(The single "Livin' La Vida Loca" hit stores on Tuesday, April 20, 1999.)
| Livin' La Vida Loca
(Spanish) La reina de la noche (lyrics courtesy of Milagros Allende) |
Livin' La Vida Loca (English) She's into superstitions Black cats and voodoo dolls. I feel a premonition That girl's gonna make me fall. She's into new sensations New kicks and candlelight. She's got a new addiction For every day and night. She'll make you take your clothes off And go dancing in the rain. She'll make you live her crazy life And she'll take away your pain Like a bullet to your brain. Chorus: Upside, inside-out Livin' la vida loca She'll push and pull you down Livin' la vida loca Her lips are devil red And her skin's the color mocha. She will wear you out Livin' la vida loca. She's livin' la vida loca. She's livin' la vida loca. Woke up in New York City In a funky cheap hotel. She took my heart and she took my money. She must've slipped me a sleeping pill. She never drinks the water, makes you order French champagne Once you've had a taste of her, You'll never be the same. It will make you go insane. Chorus She'll make you take your clothes off.... Chorus (lyrics courtesy of Tori L.) |
