LYRICS
A mi me vale
Cualquier excusa por un rato más
Cualquier pretexto para regresar
Si me da un poco de vida me vale
Y no me importa
Te juro que ya no me importa
Qué lado de mi cama quiera
Con tal de que mi cama escoja
Y no me importa
Te juro que ya no me importa
Que me despierte a media noche
Con tal de que compartir deshoras
Y no me importa, no importa
Que todo se rompa al final
Poder haberlo tenido me vale
A mi me vale
Cualquier excusa por un rato más
Cualquier pretexto para regresar
Si me da un poco de vida me vale
A mí me vale
No importa cuando, no importa el lugar
Si nos acorta el espacio, me vale
Si me da un poco de vida me vale
A mi me vale, vale, vale, vale, vale
Me vale
A mi me vale, vale, vale, vale, vale
Me vale
Y no me importa
Desde hace mucho no me importa
Se para el tiempo si te acercas
La vida eterna se hace corta
Y no me importa, no importa
Que todo se rompa al final
Poder haberlo vivido me vale
A mi me vale
Cualquier excusa por un rato más
Cualquier pretexto para regresar
Si me da un poco de vida me vale
A mí me vale
No importa cuando, no importa el lugar
Si nos acorta el espacio, me vale
Si me da un poco de vida me vale
A mi me vale, vale, vale, vale, vale
Me vale
A mi me vale, vale, vale, vale, vale
Me vale
A mi me vale
Cualquier excusa por un rato más
Cualquier pretexto para regresar
Si me da un poco de vida me vale
A mí me vale
No importa cuando, no importa el lugar
Si nos acorta el espacio, me vale
Si me da un poco de vida me vale
A mi me vale, vale, vale, vale, vale
Me vale
A mi me vale, vale, vale, vale, vale
Me vale
A mi me vale, vale, vale, vale, vale
Me vale
A mi me vale, vale, vale, vale, vale
Me vale
Me vale
