Everything started when I saw you walk by
I felt something so beautiful that I can't explain
You caught me and I liked you even more
Oh, what a cute little ranch girl, hi, how are you?
I'm letting you know right now
that with pretty words
it's not enough for you to win me over
I'm not one of those easy ones
like those little girls
that I've always seen you walk around with
And what if I bring you roses?
They're gonna wither on me anyway
And what if I bring you a serenade?
My dad's gonna chase you off anyway
Tell me how you want me to love you
This dude will do it your way
Ask with that beautiful little mouth
that for you I'd do anything
Tell me what else you want me to say
if my friends don't like you
and my family a bit less
What'll they think if one day they see us?
Ay, ay, ay
I'm not that bad like they say out there
Ay, ay, ay
I'm no fool to let myself get fooled
Oh, Angelita, quit being so mean
And you quit being such a flirt
And what if I bring you roses?
They're gonna wither on me anyway
And what if I bring you a serenade?
My dad's gonna chase you off anyway
Tell me how you want me to love you
This dude will do it your way
Ask with that beautiful little mouth
that for you I'd do anything
Tell me what else you want me to say
if my friends don't like you
and my family a bit less
What'll they think if one day they see us?
Ay, ay, ay
I'm not that bad like they say out there
Ay, ay, ay
I'm no fool to let myself get fooled

SONG MEANING

Imagine a lively town square at sunset: Christian spots Ángela walking by and is instantly smitten. He tries the classic tactics—flowers, a serenade, sweet compliments—but Ángela is no ordinary rancherita. She sets her boundaries right away, reminding him (and us) that real love takes more than pretty words and wilt-prone roses.

Behind the playful back-and-forth lies a modern twist on old-school Mexican courtship. Christian sings, “Dime cómo quieres que te quiera” (“Tell me how you want me to love you”), promising he will adapt to her rules. Ángela counters with confidence, pointing out that her friends and family are not easily won over. Their duet becomes a fun tug-of-war between persistence and self-respect, highlighting the balance between tradition (serenatas, parental approval) and contemporary empowerment. The result is a catchy ranchera-pop anthem that celebrates flirting, boundaries, and the thrill of a challenge.
