Para que no me engañes
Para que no te vayas de mí
En busca de otro amante
Voy a cerrar las puertas y así
Conseguiré guardarte
Intentaré que seas feliz
Lo siento mucho, mujer
No quiero perderte
Estoy amarrado a ti
Compréndelo, amor
No puedo dejarte ir
Sé que no soy el mejor
Que soy un fracaso
Por eso te guardo aquí
Compréndelo, amor
Compréndelo
Y es que la vida es así
O tú o yo
Y es que la vida es así
O tú o yo
Y es que la vida es así
O tú o yo
Y es que compréndelo, amor
O tú o yo
Voy a intentar que veas en mí
A el hombre de tus sueños
Voy a buscar un modo de ser
Que nunca te de miedo
Voy a cerrar las puertas y así
Conseguiré guardarte
Intentaré que seas feliz
Para que no te escapes
Lo siento mucho, mujer
No quiero perderte
Estoy amarrado a ti
Compréndelo, amor
No puedo dejarte ir
Sé que no soy el mejor
Que soy un fracaso
Por eso te guardo aquí
Compréndelo, amor
Compréndelo
Y es que la vida es así
O tú o yo
Y es que la vida es así
O tú o yo
Y es que la vida es así
O tú o yo
Y es que compréndelo, amor
O tú o yo
