Lyrics
Solo pienso en él
Desde que lo vi
De otro chica es
Y me gusta a mi
Yo quiero su amor
Y el ya tiene a quien quererSe que no esta bien
Que no puede ser
Pienso en su amor
Que nunca alcanzare
Yo que puedo hacer
Si el ya tiene a quien quererY juntos paseando los veo
Y pasan cerca de mi
Yo sé, que tonto es mi llanto
Y es tonto, que yo llore por élY mi tonto amor
No puedo olvidar
Y solo olvidare
Si puedo encontrar
Un muchacho igual
Que solo me quiera
A miY juntos paseando los veo
Y pasan cerca de mi
Yo sé, que es tonto mi llanto
Y es tonto, si lloro por elY mi tonto amor
No puedo olvidar
Y solo olvidare
Si puedo encontrar
Un muchacho igual
Que solo me quiera
A mi
