Objection (Afro Punk Remix) Lyrics
Shakira
It's not her fault that she's so irresistible
But all the damage she's caused is unfixable
Every twenty seconds you repeat her name
But when it comes to me you don't care...
Next to her cheap silicone I look minimal
That's why in front of your eyes I'm invisible
But you've got to know small things also count
Better put your feet on the ground
And see what it's about, so
Objection
I don't want to be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
Love is 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
I wish there was a chance for
You and me
I wish you could find our
Place to be
Away from here
This is pathetic
And sardonic
And sadistic
And psychotic
Tango is not for free
Was never meant to be
But you can try it
Rehearse it
Or train like a horse
But don't you count on me
Don't you count on me boy
Objection
I don't want to be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
Love is 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
