Cuando Tu No Estas

When You're Not Around
(When you're not around, I can't exist)
(When you're not around, I can't exist)
(When you're not around)
(When you're not around)
I don't need an associate's degree to know that by your side
I found happiness (no, no-no, no, no-no)
I don't need a law firm when I feel trapped
If you know how to set me free (no, no-no, no, no-no)
I don't need to go into a church or understand religion
To know that there are demons who want to kill this love
I don't need a witch doctor or a Santeria priest
Nor even to look into a crystal ball (no, no, no)
If I see my future in your gaze (no, no, no)
And if you're not around, I know I can't continue
Because life is hard and the night is dark
And the world gets colder when you're not around (yeah, yeah-yeah)
Life is hard and the night is dark
And the world gets colder when you're not around
When you're not around (when you're not around)
I don't know how to live (when you're not around)
I go crazy (when you're not around)
I know I am dying (when you're not around)
When you're not around, I know I can't exist
Your love is the only thing that makes me live
When you kiss me, I have to resist
I can climb all the way to heaven on your body
(I die) I die when you and I are apart
(I live) I only live if you are by my side
(I want) I want to be trapped in your arms
(I feel) I feel that heaven has given me your love
I don't need to find treasures or accumulate money
If there are riches and I have security next to you (yeah, eh-yeah)
I no longer care what the world says about me being crazy with passion
I know they don't understand what I feel, they've never had a love
I don't need a witch doctor or a Santeria priest (no, no-no)
Nor even to look into a crystal ball (no, no-no)
If I see my future in your gaze (no, no-no)
And if you're not around, I know I can't continue
No, because life is hard and the night is dark
And the world gets colder when you're not around (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Life is hard and the night is dark
And the world gets colder when you're not around
When you're not around (when you're not around)
I don't know how to live (when you're not around)
I go crazy (when you're not around)
I know I'm dying
The love I feel cannot be kept hidden
Higher than the sky, deeper than the sea
Beyond time, into eternity
I'll be with you, you won't have to look for me
I will always love you, I'll never erase you
If you stay with me, I know you're going to enjoy it, yeah, yeah, hey
Never ever doubt what I feel for you
Never worry again about what's best for you
Never again doubt what I feel for you
I'll always be by your side, always close to you
(When you're not around)
(When you're not around)
When you're not around, I go crazy (when you're not around)
There is no joy or dancing
There's no reason for my dancing (when you're not around)
Life is dark if you're not here (when you're not around)
I'm sure I'll die
If I awaken one day and I don't find myself near you (when you're not around)
It’s just that life is dark, and I don't know how to live
(When you're not around)
(Ow!)
(When you're not around)
(When you're not around)
(When you're not around)
(Hee-hee, ooh-ooh, ooh, hee-hee)
(Ooh!)
