Maná Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eres la novia de mi amigo
Tus ojos buscan verme a mí
No me sonrías por favor, oh, no, no, no
En los momentos de estar solos
Tus labios tienen, sed de mí
Mas tus caricias son de él
Ya no me mires más así
Ya no me mires por favor
Eres la novia de mi amigo
Ya no me mires más así
Perdámonos entre la hierba
Atrás del parque, en la arboleda, ah, ah-ah-ah
Tú ya comienzas a llorar
Y me comienzas a estrechar
Y sin embargo, yo te adoro
¿Qué tiene él que no tenga yo?
¿Qué tiene él que no tenga yo?
Lo único que tiene es a ti, a ti
¿Qué tiene él que no tenga yo?
¿Qué tiene él que no tenga yo?
Lo único que tiene es a ti, a ti
Ya no me mires más así
Ya no me mires por favor
Eres la novia de mi amigo
Ya no me mires más así
Ya no me mires, te lo suplico
Ya no me mires más así
¿Qué tiene él que no tenga yo?
¿Qué tiene él que no tenga yo?
Lo único que tiene es a ti, a ti
¿Qué tiene él que no tenga yo?
¿Qué tiene él que no tenga yo?
Lo único que tiene es a ti, a ti
