Song information
Written by band members Leoni and Paula Toller, the lyrics of "Como Eu Quero" introduces the listener to a manipulative female character which tells a potential lover that she will only date him if he is able to change his personality, because this change will let her upgrade what she considers bad in him. According to Caetano Veloso, he wrote the hit "No Enche" ('Don't bother me') as a response to the manipulative character of "Como Eu Quero".
