Illegal Lyrics by Shakira

Oral Fixation Volumes 1 & 2

2006

[Verse 1: Shakira]
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: Shakira]
So tell me now, tell me now
Why you're so far away
When I'm still so close
[Chorus: Shakira]
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
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
[Verse 2: Shakira]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Shakira]
Anyhow, anyhow
I wish you both all the best
I hope you get along
[Chorus: Shakira]
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
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
[Guitar Solo: Carlos Santana]
[Chorus: Shakira]
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
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
[Outro: Shakira]
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
