I told him "love me", take me in your arms
And I have no one left
Don't let your scent permeate my sheets if you abandon me
I'm not the one you think I am
No jerk has touched me
Except you, gentleman
No, no one has touched me

You found me sitting all alone
As if in a void
I looked sad and that's just as well
You have strong shoulders
A little comfort
You talk to me and you learn how much I've suffered
I'm a child of war
Who hides her feelings thousands of feet underground

Cocaine, cocaine took my family
I'm an illegal, an illegal in Miami

I told him "love me", take me in your arms
And I have no one left
Don't let your scent permeate my sheets if you abandon me
I'm not the one you think I am
No jerk has touched me
Except you, gentleman
No, no one has touched me

And you drank my words
When I talked to you about them
You saw my parents, you drank my words
My brother and I were happy, so very happy
One day fire took our men
Because others decided it
And so that gringos can get high on drugs
We sacrifice destinies

Cocaine, cocaine took my family
I'm an illegal, an illegal in Miami

I told him "love me", take me in your arms
And I have no one left
Don't let your scent permeate my sheets if you abandon me
I'm not the one you think I am
No jerk has touched me
Except you, gentleman
No, no one has touched me
