Fool
ÏÄÆæÀ­Shakira Lyrics

Tell me lies
Please deceive me by telling me untruthful statements

Slap me on the face
Physically strike me on the cheek with your hand

Just to improvise
In order to spontaneously create something new

Do something really clever
Perform an exceedingly intelligent action

That'll make me hate your name forever
So that I will have strong feelings of animosity towards you indefinitely

You might swear
It is possible that you would make a solemn promise

You'd never touch a lady
You would never make physical contact with a woman

Well, let me say
Allow me to express my opinion

You're not too far from maybe
It is probable that you will change your mind in the future

Every day you find
On a daily basis, you discover

New ways to hurt me
Innovative methods to cause me emotional or physical pain

But I can't help it
I have no control over my actions

If I'm just a fool
If I am foolish or gullible

Always having my heart
My emotions are always centered around

Set on you
Focused on you

'Til the time
Until the moment

You start changing the rules
You alter the agreements or expectations

I'll keep chasing the soles of your shoes
Despite your mistreatment, I will continue to pursue you

God resigned from hearing my old story
Divine intervention no longer listens to my repeated tale of woe

Every night I'm paying hell for glory
My daily suffering is a form of self-inflicted punishment

I'm embarrassed but I'm much more sorry
While I feel shame, my regret is much stronger

All this pain begins to feel like pleasure
The prolonged agony has become strangely enjoyable

With my tears you'd make a sea of desert
I cry so much that my tears could fill a vast expanse of arid land

Salt my wounds
Aggravate my emotional pain

And I'll keep saying thank you
Despite the hurt, I will express gratitude

I can't help it baby
I cannot control my feelings, my dear

Fool
I am a simpleton
