Lyrics[]
Somos novios
Pues los dos sentimos mutuo amor profundo
Y con eso ya ganamos lo más grande de este mundo
Nos amamos, nos besamos
Como novios nos deseamos y hasta a veces
Sin motivo, sin razón nos enojamos
Somos novios
Mantenemos un cariño limpio y puro
Como todos
Procuramos el momento más oscuro
Para hablarnos
Para darnos el más dulce de los besos
Recordar de qué color son los cerezos
Sin hacer mas comentarios
Somos novios, ooh, ooh, yeah
It's just impossible
Nos amamos, nos besamos
Como novios
Nos deseamos y hasta a veces
Sin motivo, sin razón
Nos enojamos
Sin motivo, sin razón
Somos novios
Mantenemos un cariño
Limpio y puro, yeah
Como todos
Como todos
Procuramos
El momento más oscuro
Oh, yeah
Para hablarnos
Para darnos el más dulce de los besos
Recordar de qué color son los cerezos
Sin hacer mas comentarios
Somos novios
Somos novios
Siempre novios, ooh yeah
Somos novios
