Tonto Corazón
Los Acosta Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Que sera de mi
Lejos de tu amor
Porque a donde voy
Solo pienso en ti
Tonto corazón
La dejaste ir
Pídele perdón
Deja de sufrir

Sé que tú la quieres
Mira no lo niegues
Todas las mujeres
No te importan ya
Sé que tú no la quieres
De celos te mueres
Porque no la tienes
A tu lado mas

Que sera de mi
Cometí el error
De decirte adiós
Sin una razón
Tonto corazón
Ven y ayúdame
Dile que esta vez
Todo va a cambiar

Se que tu la quieres
Mira no lo niegues
Todas las mujeres
No te importan ya
Sé que tú no la quieres
De celos te mueres

Porque no la tienes
A tu lado mas
