Contigo No
David Bustamante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
SE,QUE TU AMOR A MI NO ME CONVIENE
QUE CONMIGO SOLO TE ENTRETIENES
SI,NO SE QUE HACER SIN TI
SE,QUE TU CUERPO ME ESTA HACIENDO DAÑO
Y CONTIGO SUFRO EL ENGAÑO
Y CUANTO MENOS ME DAS
TE QUIERO CADA VEZ MAS
Y MAS ME CUESTA VIVIR SIN TI
POR QUE TU BOCA ES COMO UN GAS QUE CONTAMINA
Y NO SE QUE HACER
QUE TU MIRADA A MI ME ESTA MATANDO
Y MIENTRAS MUERO VIVO ENAMORADO
PRESA DE ESTA MALDICION
QUE ES TU AMOR
QUE ES LO QUE TU TIENES, NIÑA DIMELO
DIME QUE MANTIENE ESTE CORAZON EN PIE
SIN VER,SUFRIENDO POR QUERER DE TU PIEL
QUE SABRA LA GENTE LO QUE QUIERO YO
QUE TODOS ME DICEN QUE CONTIGO NO
MUJER,CRUEL,TU BOCA ES AGUA Y YO TENGO SED
SE,QUE TU AMOR A MI NO ME INTERESA
QUE EN TUS LABIOS SOLO SOY TU PRESA
Y,A MI ME GUSTA ASI
PUEDE SER,QUE CONTIGO SOLO PIERDA EL TIEMPO
Y QUIZAS MAÑANA ME ARREPIENTA
Y ES MEJOR,VOLARME SIN ADIOS
Y CUANTO MENOS ME DAS
TE QUIERO CADA VEZ MAS
Y MAS ME CUESTA VIVIR SIN TI
POR QUE TU BOCA ES COMO UN GAS QUE CONTAMINA
Y NO SE QUE HACER
QUE TU MIRADA A MI ME ESTA MATANDO
Y MIENTRAS MUERO VIVO ENAMORADO
PRESA DE ESTA MALDICION
QUE ES TU AMOR
QUE ES LO QUE TU TIENES,NIÑA DIMELO
DIME QUE MANTIENE ESTE CORAZON EN PIE
SIN VER SUFRIENDO POR QUERER DE TU PIEL
QUE SABRA LA GENTE LO QUE QUIERO YO
QUE TODOS ME DICEN QUE CONTIGO NO
MUJER,CRUEL,TU BOCA ES AGUA Y YO TENGO SED
DIME QUE QUIERES DE MI
DIME QUE QUIERES DE MI
QUE SERA,QUE ME DAS TU VENENO A MI ME VA A MATAR
QUE SERA,QUE ME DAS QUE SIN TI YO YA NO QUIERO MAS
QUE SERA,QUE ME DAS QUE ME CUESTA TANTO RESPIRAR
QUE SERA,QUE ME DAS LO QUE DIGAN DE TU VIDA
ME DA IGUAL
NO TE PARES NO TE PARES DALE
NO TE PARES QUE ESTE AMOR ME VALE
NO TE PARES NO TE PARES DALE
NO TE PARES QUE ESTE AMOR ME VALE
NO TE PARES NO TE PARES DALE
NO TE PARES QUE ESTE AMOR ME VALE
NO TE PARES NO TE PARES DALE
NO TE PARES QUE ESTE AMOR ME VALE
QUE ES LO QUE TU TIENES,NIÑA DIMELO
DIME QUE MANTIENE ESTE CORAZON EN PIE
SIN VER SUFRIENDO POR QUERER DE TU PIEL
QUE SABRA LA GENTE LO QUE QUIERO YO
QUE TODOS ME DICEN QUE CONTIGO NO
MUJER,CRUEL,TU BOCA ES AGUA Y YO TENGO SED
NO TE PARES NO TE PARES DALE
NO TE PARES QUE ESTE AMOR ME VALE
NO TE PARES NO TE PARES DALE
NO TE PARES QUE ESTE AMOR ME VALE
NO TE PARES NO TE PARES DALE
NO TE PARES QUE ESTE AMOR ME VALE
