Huwag Kang Malikot
Gary Granada · Other Songs - Gary Granada
Huwag kang malikot, huwag kang malikot
Kung ayaw mong tayo'y lumubog
Huwag kang malikot, huwag kang malikot
Kung ayaw mong tayo ay mahulog
Kung ayaw mong tayo ay malunod
Huwag kang malikot, huwag kang malikot
Bakit di ko mapigil ang aking sarili
Bakit di ko mapigil ang aking kamay
Bakit di ko mapigil ang aking daliri
Bakit parang ito'y may sariling buhay
Kung ayaw mong tayo'y mabangga
Huwag kang malikot, huwag kang malikot
Kung ayaw mong tayo'y mapisa
Huwag kang malikot, huwag kang malikot
Kung ayaw mong tayo'y mabalian
Kung ayaw mong tayo'y mapilayan
Huwag kang malikot, huwag kang malikot
Bakit di ko mapigil ang aking damdamin
Bakit di ko mapigil ang aking mata
Bakit di ko mapigil ang aking ngipin
Bewang, tuhod, balikat, siko't paa
Kung ayaw mong tayo'y maligaw
Huwag kang malikot, huwag kang malikot
Kung ayaw mong tayo'y matuklaw
Huwag kang malikot, huwag kang malikot
Kung ayaw mong tayo'y mabitawan
Kung ayaw mong tayo'y maiwanan
Huwag kang malikot, huwag kang malikot
Laging sabi sa akin ng aking tatay
Ako raw ay manang-mana sa aking ina
Laging sabi sa akin ng aking nanay
Ako raw ay manang-mana sa aking ama
Kung ayaw mong tayo'y sumaya
Huwag kang malikot, huwag kang malikot
Kung ayaw mong tayo'y sumigla
Huwag kang malikot, huwag kang malikot
Kung ayaw mong tayo ay tumawa
Kung ayaw mong tayo ay mahawa
Huwag kang malikot, huwag kang malikot
