Objection
Shakira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But all the damage she's caused isn't fixable
Every twenty seconds you repeat her name
But when it comes to me you don't care
If I'm alive or dead
So objection, I don't wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
But you don't even bother
Objection, I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way, I've got to get away
Next to her cheap silicone I look minimal
That's why in front of your eyes, I'm invisible
But you gotta know small things also count
You better put your feet on the ground
And see what it's about
So objection, I don't wanna be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother
I'm tied to the angles of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way, no, no, no, no
I wish there was a chance for you and me
I wish you couldn't find a place to be
Away from here
This is pathetic and sardonic
It's sadistic and psychotic
Tango is not for three
Was never meant to be
But you can try it, rehearse it
Or train like a horse
But don't you count on me
Oh, don't you count on me, boy
Objection, I don't wanna the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother
Objection, I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way, I've got to get away
Get away
Get away, eh, eh, eh
Get away
Ah-ha-ho, ah-ha-ho, aha
Ah-ha-ho, ah-ha-ho, aha
Uh-uh
I'm falling apart in your hands again
Get away
I'm falling apart in your hands again
Get away
Get away
The lyrics to Shakira's song Objection express frustration and desperation in a love triangle. The song begins by acknowledging the seductive qualities of the third person involved in the triangle, but also highlights the damaging effects they have had on the main character's relationship with their partner. Despite this, the partner seems to be fixated on the third person and neglects their partner's well-being.
The chorus contains the main message of the song - the singer objects to being the exception to their partner's infatuation with the third person. They refuse to be ignored and mistreated in their relationship, and they are tired of feeling like they are falling apart in their partner's hands again and again. The singer wishes they could escape the situation and have a chance for a genuine connection with their partner without interference.
The song's bridge emphasizes the impossibility and absurdity of the situation. Tango is meant for two, and trying to include a third party is doomed to fail. The singer is not willing to participate in this dance any longer and asserts their independence from this toxic love triangle.

It's not her fault that she's so irresistible
She can't help being attractive
But all the damage she's caused isn't fixable
Her actions have caused irreversible harm
Every twenty seconds you repeat her name
You can't stop thinking about her
But when it comes to me you don't care
Your feelings for me are not genuine
If I'm alive or dead
You don't show concern for my well-being
So objection, I don't wanna the be the exception
I object to being treated differently than others
To get a bit of your attention
Just to get your notice
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
I don't expect anything in return for my love, I'm not controlling
But you don't even bother
You don't put in any effort
Objection, I'm tired of this triangle
I object to being a part of this complicated situation
Got dizzy dancing tango
This is all becoming too much
I'm falling apart in your hands again
You're hurting me and I can't take it
No way, I've got to get away
I need to leave and get out of this toxic situation
Next to her cheap silicone I look minimal
Compared to her, I seem unimportant and insignificant
That's why in front of your eyes, I'm invisible
You don't see me or care about me
But you gotta know small things also count
Even the little things matter
You better put your feet on the ground
You need to be more realistic
And see what it's about
Understand the situation
I wish there was a chance for you and me
I wish we could make this work
I wish you couldn't find a place to be
I wish you couldn't be with her
Away from here
Away from this situation
This is pathetic and sardonic
This situation is ridiculous and sarcastic
It's sadistic and psychotic
It's cruel and insane
Tango is not for three
This situation is complicated and wrong
Was never meant to be
It's not natural or healthy
But you can try it
You can keep doing this if you want
Rehearse it
Practice it
Or train like a horse
Work at it like a laborer
But don't you count on me
Don't rely on me to be a part of this
Oh, don't you count on me, boy
I won't be a part of this
Get away, get away
Leave this situation
Eh, eh, eh, get away
Go, go, go
Ah-ha-ho, ah-ha-ho, aha
Background vocals
Ah-ha-ho, ah-ha-ho, aha

Uh-uh
Negative response
I'm falling apart in your hands again
You're hurting me again

This is my favorite Shakira song ever. I like the way she mixes pop, rock, tango and a fast verse. She’s a genius

Dude... this is dog shit, she used to make good music, like "donde estan los ladrones" this crap simply grabs music that already existed, the battery is boring only playing the same 3 notes and guitar only plays like 5 notes, the lyrics are simply stupid.

And she adds jazz and a little ballet
@zahirjunejo7490
She is a popstar with the spirit of a rockstar. A complete musician.
