Ya me canse, que no me acaricies ni con la mirada 
De ser en tu cama una tercera almohada 
De ver que el futuro se va haciendo flaco 
De saber que la vida no es más que un rato 
Y sentirme mujer porque lavo los platos 

Ya me canse, de decir que te amo 
Y ver que estas dormido 
De hacerte una cena especial y ver que te has ido 
De ser una ama de casa y madamas 
Con la diferencia del siempre y el jamás 
Y hasta sentirme feliz cuando te vas 

Detrás de mi ventana 
Veo pasar la mañana en espera de la noche 
Me destapo el escote para que este te provoque tu fallida ansiedad 

Detrás de mi ventana 
Veo pasar el destino disfrazado de asesino
Burlándose a carcajadas de este ingrato concubino 
Detrás de mi ventana se me va la vida, contigo pero sola 

Ya me canse, de ser para ti como cualquier camisa 
Que plancha y se arruga al compás de tu risa 
De ser un objeto más en tu casa 
Como un trapo, una silla, una simple taza
Y que tu ni te enteres de que es lo que pasa 

Detrás de mi ventana 
Veo pasar la mañana en espera de la noche 
Me destapo el escote para que este te provoque tu fallida ansiedad 

Detrás de mi ventana 
Veo pasar el destino disfrazado de asesino
Burlándose a carcajadas de este ingrato concubino 
Detrás de mi ventana se me va la vida, contigo pero sola sola
