Yo sé que tienes un nuevo amor
Sin embargo, te deseo lo mejor
Si en mí, no encontraste felicidad
Tal vez, alguien más te la dará 

Como la flor (como la flor)
Con tanto amor (con tanto amor)
Me diste tú, (me diste tú)
Se marchitó (se marchitó)
Me marcho hoy (me marcho hoy)
Yo sé perder (yo sé perder)

Pero, ay, cómo me duele 
Ay, cómo me duele 

Si vieras cómo duele perder tu amor
Con tu adiós, te llevas mi corazón
No sé si pueda volver a amar
Porque te dí todo el amor que pude dar 

Como la flor (como la flor)
Con tanto amor (con tanto amor)
Me diste tú, 
Se marchitó 
Me marcho hoy 
Yo sé perder 

Pero, ay, como me duele 
Ay, como me duele 

Como la flor (como la flor)
Con tanto amor (con tanto amor)
Me diste tú, 
Se marchitó 
Me marcho hoy 
Yo sé perder 

Pero, ay, como me duele 
Ay, como me duele 
Ay, como me duele
