When you are well, you stay away from me
When you feel lonely, I am always there for you
It’s a tug of war
Well, give me what you have there

Hey, baby, don’t be cruel
Don’t leave me longing
I hear in the streets
That you don’t love me anymore
Come, and say it to my face

(Pre-Chorus: Shakira)

Ask whomever you like
Darling, I swear it is not like that
I never had any bad intentions
I never meant to fool you

It’s just that with me, no one ever knows
One day I say no, another, I say yes
(I’m a masochist)
With my body, an egoist

(Chorus: Both, Shakira, Maluma)

You are utter, utter blackmail
Utter, utter blackmail
It’s always your way
I love you even if I don’t want to

You are utter, utter blackmail
Utter, utter blackmail
You are free like the air
I am not yours or anyone else’s

(Verse 2: Maluma, Shakira)

How you tempt me when you move
Those sexy movements always entertain me
You know how to manipulate me with your hips
I don’t know why you keep me on the waiting list

They say that I go around doing whatever I want
That I go out every night, that I keep you suffering
That in this relationship, I am the boss
Don’t listen to that bad press

(Bridge: Shakira, Maluma)

Why, why do I tell you anything, if they whisper in your ear
Don’t go fixing what is not broken

And like a madman, I keep coming after you, dying for you
Tell me what’s in it for me, baby (What?)

You are utter, utter blackmail
Utter, utter blackmail
It’s always your way
I love you even if I don’t want to

You are utter, utter blackmail
Utter, utter blackmail
You are free like the air
I am not yours nor anyone else’s

(Post-Chorus: Shakira)

Eh-eh-eh, anyone else’s
Eh-eh-eh, anyone else’s
Eh-eh-eh, anyone else’s
With my body, an egoist

Pretty boy
