In Romeo Santos' song El Papel, Pt. 1 (Versión Amante), he sings about the difficulty of forgetting a past love and the need to lie to the current partner. He encourages the woman to tell her partner what he needs to hear, to act as if she has a talent for lying, and to cry if he gets upset. He also encourages her to keep their secrets and to tell her partner that she is faithful. He promises to take their secrets to the grave and to act as if he is just a friend if her partner ever finds out.

Baby, I can't forget you
I miss you so much
But I need to lie
Never tell him about us
Verse 1
Talk to him, tell him what is necessary, put lying into practice
As if it were a talent you are goddess when pretending
Tell him that ours was friendship
Passenger friends, which you gave yourself to respect
Call him, if you see him upset tell him that he is the best
The love of your life, your king and your champion
He has a genius difficult to rule
Fierce domesticated, you tame him good actress
Chorus 1
Lie to him, you tame him with the gift of your tenderness
Quiet, your secrets I take to the grave
There is no doubt that if I want to be your owner I end up losing
But if he asks, I was a simple comforting friend.
Bridge
Babe
Who's your daddy?
You are a hottie
Verse 2
Cover up, and if he finds evidence you play a role for him
In the end what you say the deluded believes it
Expertise of a great woman
You can teach how to be unfaithful
Chorus 2
Lie to him, you tame him with the gift of your tenderness
Quiet, your secrets I take to the grave
There is no doubt that if I want to be your owner I end up losing
But if he asks, I was a simple comforting friend.
Verse 3
It doesn't matter if he wants to see me
Fear not I am not so cruel
A gentleman has no memory
Let's do the paper
Outro
Let me find out
She's our little lie
And I'm not going to say anything
Fall asleep quietly
Secret safe with me
Tell him you don't even like me, because you're faithful
And I give you word, I'll take it to the grave
She's our little lie
And I'm not going to say anything
Fall asleep quietly
Secret safe with me
Tell him you don't even like me, because you're faithful
And I give you a word
Shh, I'll take it to the grave
