"Illegal" by Shakira featuring Carlos Santana (Shakira/Lester Mendez)

1st Verse

Who would've 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

Pre-Chorus

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

Chorus

(But) 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

2nd Verse

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

Pre-Chorus

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

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

Tag

An open heart, an open heart
It should be illegal to deceive
A woman's heart
An open heart, an open heart
It should be illegal to deceive
A woman's heart



  "Your Embrace" by Shakira (Shakira/Tim Mitchell)

1st Verse

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

Pre-Chorus

This house is full of emptiness
My closet's 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
Hope it isn't too late to say
That without you this place
Looks like London
It rains every day
Don't you know it, babe
I'm only half a body
Without your embrace

2nd Verse

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

(Repeat Pre-Chorus)

(Repeat Chorus Twice)



  "Underneath Your Clothes" by Shakira (Shakira/Lester Mendez)

1st Verse

You're a song
Written by the hands of God
Don't get me wrong
'Cause this might sound to you a bit odd
But you own the place
Where all my thoughts go hidin'
Right under your clothes
Is where I'll find them

Chorus

Underneath your clothes
There's an endless story
There's the man I chose
There's my territory
And all the things I deserve
For being such a good girl, honey

2nd Verse

'Cause of you
I forgot the smart ways to lie
Because of you
I'm running out of reasons to cry
When the friends are gone
When the party's over
We will still belong to each other

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

Bridge

I love you more than all that's on the planet
Movin' talkin' walkin' breathin'
You know it's true
Oh, babe, it's so funny
You almost don't believe it
As every voice is hangin' from the silence
Lamps are hangin' from the ceilin'
Like a lady tied to her manners
I'm tied up to this feeling

(Chorus Out)



"Wherever, Whenever" by Shakira (Shakira/Gloria M. Estefan)

1st Verse

Lucky you were born that far away
So we could both make fun of distance
Lucky for I love a foreign land
For the lucky fact of your existence

2nd Verse

Baby, I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
Never could imagine there were only
Ten million ways to love somebody

1st Pre-Chorus

Le do le le le le, le do le le le le
Can't you see
I'm at your feet

Chorus

Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there, and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear

Thereover, hereunder
You'll never have to wonder
(A love for both from under)
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear

3rd Verse

Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
To run for cover when I need it
And these two eyes that for no other
The day you leave will cry a river

2nd Pre-Chorus

Le do le le le le, le do le le le le
At your feet
I'm at your feet

(Repeat Chorus)

3rd Pre-Chorus

Le do le le le le, le do le le le le
Think out loud
Say it again
Le do le le le do le
Tell me one more time
That you're really lost in my eyes

Final Chorus

Whenever, wherever
We're meant to be together
I'll be there, and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear

Thereover, hereunder
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel

(Repeat Final Chorus)
