Me besó la boca
Me besó los labios
Y a mi me provoca
Que me bese tanto

Yo se que tus besos me matan
Yo se que tus besos me matan
Yo se que tus besos me matan, canalla

Yo se que tus besos me matan
Yo se que tus besos me matan, canalla
Yo se que tus besos me matan

Cojé mi cintura
Me va acorralando
Apretó mi boca
Me besó bailando

Yo se que tus besos me matan
Yo se que tus besos me matan
Yo se que tus besos me matan, canalla
Yo se que tus besos me matan
Yo se que tus besos me matan, canalla
Yo se que tus besos me matan

Bésame de prisa
Bésame despacio
Si te quedan ganas
Sígueme besando

Yo se que tus besos me matan
Yo se que tus besos me matan
Yo se que tus besos me matan, canalla
Yo se que tus besos me matan

Yo se que tus besos me matan, canalla
