I have cried for, I will die for how I care (La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
In the mountains, las campanas están sonando (La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Todos los chicos (Chicas), y los chicos (Chicas)
Se están besando (La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't speak your

Don't you try to catch me
Don't you try to catch me, no, no, no, no

Living on the edge of the law, law, law, law

Don't you try to get me, no, no, no, no
Don't you try to catch me
Living on the edge of the law, law, law, law
