¿Bueno?
Soy yo mi amor
Antes de que me cuelgues no mas dejame explicar que...

No me vuelvas a llamar
Tratando de explicar
Que lo que ví no era cierto
Vergüenza debes tener
Si me quieres convencer
Que eres fiel y eres sincero

Oh! Te ví con ella y no puedes negar
Que eran tus labios los que la besaban
Canalla!
No te sirvió de nada
El disimular
Que sólo charlaban
No mientas más

Si me vuelves a llamar
Yo te vuelvo a colgar
Ya me cansé de escuchar
Escusas y más mentiras
No me vuelvas a llamar
No te voy a perdonar
Otra oportunidad
No te la doy
Si no vales la pena

Vergüenza debes tener
Si me quieres convencer
Que eres fiel y eres sincero

Oh! Te ví con ella y no puedes negar
Que eran tus labios los que la besaban
Canalla!
No te sirvió de nada
El disimular
Que sólo charlaban
No mientas más

Si me vuelves a llamar
Yo te vuelvo a colgar
Ya me cansé de escuchar
Escusas y más mentiras
No me vuelvas a llamar
No te voy a perdonar
Otra oportunidad
No te la doy
Si no vales la pena

Noooooo!

Selena y los Dinos

Selena y Los Dinos (English: Selena and the Guys) was the band in which Grammy-Award-winning Tejano music singer Selena performed, until her death on March 31, 1995. Selena fronted the band since 1980, started by her father Abraham Quintanilla, Jr.. When Selena was signed with EMI Latin, EMI president Jose Behar told Selena that the world wanted Selena, not Los Dinos. Selena then began releasing her studio albums under her own logo title Selena and not Selena y Los Dinos. Before Selena was signed with EMI, the band had sold more than 80,000 copies in the state of Texas alone, with the Tejano labels GP, Cara Records, Manny, and Freddie Records before 1989. more »
