[Verse 1]
Mommy how you been I miss you and my kids,
Being locked up in this cage makes me insane, but I maintain
I have to I love you gotta be out there for you
And with all these years I'm facin man you know I need you
So how you doin hows your life been
I know it's rough without me there but mija you gotta keep strong
Don't do me wrong, I have faith and trust well at least I must
Seeing you with some other vato will make me go nuts
Don't give this up, think about our life we share, drift on these memories and you'll see what I mean to you, you already know what you mean to me,
Your my extasy, never agony, your my corazon I love you baby, but I feel alone, every night I pray for you and my baby's just to let you know

(Chorus)
You'll always keep your love, Just outta my reach
(out of my reach, out of my reach)x2

[Verse 2]
Baby please tell me what the hell is wrong
I haven't heard from you mija it's so long is something wrong
My jifita says you come and gone, are you having problems
Or is your love just turning cold just tell me I'd rather know
Instead of thinking when I come out you won't show you know me and you growin old that's all I want thru all these years we kept our love strong with all these hugs and kisses our life is like a love song
But I keep on wishin that we'll be together and only makin love to you theirs nothing better your my sweetheart in any weather, but why'd you keep your love out of my reach, I need you here with me baby

(Chorus)





You'll always keep your love,Just outta my reach
(out of my reach,out of my reach)x2
