AMOR DE BARRIO

I hit the corner to your place and cross the square
Where we first met on WhatsApp
We went for coffee and your red lips on the cup
The shine in your eyes behind those glasses

I don’t want you to stress out
You were the one calling
And you freaked out when I didn’t answer
I told you and you never believed me, nothing ever happened
And I apologized with pretty flowers at your window

So you’re my gypsy
Made of porcelain
For you, I’ll ditch all the bad stuff
You act tough when you want and don’t call me
How many times did I wait for you and you never showed up?

I searched for you like a cat in the early morning
With dark circles from no sleep, barefoot and wrinkled skin
Sitting on that bench where you used to kiss me
You’d hide if your mom walked by
Babe

I can’t live without your love
You and I are neighborhood love
And after all these years
I just ask that
Baby, don’t hold a grudge
I’ll do whatever it takes
Just to see you again and fix the damage

With you, I feel like the champion of the world
You were there when I hit rock bottom
Family’s gone, now they’re deceased
But still, I know that being together

We’ll jump all those bumps, baby
I’m not from Miami but I feel like Tracy
You know with you I’m going crazy
Focused on the money, I’m done with the girls

I hear your voice and regain my faith
Like Christ when he speaks, I feel blessed
Before we couldn’t even make it to the end of the month
Now we’re leaving the department store and heading to the sushi place

So chill out, we’re not suffering anymore
It wasn’t by chance, nor was it fate
Every year that passes, we get better like wine
And we’re in the place we chose

I can’t live without your love
You and I are neighborhood love
And after all these years
I just ask that
Baby, don’t hold a grudge
I’ll do whatever it takes
Just to see you again and fix the damage

A thousand sleepless nights
The more you pull away, the more I want you
Our love can’t be bought with money
And to be honest
I won’t lie to you
I don’t want to argue again
And have to start from scratch

I can’t live without your love
You and I are neighborhood love
And after all these years
I just ask that
Baby, don’t hold a grudge
I’ll do whatever it takes
Just to see you again and fix the damage
