No lo va a resistir mi corazon
tener que vivir sin tu querer
tu lo sabes muy bien
no lo quieres aceptar
que solo a ti mi amor se amar

soy un hombre que sufre enamorado
todo por culpa de tu querer

no quieres entregarme todo tu cariño
y apunto de morir en mala condicion

pido auxilo estoy muriendo de amor
pido auxilio que triste es mi situacion
pido auxilio yo sin ti estoy muerto vivo
pido auxilio porque tu no estas conmigo

la vida no me va a importar
si tu no me llegas amar
alegrias en mi corazon
que nunca mas regresaran
porque si no estas a mi lado
asta el aire me ha de faltar
no soportare tu ausencia
mi existencia se acabara

pido auxilo estoy muriendo de amor
pido auxilio que triste es mi situacion
pido auxilio yo sin ti estoy muerto vivo
pido auxilio porque tu no estas conmigo
pido auxilo y solo me puedo salvar
pido auxilio si tu me llegas amar

la vida no me va a importar

pido auxilio yo sin ti estoy muerto vivo
pido auxilio porque tu no estas conmigo
