Truth Or Dare
Shakira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How dare, how dare you.
How dare to you to be there,
Just watching when everybody is having a blast.
Wavesounds, spiralling
Nobody is watching so just take me out.
Because I heard that you like to watch
But tonight, Itґs the night, come closer, come closer
Lets take a step in the wildside.
Starlighting and shining
Itґs truth or dare on the dance floor
The time is now, It feels so right
Everybody is watching
Itґs truth or dare on the dancefloor.
Truth or dare on the dancefloor, I dare you to kiss me.
The night is so young and the moon is so bright
The lights are off and Iґm feeeling wild.
Don-t take my home after the midnight tonight
Iґm cinderella dn you my bright shining armor knight.
I dare you, I dare you, I dare you... I dare you to kiss me.
(Those hips are sick miss... Hit the dancefloor Mr. Red one, Afrojack)
Starlighting and shining
Itґs truth or dare on the dance floor
The time is now, It feels so right
Everybody is watching
Itґs truth or dare on the dancefloor.
Starlighting and shining
Itґs truth or dare on the dance floor
The time is now, It feels so right
Everybody is watching
Itґs truth or dare on the dancefloor.
On the dancefloor.
On the dancefloor

recuerden…
#Shakira es una artista desde la era de los cassettes, vendió millones de discos y aquí sigue dándolo todo en la era del streaming.
Shakira está vigente desde los años 90 ya le compitió a artistas grandes en sus tiempos como Fey, Alejandra Guzmán, Paulina Rubio y Thalía.
La rompió en los 2000 y 2010 de la mano de artistas internacionales como Madonna, Christina Aguilera, Britney, Pink, Beyoncé y más tarde Lady Gaga, Rihanna o Katy Perry.
Hoy en día la siguen comparando con las nuevas generaciones, como con Camila Cabello, Karol G o Dua Lipa.
Ella ya hizo de todo y aunque lleguen nuevas figuras femeninas, no hay que olvidar que Shakira sólo hay una y siempre ha estado presente. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Eterna Reina Latina. Nación Shakira.

I dare you!
All of my life, too late
To you showed out with perfect timing
Now, here we are, you rock it
Our fingers are stuck in the socket
It's just a mature, a game
Get ready, we'll do it again
Let's not recover from the hangover
When your eyes got me drunk I was sober
Is it true that you love me?
I dare you to kiss me
With everyone watching
It's truth or dare on the dance floor
La la la la la
Truth or dare on the dance floor
La la la la la oh, oh, oh, oh

Of all the millions, on the planet
You're the one is keeping me on it
You know I like you, and nobody's business
And your are my witness
It's just a mature, a game
Get ready, we'll do it again

When your eyes got me drunk I was sober
Is it true that you love me?
