Verse 1
I knew about tears
I knew about loneliness
That is what they taught me
Since I was a little girl
I saw life through pain
Always with little love
And too late I understood
This isn't the life for me
Verse 2
Imagine that God had other plans for me
Oh, how do I repay my God?
If this is a dream, I'll keep sleeping
How do I repay my God?
Prechorus 1
If this is a dream, I'll keep sleeping
It's finally my turn, I deserve love
And even if everyone's jealous, don't be silly
It's finally my turn, to be nothing but loving
Chorus 1
I want to love you and be loved the way it should be
I want to dance on the beach all night
I've already lived through my bad times, I want to be happy
The way it should be, the way it should be
I want to love you and be loved the way it should be
I dream of his love and in his arms I want to sleep
Be nothing but loving the way it should be
The way it should be
Prechorus 2
If this is a dream, I'll keep sleeping
It's finally my turn, I deserve love
And even if everyone's jealous, don't be silly
It's finally my turn, to be nothing but loving
Chorus 2
I want to love you and be loved the way it should be
I want to dance on the beach all night
I've already lived through my bad times, I want to be happy
The way it should be, the way it should be
I want to love you and be loved the way it should be
I dream of his love and in his arms I want to sleep
Be nothing but loving the way it should be
The way it should be

amorosa — loving / affectionate

Amorosa describes someone who gives and expresses love, often with a warm and affectionate nature. In the song, Kali Uchis sings about wanting to be "nada más que amorosa" and to love and be loved, making this distinctive adjective capture her transformation from a painful past to a life filled with love.

Kali Uchis opens with a childhood spent learning sadness: "Yo sabía de lágrimas" (I knew about tears) and "Eso me enseñaron desde chiquitita" (that's what they taught me since I was a little girl). She grew up "siempre con poco amor" (always with little love), and only late did she decide "No es la vida para mí" (this isn't the life for me).

Then the song turns. "Imagínate que Dios tenía otros planes para mí" (imagine that God had other plans for me), she sings, and asks "¿Cómo le pago a mi Dios?" (how do I repay my God?). The chorus is her claim on a gentler life: "Por fin es mi turno, yo merezco amor" (it's finally my turn, I deserve love), dancing on the beach all night and being loved "como debe ser" (the way it should be). The title phrase repeats until it sounds less like a wish and more like a promise she's keeping to herself.
