Suavemente, bésame
Que yo quiero sentir tus labios
Besándome otra vez

Suavemente, bésame
Que yo quiero sentir tus labios
Besándome otra vez

(Suave) bésame, bésame
(Suave) bésame otra vez
(Suave) que yo quiero sentir tus labios
(Suave) besándome otra vez
(Suave) besa, besa
(Suave) bésame un poquito
(Suave) besa, besa, besa,
(Suave) bésame otro ratito

(Pequeña, hechate pa' 'ca)

Cuando tu me besas
Me siento en el aire
Por eso cuando te veo
Comienzo a besarte
Y si te despegas,
Yo me despierto
De ese rico sueño,
Que me dan tus besos
Suavemente
(Bésame, que yo quiero sentir tus labios)
Besando me otra vez
Suavemente ese coro!
(Bésame)
Es la cosa (que yo quiero sentir tus labios)
Besando me otra vez
Bésame suavecito,
Sin prisa y con calma
Dame un beso bien profundo, que me llegue al alma
Dame un beso mas, que en mi boca cabe
Dame un beso despacito, dame un beso suave

Suavemente
(Bésame, que yo quiero sentir tus labios)
Besándome otra vez
Suavemente ese coro
(Bésame) es la cosa (que yo quiero sentir tus labios)
Besando me otra vez

(Suave) tus labios tienen
(Suave) ese secreto
(Suave) yo beso y beso
(Suave) y no lo encuentro
(Suave) un beso suave
(Suave) es lo que anhelo
(Suave) un beso tuyo
(Suave) es lo que quiero
Dámelo

(Suave) yo me pregunto
(Suave) que tienen tus besos
(Suave) trato de escaparme
(Suave) y me siento preso
(Suave) besa, besa, bésame un poquito
(Suave) besa, besa, besa, bésame otro ratito
Dámelo

(Suave) bésame, bésame
(Suave) bésame otra vez
(Suave) que yo quiero sentir tus labios
(Suave) besándome suavemente,
(Suave) tiernamente
(Suave) cariñosamente
(Suave) dulcemente,
(Suave) bésame mucho
Sin prisa y con calma
Dame un beso hondo que me llegue al alma
Acércate, acércate no tengas miedo
Solamente yo te digo, una cosa quiero
(Suave) bésame
Pequeña, cógelo (suave)
