El Virus Del Amor

I’ve known you since you were a kid, never paid much attention
You were a bit of an ugly duckling with braces and jeans
Until that summer at the beach, watching you bask in the sun
My words fell silent, my heart started racing

Uh, I got sick with love, sick from seeing you
You’re growing in me like a tumor
Sick with love, sick from seeing you
And your antibiotic kisses will heal my heart
Virus of love

All those rehearsals in front of the living room mirror were useless
I turned into a lackey, a sad friend and confessor
One after another, they charmed you, and you played at love
Like a shadow, I watched you and pitied my pain

Uh, I got sick with love, sick from seeing you
You’re growing in me like a tumor
Sick with love, sick from seeing you
And your antibiotic kisses will heal my heart
Virus of love

But one fine day, a Casanova stole your heart
Once again, you found yourself alone, and my shoulder cradled your sobs
I said: Hey, if it comforts you, I really believe in love
You gave me a kiss and a promise, and today I wrote you this song

Uh, I got sick with love, sick from seeing you
You’re growing in me like a tumor
Sick with love, sick from seeing you
And your antibiotic kisses will heal my heart
Virus of love
