Ay No Digas Lyrics
Chris Montez

Lyrics
Ay no digas que tu no quieres
que tu no quieres
quieres mi amor.
Because I love you I only want you
oh
how I need you
that is for sure.
If I had sunshine
I'd give it to you
if I had fortunes
I'd do the same.
I'd give the stars to nobody but you
and
most of all
I'd give you my name.
We've been through all kinds of weather
Now is no time to go 'way.
If we could just stay together
then ev'rything will be okay.
We've been through all kinds of weather
Now is no time to go 'way.
If we could just stay together
then ev'rything will be okay.
Ay no digas que tu no quieres.
Ay no digas que tu no quieres
que tu no quieres
quieres mi amor.
Because I love you I only want you
oh
how I need you
that is for sure.
We've been through all kinds of weather
Now is no time to go 'way.
If we could just stay together
then ev'rything will be okay.
We've been through all kinds of weather
Now is no time to go 'way.
If we could just stay together
then ev'rything will be okay.
Ev'rything be okay.
