Lyrics
Siempre que te pregunto
Que cuándo, cómo y dónde
Tú siempre me respondes
Quizás, quizás, quizás
Y así pasan los días
Y yo desesperado
Y tú, tú, contestando
Quizás, quizás, quizás
Estás perdiendo el tiempo
Pensando, pensando
Por lo que más tú quieras
Hasta cuándo, hasta cuándo
Y así pasan los días
Y yo desesperado
Y tú, tú contestando
Quizás, quizás, quizás
Y así pasan los días
Y yo desesperado
Y tú, tú contestando
Quizás, quizás, quizás
Estás perdiendo el tiempo
Pensando, pensando
Por lo que más tú quieras
Hasta cuándo, hasta cuándo
Y así pasan los días
Y yo desesperado
Y tú, tú contestando
Quizás, quizás, quizás
Quizás, quizás, quizás
Quizás, quizás, quizás
