Intro

I don't know what you think

You have me spinning

You leave and come back, it messes with my head

And I don't know what it is that makes me feel so bad

I want to taste you again

Chorus 1

And for a little bit

I take my heart out and leave it to you

To see if that way I make you feel the same

This thing that hits me when I see you

That hits me, that hits me, that hits me

And for a little bit

I saw you and I fell again like an idiot

If I had already forgotten you, I can't explain it

This madness that hits me when I see you

That hits me, that hits me, that hits me

Verse 1

If you're already doing fine, babe, why did you come close?

I had gotten used to life without you

Now if the cell rings, I think that you called

And I'm here thinking, I can't even sleep

I don't know what it is, what it is, what it is

You're in another league

Babe, there's no need to say it

And this feels the same as the first time

You were crazy about me and now it's the other way around

I don't know what it is, what it is, what it is

You're in another league

Babe, there's no need to say it

Chorus 2

And for a little bit

I take my heart out and leave it to you

To see if that way I make you feel the same

This thing that hits me when I see you

That hits me, that hits me, that hits me

And for a little bit

I saw you and I fell again like an idiot

If I had already forgotten you, I can't explain it

This madness that hits me when I see you

That hits me, that hits me, that hits me

Outro

One love, one love

One love, one love, one love, yeah

SONG MEANING

“PENDEJO” is Enrique Iglesias’ playful self-roast. The Spanish word pendejo loosely means “fool,” and Enrique uses it to admit how ridiculous he feels whenever an old flame pops back into his life. He thought he had moved on, yet one glimpse of her and he is spinning in circles again, handing over his heart “for a little while” and hoping she will finally feel what he feels. The lyrics capture that dizzy mix of attraction and frustration: the late-night phone anxiety, the memories that hit like the very first time, and the realization that she is now “in another league.”

At its core, the song is a lively reminder that love can make even the most confident person act silly. With a pulsing beat and the chant of “one love,” Enrique turns emotional chaos into a dance-floor confession, inviting listeners to laugh at their own moments of romantic weakness while they sing along.
