While moving in the fast lane taking the lead

'So I can slide on my Louboutins'
And I'm gonna put on my brand new vans
And take it to the club
I don't give a what, and you don't give a what
We going while out like we just got paid
Looking so fresh in our Rockstarr shades

Cause I came here to dance

Shakira- The One Thing

~*The One Thing*~

Every morning when I woke up

I was stoked up

I was leaving without a purpose

Always jumping all the hurdles

Doing circles

In the dark with a broken compass

I can't explain the way it feels

I could trip on my own words

I make mistakes, that much is clear

But I made it here my love

Yeah I made it here my love

You're the one thing that I got right

It's a fickle world, yeah it's a fickle world

You turn the darkness into sun light

I'm a lucky girl, yeah, I'm a lucky girl

And if I mess up everything someday

I won't hide my head in shame

Cause you're the one thing that I got right

One thing I got right

One thing I got right

Every morning when you wake up

I wanna hold you

I just need to be wrapped around you

It's kinda funny when you think that

You just got here

Now I know I can't live without you

I can't explain the way it feels

I could show the million words

Sometimes it seems like it ain't real

But you're really here my love

Yeah, you're really here my love

You're the one thing that I got right

It's a fickle world, yeah it's a fickle world

You turn the darkness into sun light

I'm a lucky girl, yeah, I'm a lucky girl

And if I mess up everything someday

I won't hide my head in shame

Cause you're the one thing that I got right

Everytime I see your smile

Everytime I hear your laugh

Baby you bring in new sunshine over house

You are the little dream

And since I was a child

My fairytale comes true when I look at you

May not be here forever

But it'll be a long road together

I already know

We're gonna be fine, fine, fine

We're gonna be just fine, fine, fine

You're the one thing that I got right

It's a fickle world, yeah it's a fickle world

You turn the darkness into sun light

I'm a lucky girl, yeah, I'm a lucky girl

And if I mess up everything someday

I would hide my head in shame

Cause you're the one thing that I got right

You're the one thing that I got right

And if I mess up everything someday

I won't hide my head in shame

Cause you're the one thing that I got right

You're the one thing that I got right

One thing that I got right

One thing that I got right

Shakira- You Don't Care About Me

~*You Don't Care About Me*~

I fold your t-shirt
And I stripped your bed
I left you perfect
But there's no appreciation

I listened sweetly to your sour tone
I loved you only
But there's no reciprocation

Before you came along
It was all beautiful
I have nothing left
In my heart, in my soul
Should have never helped
You become so powerful
But I saw a champion in your eyes

You don't care about me
If you did, you would let me go
You will eventually
'Cause you just don't care about me

You don't care if I die
If you did, you would have spared my life
I say it confidently
But you just don't care about me

You say you're thirsty
So I pour the wine
The bottle's empty
But there's no consummation

Before you came along
It was all beautiful
I have nothing left
In my heart, in my soul
Should have never helped
You become so powerful
But I saw a champion in your eyes

You don't care about me
If you did, you would let me go
You will eventually
'Cause you just don't care about me

You don't care if I die
If you did, you would have spared my life
I say it confidently
But you just don't care about me

Oh, baby, how we used to dance
I couldn't separate from your hands
Now they don't even play that song anymore
You don't care about me

No, don't care about me
No, don't care about me
You don't care about me
Don't care about about me

You don't care about me
If you did, you would let me go
You will eventually
'Cause you just don't care about me

You don't care if I die
If you did, you would have spared my life
I say it confidently
But you just don't care about me
