English Lyrics - ‘TQG’

KAROL G:

The one who told you that emptiness was filledwith someone else is lying to youIt’s like covering a wound with makeupIt’s not visible, but it’s felt You left saying that you moved on from meand you got yourself a new girlfriendWhat she doesn’t know is that you’re stillwatching all my stories

SHAKIRA and KAROL G:

Baby, what’s up?You were acting like you were over me (over me)Why are you looking for troubleif you know, I don’t repeat mistakes (daddy)

Tell your new babethat I don’t compete for menSo stop trying to get your attentionat least I had you looking good

SHAKIRA:

Seeing you with the new one hurt mebut I’m ready to move onWhat we had is now forgottenand that’s what’s bothering you

And even my life has improvedyou’re no longer welcome hereWhat your girlfriend said about medoesn’t even make me angry, I laugh (I laugh)

KAROL G:

I don’t have time for things that don’t contributeI changed my direction; making money like a sportFilling my bank account, doing my shows, the parking and carrying my passportI’m tougher now, the sports say

SHAKIRA:

Now you want to come back; it’s obvious (mmm yes)Wait for me there, I’m an idiot

KAROL G:

You forgot that I’m in something else nowyou couldn’t handle the big girl (la bichota)

SHAKIRA and KAROL G:

Baby, what’s up?You were acting like you were over me (over me)Why are you looking for troubleif you know, I don’t repeat mistakes (daddy)

Tell your new babethat I don’t compete for menSo stop trying to get your attentionat least I had you looking good (Shakira, Shakira)

SHAKIRA:

You left, and I became a triple Mbetter, tougher, higher level

KAROL G:

Never going back to you; you were bad luckbecause now blessings rain on meAnd you want to come back, I already knewliking my photos

SHAKIRA:

You were looking for food elsewheresaying it was monotonousAnd now you want to come back. I already knewliking my photos (liking all my photos)

KAROL G:

You seem to have a new life butif she knew you were still looking for me

SHAKIRA and KAROL G:

Baby, what’s up?You were acting like you were over me (over me)Why are you looking for troubleif you know, I don’t repeat mistakes (daddy)

Tell your new babethat I don’t compete for menSo stop trying to get your attentionat least I had you looking good

KAROL G:

My love, you’ve gone too farAnd from afar, I can’t see, baby

SHAKIRA:

Love you, but love you gone... (TQM, pero TQG...)Barranquilla, Medellín.
