"Te tengo muerta de amor por mí" is what the expression wants to convey.

"Te tengo muerta" or "Esta muerta conmigo" means that she likes you very much.

Really? Wow. Must be very idiomatic. - Goyo, Feb 25, 2011
Could it also mean that he likes you rather than she or would you need to change muerta into muerto. - kenwilliams, Feb 25, 2011
I agree with this answer. That's the way we use this in Argentina. - 00e657d4, Feb 25, 2011
Esta muerta conmigo sounds kinda She's dead alongside me. - gone, Feb 25, 2011

I think it means "I'm dead to you."

I voted for necrofede because he seems to know something about the idiomatic use that I don't know. Translating it literally it's just a weird sentence, so he's probably right. - Goyo, Feb 25, 2011
Goyo, this phrase stems from Morirse de amor, which we also have in English. - gone, Feb 25, 2011
