[English]

I keep thinking about her

I've been drinking since yesterday

The one I want doesn't want anything to do with me

Honestly, I feel like Cupid has it out for me

And the time to forget you just never comes

With every drink, you dig deeper into my heart

And if they tell you that my "I love you" isn't a lie

Just one little kiss from you heals my wounds

Come back

It feels really bad waking up without your touch

Not even a clown could make me smile

That's why I'm in a rush

I want to be called the love of your life again

Come back

To shower you with kisses and little things

You have the keys to my house and my heart

Sorry for calling you

I know you're tired of my life being such a mess

And you don't come back

And the time to forget you just never comes

With every drink, you dig deeper into my heart

And if they tell you that my "I love you" isn't a lie

Just one little kiss from you heals my wounds

Come back

It feels really bad waking up without your touch

Not even a clown could make me smile

That's why I'm in a rush

I want to be called the love of your life again

Come back

To shower you with kisses and little things

You have the keys to my house and my heart

Sorry for calling you

I know you're tired of my life being such a mess

Come back

Come back

[Spanish]

Sigo pensando en ella

Ando tomando desde ayer

La que yo quiero, no quiere nada conmigo

La neta, traigo atravesado a Cupido

Y pa olvidarte nomás no llega la hora

Con cada trago, más te clavas en mi cora

Y si te dicen que un "te amo" no es mentira

Solo un besito tuyo cura mis heridas

Vuelve

Se siente bien gacho despertar sin tus caricias

Ni con un payaso me sacan una sonrisa

Por eso, mi prisa

Quiero volver a llamarme el amor de tu vida

Vuelve

Para llenarte de besitos y de detalles

De mi casa y de mi corazón, tienes las llaves

Sorry que te llame

Sé que estás cansada que mi vida sea un desmadre

Y tú no vuelves

Y pa olvidarte nomás no llega la hora

Con cada trago, más te clavas en mi cora

Y si te dicen que un "te amo" no es mentira

Solo un besito tuyo cura mis heridas

Vuelve

Se siente bien gacho despertar sin tus caricias

Ni con un payaso me sacan una sonrisa

Por eso mi prisa

Quiero volver a llamarme el amor de tu vida

Vuelve

Para llenarte de besitos y de detalles

De mi casa y de mi corazón, tienes las llaves

Sorry que te llame

Sé que estás cansada que mi vida sea un desmadre

Vuelve
