Verse 1

I can't live separated from you

And I can't forget the way you talk

But I can't live so far from you

You're the ideal, we're a perfect match

Chorus 1

I need you like the air that I breathe

Like a footprint on the path, like sand to the coral

I need you

Like the sky to the stars and winter to the cold

I need you like a petal to its rose

Like kisses to its mouth and like the sea to its salt

I need you

Everything is vain and fleeting if you're not with me

Verse 2

And I try to know what you expect from me

Whatever you ask for I give you, to make you happy

But I can't live separated from you

You're the ideal, we're a perfect match

Chorus 2

I need you like the air that I breathe

Like a footprint on the path, like sand to the coral

I need you

Like the sky to the stars and winter to the cold

I need you like a petal to its rose

Like kisses to its mouth and like the sea to its salt

I need you

Everything is vain and fleeting if you're not

Verse 3

Now you see

I live in love

With your beautiful mouth

With your tender eyes like lilies

Now you see

So excited

Or: So full of hope

That even the sun is happy

And celebrates if you give me your heart

Chorus 3

I need you like the air that I breathe

Like a footprint on the path, like sand to the coral

I need you

Like the sky to the stars and winter to the cold

I need you like a petal to its rose

Like kisses to its mouth and like the sea to its salt

I need you

Everything is vain and fleeting if you're not with me

Outro

I need you

Like the sky to the stars and winter to the cold

I need you like a petal to its rose

Like kisses to its mouth and like the sea to its salt

I need you

Everything is vain and fleeting if you're not with me

SONG MEANING

Luis Miguel’s “Te Necesito” is an all-out love proclamation that feels as warm and essential as sunshine on your skin. Throughout the song, the singer tells his partner she is indispensable, comparing his need for her to air, starlight, petals, and even the salt in the sea. Each image paints love as something natural and unavoidable, suggesting that separation would be as impossible as winter without cold or a rose without its bloom.

Beneath the poetic comparisons lies a simple yet powerful message: life loses its color when the loved one is absent. The verses promise complete devotion—“what you ask, I’ll give”—while the chorus repeats the heartfelt confession “Yo te necesito,” driving home how deeply intertwined their lives are meant to be. It is an uplifting pop anthem that celebrates mutual destiny, turning everyday elements of nature into vivid reminders that true love makes everything else feel temporary and empty by comparison.
