Por Tí
Eddie González Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me haces Tanto sufrir
Si yo nunca te negado
Si yo nunca te negado
Mi pobre Corazón
Por que
Dudas de mi amor
Si lo único que quiero
Es amar te mas y mas
Con el alma hecho a pedazos
Poco a poco voy muriendo
No te da pena mujer
Olvidar te lo quisiera
Pero al verte me arrepiento
No te puedo ya olvidar
