Ayer me dijiste que tu me querías
Pero todo fue mentira
Ayer me dijiste que tu me querías
Pero todo fue mentira

Ayer tu heriste la vida mía
Y que grande fue la herida
Ayer tu heriste la vida mía
Y que grande fue la herida

Si tu no me quieres dime lo que sientes
Pero dímelo de frente
Si tu no me quieres dime lo que sientes
Pero dímelo de frente

Que a mi lo que me da rabia es eso
De no saber lo que sientes
Que a mi lo que me da rabia es eso
De no saber lo que sientes

Y si tu me pagas con eso
Yo ya no te doy más de esto amor
Y si tu me pagas con eso
Yo ya no te doy más de esto amor

Y si tu me pagas con eso
Yo ya no te doy más de esto amor
Y si tu me pagas con eso
Yo ya no te doy más de esto amor

Ayer me dijiste que tu volverías
Pero todo fue mentira
Ayer me dijiste que tu volverías
Pero todo fue mentira

Ayer tu dijiste mil tonterías nena
Que acabaron con mi vida
Ayer tu dijiste mil tonterías
Que acabaron con mi vida

Y si tu me pagas con eso
Yo ya no te doy más de esto amor
Si tu me pagas con eso
Yo ya no te doy más de esto amor

Y si tu me pagas con eso
Yo ya no te doy más de esto amor
Si tu me pagas con eso
Yo ya no te doy más de esto amor
No no
Yo ya no te doy más de esto amor
Si tu me pagas con eso
Ya no te doy mas de esto

Te di lo que tuve solo por un beso
Y no conseguí ni eso
Te di lo que tuve solo por un beso
Y no conseguí ni eso

Mentira mentira mentira mentira
Todo fue mentira
Mentira mentira mentira mentira
Todo fue mentira

Y si tu me pagas con eso
Yo ya no te doy más de esto amor
Si tu me pagas con eso
Yo ya no te doy más de esto amor

Si tu me pagas con eso
Yo ya no te doy más de esto amor
Si tu me pagas con eso
