Dame Tu Amor
A.B. Quintanilla III Lyrics

Mi amor I'm not sure of the right words to say
Maybe these simple words will do bes to best explain
What I feel in my heart
What I feel more each day

How to make you see
How to let you know
How to say how to say how I love you so
With words you understand

Words that get right through to you heart
Here's a place to start

Chorus:

Tu Amor I will always be

Tu Amor means the world to me

Estaras siempre en mi corazon

You;re the one in my soul

And I live for tu amor, tu amor

Mi Amor love you more with each look in your eyes

Maybe these simple words will do best to best describe

What I feel in my heart

What I'll feel for all time

How to make you see

How to let you know

How to say how to say how I need you so

With words you understand

Words that get right through to your soul

Words that will let you know

Repeat Chorus

You're the one that I need in my arms

Believe me these words I say are words

that come straight from my heart

How do I make you believe

Nothing means as much

as what you mean to me

Repeat Chorus
