The lyrics of the song revolve around love and the longing for the affection of a particular person. The song starts by expressing that the singer cannot live without the love of this person. The line "No viviré, si me falta su amor" translates to "I won't live if I lack your love." The singer believes that their happiness is solely dependent on this person and nothing else matters in comparison. The chorus repeats the phrase "Lo que quiero yo de ti" which means "What I want from you."
