🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Pasito a pasito, suave suavecito
  • Nos vamos pegando, poquito a poquito
  • Cuando tú me besas con esa destreza
  • Veo que eres malicia con delicadeza

Echo the hook

  • Tus lugares favoritos (favorito, favorito, baby)
  • Déjame sobrepasar tus zonas de peligro (woah, woah)
  • Hasta provocar tus gritos (woah, woah)
  • Y que olvides tu apellido
quierodespacitosube
