Hypocrite

You tell me to sleep well

But you don't come sleep with me

You say you wanna make it official

But you won't take the risk

You say you love me but love me in hiding

Your way of loving bothers me

It puts my feelings to the test

You won't kiss my lips if people are watching

I can't define what we got

You won't get off the fence

Or get off of me

Open the parachute and brace for the fall

For when I give up

And you won't come down from your heels

Or get off of me

Try buying a tear-proof foundation

'Cause tears don't warn when they'll fall

What's missing here

Is a little something for me to quit

Let whoever wants to claim you

Let whoever wants

And that's what's missing here

Is a little something for me to quit

Let whoever wants to claim you

Your way of loving bothers me

It puts my feelings to the test

You won't kiss my lips if people are watching

I can't define what we got

You won't get off the fence

Or get off of me

Open the parachute and brace for the fall

For when I give up

And you won't come down from your heels

Or get off of me

Try buying a tear-proof foundation

'Cause tears don't warn when they'll fall

You won't get off the fence

Or get off of me

Open the parachute and brace for the fall

For when I give up

And you won't come down from your heels

Or get off of me

Try buying a tear-proof foundation

'Cause tears don't warn when they'll fall

What's missing here

Is a little something for me to quit

Let whoever wants to claim you

Let whoever wants

And that's what's missing here

Is a little something for me to quit

Let whoever wants to claim you

SONG MEANING

“Hipócrita” is a fiery ultimatum set to melody. Marília Tavares calls out a partner who loves to promise the moon but is terrified of showing that love in daylight. He tells her to sleep well yet never stays the night, swears he will make it official yet refuses to take the risk. In other words, he is stuck “on the fence” — or, as the Portuguese line goes, não desce do muro. Marília’s voice drips with both frustration and sass as she exposes this double life and labels it for what it is: hypocrisy.

The song turns into a playful but pointed challenge. She warns him to “open the parachute” because the fall will be hard when she finally gives up. She even jokes that he should invest in tear-proof makeup, since tears never send a calendar invite before they fall. The repeating hook “assume quem quer te assumir” drives the message home: only someone brave enough to claim you deserves your love. “Hipócrita” is empowerment wrapped in catchy Sertanejo-Pop, reminding listeners to demand authenticity and stop settling for half-hearted affection.
