Otra luna nueva y yo te quiero
Mucho más que tres lunas atrás
Te quiero mucho más de lo que puedo
Te quiero aunque decirlo esté de más
Yo te quiero

El mundo está al revés y yo te quiero
Quererte me hace ser alguien mejor
Te quiero a veces más de lo que quiero
Te quiero aunque a veces cause dolor
Yo te quiero

No voy a rebuscar en la academia
Palabras para ver quién me las premia
Si este mundo cabe en dos palabras
Te quiero

Te quiero mientras dure que te quiera
Te quiero porque es la mejor manera
De burlarme de tus enemigos
Te quiero porque así es como te quiero
Te quiero y sabes bien que me refiero
A no quererte más porque no puedo

Pensé que era importante que supieras
Que te quiero y nada más

Ya fui tipo duro como acero
De esos que se guardan la emoción
"Yo primero muerto que un te quiero"
Decía antes de hacerte esta canción
Te quiero

Te quiero sólo porque a ti te quiero
Que sería de mi si no es así
Como dijo Pablo a sangre y fuego
Como digo yo te quiero así
Yo te quiero

No voy a rebuscar en la academia
Palabras para ver quién me las premia
Si este mundo cabe en dos palabras
Te quiero

Te quiero mientras dure que te quiera
Te quiero porque es la mejor manera
De burlarme de tus enemigos
Te quiero porque así es como te quiero
Te quiero y sabes bien que me refiero
A no quererte más porque no puedo

Pensé que era importante que supieras
Que te quiero y nada más

Te quiero mientras dure que te quiera
Te quiero porque es la mejor manera
De burlarme de tus enemigos
Te quiero porque así es como te quiero
Te quiero y sabes bien que me refiero
A no quererte más porque no puedo

Pensé que era importante que supieras
Que te quiero y nada más

Te quiero sólo porque a ti te quiero
Te quiero mucho más de lo que puedo
