Verse 1

Because to love me

I gave you a thousand reasons

I'm going to give you double

But for you to hate me

And wishing you had never met me

I'm going to be your worst punishment

I'm going to be the stone in your path

I gave you my life, and you didn't give a damn

When I loved you the most

You left without giving me explanations

I was the best of your loves

Today, the worst of your mistakes

Chorus 1

You're going to loathe me because I swear I'm going to cling on

I'm going to be your ex, the toxic one

The unmentionable

Or: The one who shouldn't be named

A nightmare, a toothache

That every time you mention me

It'll be to curse out my mom and my grandma

And you're going to pay me back even for the sighs you snatched from me

And your little heart

And, while I'm at it, I'm even going to poison your dog

And you can't imagine what scorpion you messed with

In your damn life, you won't find peace until you die

Or until you kill me

And nothing but Grupo Firme, listen up

That's how it sounds, my buddy Carin León

And get this straight, baby

Bad weed never dies, man

Chorus 2

You're going to loathe me because I swear I'm going to cling on

I'm going to be your ex, the toxic one

The unmentionable

A nightmare, a toothache

That every time you mention me

It'll be to curse out my mom and my grandma

And you're going to pay me back even for the sighs you snatched from me

Your little heart

And, while I'm at it, I'm even going to poison your dog

And you can't imagine what scorpion you messed with

In your damn life, you won't find peace

Until I die

Or until

Or until what, or how far, babe

Or until you kill me

Your buddy Carin León and Grupo Firme, just like that

For the drinks

alacrán — scorpion

Alacrán literally translates to "scorpion", but in Mexican Spanish, it is often used metaphorically to describe a dangerous or intensely troublesome person.

In the lyrics, the singer warns his ex by saying, "no te imaginas qué alacrán te echaste" (you have no idea what kind of scorpion you brought upon yourself). This vivid idiom means she has invited a massive, venomous problem into her life by crossing him.

Ever had a breakup so bad you wanted to get even? Well, El Tóxico takes that feeling and turns it up to eleven. This isn't a sad song about heartbreak; it's a hilariously over-the-top revenge plan. The singer feels he was the perfect boyfriend, declaring, 'Fui el mejor de tus amores' [I was the best of your loves], but his partner left without any explanation. Now, he's decided to give her twice as many reasons to hate him as he ever gave her to love him. His goal is to become her 'peor castigo' [worst punishment].

And he gets really specific about his plans. He vows to be 'tu ex, el tóxico / El innombrable' [your ex, the toxic one / The unnameable one], a nightmare, and even a toothache. The threats escalate from annoying to completely unhinged, promising she'll never find peace until one of them is dead. He even makes the wild threat, 'hasta el perro voy a envenenarte' [I'm even going to poison your dog]! It's a darkly funny song about embracing the role of the villain after getting your heart broken.
