Te amo, te amo
She says to me
I hear the pain in her voice
Then we danced underneath the candelabra
She takes the lead
That's when I saw it in her eyes, it's over
Then she said, "Te amo", then she put her hand around me waist
I told her, "No", she cried, "Te amo"
I told her, "I'm not gonna run away, but let me go"
My soul is awry
Without asking why, I said, "Te amo"
Wish somebody'd tell me what she said
Don't it mean I love you?
Think it means I love you
Don't it mean I love you?
Te amo, te amo, she's scared to breathe
I hold her hand, I got no choice, uh
Pulled me out on the beach, danced in the water
I start to leave
She's begging me and asking why it's over
Then she said, "Te amo", then she put her hand around me waist
I told her, "No", she cried, "Te amo"
I told her, "I'm not gonna run away, but let me go"
My soul is awry
Without asking why, I said, "Te amo"
Wish somebody'd tell me what she said
Don't it mean I love you?
Think it means I love you
Don't it mean I love you?
Listen, we can dance
But you gotta watch your hands
Watch me all night, I'm moving under the light because I understand
That we all need love
And I'm not afraid
To feel the love, but I don't feel that way
Then she said, "Te amo", then she put her hand around me waist
I told her, "No", she cried, "Te amo"
I told her, "I'm not gonna run away, but let me go"
My soul is awry
Without asking why, I said, "Te amo"
Wish somebody'd tell me what she said
Don't it mean I love you?
Think it means I love you
Don't it mean I love you?
I think it means I love you, I love you
Te amo, te amo
Don't it mean I love you?
