Adueño comes from the verb adueñarse, which means 'to take possession of' or 'to make something one's own'. It's a strong and somewhat formal verb that conveys a sense of claiming ownership or control.
In the context of the song, the singer uses it to express a deep, almost possessive connection with the other person: "Me adueño de ti de tu forma de ser" (I take possession of you, of your way of being). It highlights the intensity of their relationship, going beyond just friendship to a profound emotional and physical claim.
"Quién Dijo Amigos" is about two people who call themselves "just friends" while acting like much more. The singer admits he knows her too well, her body, her habits, the way she comes back to him after a night out, and asks who really believes they are just friends when there is this much intimacy between them.
Underneath the flirting there is real hesitation too. The second half of the song shows the singer unsure whether old disappointments and broken promises are what keep her holding back from calling this what it actually is. He keeps trusting her and waiting for her to decide, even while staying in the same "just friends" arrangement that started the song.
