now its been about a year and still he hasn't shown his face
he hasn't come around, he hasn't even seen his kids
and everyday she prays that one day he'll be coming soon
'cause they keep asking her, Mommy tell us where did daddy go
'cause he wasn't suppose to run and leave just be'cause

so now you've come to me girl 'cause u know hes my bestfriend,

The lyrics to AB Quintanilla III & Kumbia Kings's song Intro narrate a heart-wrenching story of a woman whose husband left her and their children without any valid reason. The singer empathizes with her pain and tries to assure her that she can count on him. He reprimands the husband for abandoning his family, claiming that a real man wouldn't leave his wife and kids behind without a proper explanation. The woman comes to the singer asking for help because he knows her husband, who happens to be his best friend.
However, the singer feels helpless and admits that nothing he does will make the husband change his ways. The wife has already tried everything to make their relationship work, but the man chose to walk away. A year has passed, and he hasn't even seen his children. The woman is struggling to answer her children's questions about their father's whereabouts. The singer's reassurance of support shines through the lyrics as he tells the woman not to worry and that she can always count on him.
