Oral Fixation 2

How do you do?

Lyrics by Shakira
Music by Shakira, L. Christy, S. Spock, G. Edwards

Forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who have trespassed against us
Give us this day our daily bread, daily bread, daily bread

In cello et in terra fiat voluntas tua
Gloria Spiritui Sancto

What language do you speak, if you speak at all?
Are you some kind of freak, who lives to raise the one who fall?
Hey could you tell me why the cat fights the dog?
Do you go to the mosque or the synagogue?

And if our fates have all been wrapped around your finger
And if you wrote the script, then why the trouble makers?

Chorus:
How do you do?
How does it feel to be so high?
And are you happy? Do you ever cry?
You've made mistakes, well that's ok 'cause we all have
But if I forgive yours, will you forgive mine?

Hey do you feel our pain
And walk in our shoes?
Have you ever felt starved?
Or is your belly always full?
How many people die and hurt in your name?
Hey does that make you proud, or does it bring you shame?

And if our fates have all been wrapped around your finger
And if you wrote the script, then why the trouble makers?

Chorus:
How do you do?
How does it feel to be so high...

Forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who have trespassed against us
Give us this day our daily bread, daily bread, daily bread

Arabic:
Sameh Zoonoobee Allah (Forgive My Sins Oh Lord)
Ya Allah (Oh Lord)

Hebrew:
S'lach lanu (forgive us)
Mechilah (forgiveness)

Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, amen!

Chorus:
How do you do?
How does it feel to be so high...

Don't Bother

She’s got the kind of look that defies gravity
She’s the greatest cook
And she’s fat free

She’s been to private school
And she speaks perfect French
She’s got the perfect friends
Oh isn’t she cool

She practices Tai Chi
She'd never lose her nerve
She's more than you deserve
She's just far better than me

Hey, hey

So don’t bother
I won’t die of deception
I promise you won’t ever see me cry
Don’t feel sorry

And don't bother
I’ll be fine
But she’s waiting
The ring you gave to her will lose its shine
So don’t bother, be unkind

I’m sure she doesn’t know
How to touch you like I would
I beat her at that one good
Don’t you think so?

She's almost six feet tall
She must think I'm a flea
I’m really a cat you see
And it's not my last life at all

Hey, hey

So don't bother
I won't die of deception
I promise you won't ever see me cry
Don't feel sorry

Don't bother
I’ll be fine
But she's waiting
The ring you gave to her will lose its shine
So don’t bother, be unkind

For you, I'd give up all I own
And move to a communist country
If you came with me, of course
And I'd file my nails so they don't hurt you
And lose those pounds, and learn about football
If it made you stay, but you won't, but you won't

So don't bother,
I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine
Promise you won't ever see me cry

And after all I'm glad that I'm not your type
Promise you won't ever see me cry

Don’t bother,
I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine, I'll be fine
Promise you won’t ever see me cry

And after all I'm glad that I'm not your type
Promise you won't ever see me cry

NO TE MOLESTES

Ella tiene ese aspecto que le gana a la gravedad
Es la mejor en la cocina
Y además es libre de grasa

Estudió en escuela privada
Y habla el francés perfecto
Tiene los amigos perfectos
Ella es toda perfecta, ¿no es cierto?

Practica el Tai Chi
Así que nunca perdería los nervios
Ella es más de lo que tú mereces
Y es mucho mejor que yo

Pero no te molestes
No moriré de decepción
Te prometo que nunca me vas a ver llorar
No te sientas mal por mí
Y no te molestes
Voy a estar bien
Pero ella esta esperándote
Y el anillo que le regalaste va a perder su brillo
Así que no te molestes y sé descortés

Estoy segura de que no sabe tocarte como lo haría yo
En eso le gano y le gano bien, ¿no crees?

Mide casi 6 pies
Debe pensar que soy una pulga
Pero en realidad soy un gato
Y ésta no es mi última vida

Así que no te molestes
No moriré de decepción
Te prometo que nunca me vas a ver llorar
No te sientas mal por mí
Y no te molestes
Voy a estar bien
Pero ella está esperándote
Y el anillo que le regalaste va a perder su brillo
Así que no te molestes y sé descortés

Por ti cedería todos mis bienes
Y me iría a vivir a un país comunista
Si vinieras conmigo por supuesto
Y me limaría las uñas para que no te lastimen
Y perdería esas libras de más
Y aprendería de fútbol
Si eso hiciera que te quedaras
Pero no lo harás, Pero no lo harás

Así que no te molestes…
Voy a estar bien, Voy a estar bien. . .
Te prometo que nunca me vas a ver llorar
Después de todo me alegro que no sea tu tipo
Te prometo que nunca me vas a ver llorar

Illegal

Featuring Carlos Santana
Lyrics by Shakira
Music by Shakira and Lester Mendez

Who would have thought that you could hurt me
The way you've done it
So deliberate, so determined
And since you have been gone
I bite my nails for days and hours
And question my own questions on and on

So tell me now, tell me now
Why you're so far away
When I'm still so close

Chorus:
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm Sorry"
You said you would love me until you die
And as far as I know you're still alive, baby
And you don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm Sorry"
I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive
A woman's heart

I tried so hard to be attentive
To all you wanted
Always supportive, always patient
What did I do wrong?
Been wondering for days and hours
It's clear it isn't here where you belong

Anyhow, anyway
I wish you both all the best
I hope you get along

Chorus:
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm Sorry"...

Chorus:
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm Sorry"

Open heart, open heart
It should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart

Open heart, open heart
It should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart

The day and the time

Featuring Gustavo Cerati
Lyrics by Shakira and Pedro Aznar
Music by Shakira, Gustavo Cerati and Luis F. Ochoa

Who's to say
That we always have to agree
I think we both can take this one mistake
Like some kind of amnesty

Why to love and with such brutality
We're compatible
But maybe a bit too much
That's our ambiguity

I've cried a thousand storms
I've blown away the clouds
The heartbeat of the sun
Is racing mine
And listen how
My heart is waiting

Chorus:
This is the day and the time
I wanna believe
That we may still have a chance
We took a leap in the dark
But I can see now
That shadows have turned to light

Well we know how ephemeral life is
Disillusion takes what illusion gives
What's the use of make believe

The needles of the clock
Are moving right to left
Pretend we never heard the things we said
Like we've been deaf
And start all over

Chorus:
This is the day and the time...

The heartbeat of the sun
Is racing mine
And listen how

Chorus:
This is the day and the time...

Animal City

Lyrics by Shakira
Music by Shakira and Luis F. Ochoa

Why do all my friends now want to be your lovers
your family got bigger when they thought you were rich
And now like maniacs
They scratch your back
Even when it doesn't itch

I want to figure it all
I want to figure it all out
I want to save you from
Save you from all that's vain
Save you, from the things that cause us pain

Chorus:
Cause it's an animal city
It's a cannibal world
So be obedient, don't argue
Some are ready to bite you

It's an animal city
It's a cannibal world
So be obedient, don't argue
Some are ready to rip you right off

They believe you now have everything you wanted
And once you have become a star you have no right to bitch
But someday when you fail
They'll put you on sale
And buy you by the inch

But you're the real deal
And real is your middle name
You know sometimes I feel
We got to earn every breath we take, baby
never mind the rules we break

Chorus:
Cause it's an animal city...

Cannibal world
So be obedient, don't argue
Some are ready to bite you my love

Dreams for plans

Lyrics by Shakira
Music by Shakira and Brendan Buckley

Once upon a time you and I
When we were green and easy
Fresh as limes and happy as a Sunday sky
There was nothing we could sell or buy
'Cause all we really needed
Was our barefeet and a pair of wings to fly

What do you think darling?
Have we lived too much too fast?
And have you, have you felt the melancholy, darling,
Wishing the time hadn't passed?

Chorus:
Can you tell me how it used to be?
Have we missed our chance?
Have we changed our hopes for fears
And our dreams for plans?

Can you tell me how it used to be
When we really cared?
And when love was on our side
On our side

I remember all the times before
When we could spend our living
Staring at the ceiling, lying on the floor
Our vocabulary wasn't broad
And I spoke so little English
That the word "stress" would sound like something odd

What do you think darling?
Have we lived too much too fast?
And have you, have you felt the melancholy, darling,
Wishing the time hadn't passed?

Chorus:
Can you tell me how it used to be?

What is your guess darlin'?
have I lived too much too fast?
So if you, if you ever come and find me cryin'
Now you know, now you know why

Can you tell me how I used to be?
Have I missed our chance?
Have I changed my hopes for fears
And my dreams for plans?

Can you tell me how it used to be
When we really cared?
And when love was on our side
On our side

Hey you

Lyrics by Shakirs/Music by Shakira and Tim Mitchell


I'd like to be the dream you'd never share
To be your boss and to be your maid
Your shaving cream, your razorblade
The buttons of your shirt, your favourite underwear

I'd like to be the only thing on earth that makes you cry
The only thing that makes you happy

Soon you will see that no one else but me
Can take you this high, and soon you'll make your last name mine

Chorus:
Hey you, I'm makin' an offer that
No one could every refuse
Don't play the adament
Don't be so arrogrant
Can't you see I'm fallin' for you?

Hey you, I'm makin' an offer that
No one would dare to refuse
Don't play the adament
Don't be so arrogrant
Let me in, let me be your muse tonight
Tonight, Tonight

I'd like to be the first white hair upon your head
To be your cherry pie, your daily bread
I'll cook for free, I'll make your bed
If I can know the things you thought and never said

I'd like to be the owner of the zipper on your jeans
And that thing that makes you happy
I'd like to be the beginning, the end
And in the between, and be your slave and be your queen

Chorus:

Hey you, I'm makin' an offer....

Chorus:
Hey you, I'm makin' an offer

Let me in, let me be your muse, be your muse tonight

Your embrace

Lyrics by Shakira/Music by Shakira and Tim Mitchell


Tell me what's the use
of a 24 inch waist
If you don't touch me?

Tell me what's the use again
of being on TV every day
If you don't watch me?

This house is full
Of emptiness
My closets full of dresses
That I'll never wear

My life is full of people
But you are my best friend
My best friend

Chorus:
Hope it isn't too late to say I love you
Hope it isn't too late that say
That without you this place
Looks like London, it rains everyday
Don't you know it babe, I'm only half a body
Without your embrace

Let me tell you what
My heart is an unfurnished room
Any suggestions?
Don't have to tell you more than that
Cause no one knows me like you do
Without exception

This house is full
Of emptiness
My closets full of dresses
That I'll never wear

My life is full of people
But you are my only friend
My best friend

Chorus:
Hope it isn't too late to say I love you..

Costume makes the clown

Lyrics by Shakira/Music by Shakira & Brendan Buckley


Told you felt lucky with my humble breasts
Well I don't
Said that I was sure the world was gonna change
Well I'm not
Swore I didn't give a damn 'bout what they say
But I do
Promised that I never lie to you

But look at how
I'm taking the make-up off my face
Before I forget my own features

Chorus:
Cause I'm not here to let you down
But the costume makes the clown
That's just life's anatomy
Don't be so hard, don't be so hard on it
It's your turn now to cheat on me

The promises I made went down the sink
But I really hope I didn't hurt your self esteem
I'm not a virgin, but I'm not the whore you think
And I don't always smell like strawberries and cream

So look at how
I'm takin' the makeup off my face
Before I forget who I am

Chorus:
Cause I'm not here to let you down...

Chorus:
Cause I'm not here to let you down...

Something

Lyrics by Shakira/ Music by Shakira and Luis F. Ochoa

Quand tu me prends dans te bras
Quand je regare dans te yeux
Je vois qu'un dieu existe
Ce n'est pas dur d'y croire

Before I met you I wasn't terribly lucky
Every prince charming lost charm after 12
But then you came and made the past look funny
Put my old sadness to sleep on a shelf

If this was meant to be
Don't condemn me to be free
And even if we never marry
I will always love you, baby, childishly

Chorus:
Cause something
You've got something I can't resist
Things are what they will be
When I look into your eyes they say to me
That God still exist

And there's something
You've got something I can't resist
Things are what they will be
When I look into your eyes they say to me
That God still exist

You make me believe,
You make me believe

I love the temperature and smell of your body
The shape of your lips
The size of your nose
I love that everything you say is so funny
Plus you're the best kisser that I've ever known

You've seen the way I am
Without make up, without clothes
And you accept me like nobody
And I will always love you baby
With eyes closed

Chorus

French part

And there's something... I believe
And there's something.... I believe
There's something... I believe, I believe

Timor

Lyrics and music by Shakira

It's alright, it's alright
Cause the system never fails
The good guys are in power and the bad guys are in jail

It's alright, it's alright
Just as long as we can vote
We live in a democracy
And that's what we promote
Isn't it, Isn't it?

It's alright, it's alright
If the news says half the truth
Hearing what we want is the secret of eternal youth
It's alright, it's alright
If the planet splits in three
Cause I'll keep selling records and you've got your MTV

Chorus:
If we forget about them don't worry
If they forget about us then hurry
How about a people who don't matter anymore?
If we forget about them, don't worry
If they forget about us, then hurry

How about a people who don't matter anymore?
East Timor. Timor. Timor.

It's alright, it's alright
They don't show it all on TV
So we won't really know it
Just by watching *BC

It's alright, it's alright
For our flag, we die or kill
As long as we don't know
We'd do it just to pay their bills
Let's keep tanning while it's sunny
They'll risk our hides to make their money
Now don't you find that funny

Chorus:
if we forget about them don't worry...
