Song lyrics
Told you I 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 
I promised that I'd never ever lie to you 

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

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

Promises I made to you went down the sink 
I really hope I haven't harmed 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 taking the make-up of my face 
Before I forget who I am now 

'Cause I'm not here to let you down 
But the costume makes the clown 
It's just life's anatomy, don't be so hard 
Don't be so hard on this 
It's your turn now 
Your turn now 

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

Saledido, I totally agree with you!!

I think Shakira is SO talented and when she writes her songs she just uses all her imagination, and she speaks from her heart without fearing if it'll come out corny or odd. That's what makes her songs so raw and so true.

This song is so cOoL!! I love the breaks betweent he lines!! The music rox!!

I love it....
I love it....
Actully I say that about all her songs, but this song is so special. In "Laundry Service" she sings pop....Well, she is good at pop, she now how a pophit will sound like. But she has always liked the rock music. And that is something you notice, cause man, she now how to sing rock. And she has proved that now.
This girl is talent,I hope everybody already has realized that.....

This is one of my favorite songs on the album. This song really shows how well she knows English now. The guitar part is awesome and the verses are pretty darn sexy. She loves talking about her humble breasts. lol

Moo.

Whoever wrote the lyrics to this got them really wrong..
Or at least a couple things.

Here I'll fix them down here a bit!

"Swore I didn't give a damn about what they say"

"So look at how,
I'm taking the make up off my face"

"That's just life's anatomy
Don't be so hard, don't be so hard on it"

I actually joined this site just to write that.
It annoyed me for some reason. XD

Love this song.
