Costume Makes The Clown

Shakira · Oral Fixation Vol. 2 Re-Release [2006]

Told you I felt lucky with my humble breasts

Well I don't

Said that I was sure the world was gonna change

Well I'm not

Swore I didn't give a damn 'bout what they say

But I do

I promised that I'd never ever lie to you



So look at how

I'm taking the make-up off my face

Before I forget my own features



I'm not here to let you down

But the costume makes the clown

It's just life's anatomy, don't be so hard

Don't be so hard on this

It's your turn now

To cheat on me



Promises I made to you went down the sink

I really hope I haven't harmed your self Esteem

I'm not a virgin but I'm not the whore you think

And I don't always smell like strawberries and cream



So look at how

I'm taking the make-up of my face

Before I forget who I am now



'Cause I'm not here to let you down

But the costume makes the clown

It's just life's anatomy, don't be so hard

Don't be so hard on this

It's your turn now

Your turn now



I'm not here to let you down

But the costume makes the clown

It's just life's anatomy, don't be so hard

Don't be so hard on this

It's your turn now, your turn now

To cheat on me
