Genres: ,Cuentame que harás
Despues que estrenes
Su cuerpo
Cuando muera tu
Traviesa curiosidad
Cuando memorices
Todos sus recobecos
Y decidas otra vez regresar
Ya no estaré aquí
En el mismo lugar
Si no tiene más que un
Par de dedos de frente
Y descubres que no
Se lava bien los dientes
Si te quita los pocos
Centavos que tienes
Y luego te deja solo
Tal como quiere
Se que volverás el día
En que ella te haga trizas
Sin almohadas para llorar
Pero si te has decidido
Y no quieres más conmigo
Nada ahora puede importar
Porque sin ti
El mundo ya me da igual
[CHORUS:]
Si te vas
Si te vas
Si te marchas
Mi cielo se hará gris
Si te vas
Si te vas
Ya no tienes
Que venir por mi
Si te vas
Si te vas
Y me cambias
Por esa bruja
Pedazo de cuero
No vuelvas nunca más
Que no estaré aquí
Toda escoba nueva
Siempre barre bien
Luego vas a ver desgastadas
Las cerdas cuando las
Arrugas le corten la piel
Y la celulitis invada sus piernas
Volverás desde tu infierno
Con el rabo entre los cuernos
Implorando una vez más
Pero para ese entonces
Yo estaré un millon de noches
Lejos de esta enorme ciudad
Lejos de ti
El mundo ya me da igual
[CHORUS:]
Si te vas
Si te vas
Si te marchas
Mi cielo se hará gris
Si te vas
Si te vas
Ya no tienes
Que venir por mi
Si te vas
Si te vas
Y me cambias
Por esa bruja
Pedazo de cuero
No vuelvas nunca más
