Es que no puede ser que nadie te vio
Que estabas aqui, en la soledad
Es que no puede ser que nadie se fijo
En tu inocencia y tu necesidad

Se notaba que buscabas algo
Algo mas para tu ingenuidad
Lo que de experiencia te llegara
Eso que pudiera darte yo

Al parecer te dare (woohoo)
Un poco mas
A lo mejor y soy yo
Lo que tu necesitas 
Lo que tu necesitas

Cuan mas, me necesitas
Tal cual, aqui estoy yo 
Tal cual, aqui estoy yo

Es que no puede ser que facil llego
La oportunidad de descubrirte aqui
Es que no puede ser lo hermosa que estas
Que no puedo dejarte de admirar

Te miraba bella y transparente
Pero llena de curiosidad
Y yo que no tengo bueno suerte (uh huh uh huh)
Me llego la hora de enseñar

Al parecer te dare
Un poco mas
A lo mejor y soy yo
Lo que tu necesitas
Lo que tu necesitas

Cuan mas, me necesitas
Tal cual, aqui estoy yo
Tal cual, aqui estoy yo

Tu eres el hit
Yo te quiero, te quiero como un hit
Me ha llevado hasta donde mas
Me veras, pude verte como yo te vi bien
Desde luego que te vi para mi
Tal cual te vi luego yo me decidi a quedarme cerca de ti
Esta noche sabras lo que yo te puedo dar si te quedas junto a mi

Al parecer
Al parecer

Cuan mas
Cuan mas
