
Dicen que tú eres peligrosa
No le hago caso a esas cosas
Dime qué está pasando
Me tienes como un loco, soy un loco enamorado, eh
Quiero saber cuánto me vas a insistir
Y hasta dónde llegarías por mí
Siento mucho la espera
Pero valdrá la pena cuando te esté besando
De la manera que te mueves así
Yo te lo juro me voy a derretir
Tú sabes que soy buena
Por más que yo te esquive me sigues deseando
[Coro: Shakira & Nicky Jam]
Tú me confundes, no sé qué hacer
Yo lo que quiero es pasarla bien
Yo tengo miedo de que me guste
Y que vaya a enloquecer
Si eso pasa yo seguiré
Contigo aquí como un perro fiel
Yo tengo miedo de que me guste
Y que vaya a enloquecer

[Puente: Shakira]
Enloque-que-quecer
Yo no pido nada extraordinario
Solo un hombre de verdad
Que se tire por mí al barro
Que cambie las bombillas y hasta que me lave el carro
Quiero un tipo atento y cariñoso
Pero que no sea muy celoso
Que en la calle sea un príncipe
Pero que en mi cama sea salvaje y peligroso

[Verso 3: Shakira & Nicky Jam]
Puedes pedir lo que quieras de mí
Yo haría lo que fuera para ti
Siento mucho la espera
Pero valdrá la pena cuando te esté besando
Yo estoy seguro que estoy hecho pa' ti
Yo te lo juro no te haré sufrir
Como te dije nena
Por más que tú me esquives, te sigo deseando
[Coro: Shakira & Nicky Jam]
Tú me confundes, no sé qué hacer
Yo lo que quiero es pasarla bien
Yo tengo miedo de que me guste
Y que vaya a enloquecer
Si eso pasa yo seguiré
Contigo aquí como un perro fiel
Yo tengo miedo de que me guste
Y que vaya a enloquecer

[Puente: Shakira & Nicky Jam]
Enloque-que-quecer
Aquí estás
Ya no puedes detenerte
¿Dónde vas? (¡Oh!)
Si estoy loco por tenerte
