The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two individuals who are deeply infatuated with each other, to the point where their connection becomes almost a necessity. The repeated phrase 'mal acostumbrao' (badly accustomed) signifies how the protagonists have become so used to each other's presence and touch that they find it hard to function without it.
The song opens with a direct question, 'Dime qué sientes' (Tell me what you feel), setting the stage for an exploration of emotions and thoughts that arise when the lovers are together. The lyrics describe a cycle of intense physical and emotional connection, followed by a longing that borders on addiction.

Phrases like 'Llena de mariposas' (Full of butterflies) and 'Se me está partiendo el coco' (My head is splitting) illustrate the physical and emotional turmoil they experience. The song also touches on the idea of hidden intentions and the thrill of the chase, as seen in 'Intenciones escondidas detrás de tu sonrisita' (Hidden intentions behind your little smile). This adds a layer of complexity to the relationship, suggesting that there is more beneath the surface than just physical attraction.
' Mal Acostumbrao' is a celebration of the highs and lows of a passionate romance, capturing the essence of being so deeply connected to someone that it becomes both exhilarating and overwhelming.
