You left and I became triple M
Higher, tougher, lighter
Never getting back with you, you’re bad luck
Because now blessings rain down on me
And you need to come back, I already knew it
Liking my picture
You on the lookout for food outside
Me saying it was monotony
And now you need to come back, I already knew it
Liking my picture (mine)
You look pleased together with your latest life
But when she knew you continue to search for me
Chorus: KAROL G & Shakira
Baby, what happened? (Happened) Didn’t you say you moved on? (Ah)
What are you doing on the lookout for me? (Hey) I don’t repeat mistakes

She doesn’t have a great hand, and not less than I had you looking good

And from afar, I can’t see you anymore, baby
I really like you, but I really like me more, hahaha
