Debe ser el perfume que usas
O el agua con la que te bañas
Pero cada cosita que haces
A mi me parece una hazana

Me besaste esa noche
Cual si fuera el ultimo día de tu boca
Cada que yo me acuerdo
Yo siento en mi pecho el peso de una roca

Son tus ojos marrones
Con esa veta verdosa
Es tu cara de niño
Y esa risa nerviosa

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

Por el puro placer de flotar

Ahora si me lleva la corriente
Ya no puedo dormir ni comer
Como lo hace la gente decente

Y tu recuerdo ha quedado
Así como un broche prendido en mi almohada
Y tu en cambio que tienes memoria de pez
No te acuerdas de nada

Son tus manos de hombre
El olor de tu espalda
Lo que no tiene nombre
Lo logra tu mirada

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
