Acércate más, y más, y más Pero mucho más Y bésame así, así, así Como quieras tú Pero besa pronto Porque estoy sufriendo, ¿no lo estás tú viendo? Que lo estoy queriendo Sin quererlo tu Acércate más, y más, y más Pero mucho más Y bésame así, así, así Como quieras tú ¿Es que tal vez pretendes Tu desesperarme? ¡Ven por favor a darme Ese beso tuyo que te pido yo!
