Don’t Bother
Shakira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
I promise you won't ever see me cry
And after all I'm glad that I'm not your type
I 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
I promise you won't ever see me cry
And after all I'm glad that I'm not your type
Not your type, not your type, not your type
I promise you won't ever see me cry
In the song Don’t Bother, Shakira sings about a man who has moved on from their relationship to be with another woman. Shakira describes the new woman’s qualities in a sarcastic tone as if to say that she’s not impressed. The new woman is described as having a perfect look, education, friends, and talents. However, Shakira consoles herself that the new woman is not as good as she is in everything, as she beats her in passion and intimacy. Shakira tells the man not to bother and that she won’t be deceived by his actions, and that the ring he gave to the new woman will soon lose its shine. Shakira promises to be fine and that he won’t see her cry, and she’s grateful that she’s not his type after all.

For you, I'd give up all I own
I am willing to sacrifice everything for you
And move to a communist country
I am willing to change my entire life to be with you
If you came with me, of course
I would do anything to be with you, including moving to a different country
And I'd file my nails so they don't hurt you
I would do anything to please you and make you happy, even self-care
And lose those pounds, and learn about football
I am willing to change myself to fit your preferences, even if it means losing weight and learning about something I'm not interested in
If it made you stay, but you won't, but you won't
I am willing to do all of this but I know it won't change your mind about leaving
And after all I'm glad that I'm not your type
Looking back, I am grateful we are not compatible and that things did not work out
Not your type, not your type, not your type
I am not who you want or need in your life

Prácticamente Shakira le cantó a un momento de su vida que acontecería en el futuro.

Quizás aunque dicen que Dela Rua le fue infiel y esta canción se la dedica a él. 😢
