"23" lyrics - SHAKIRA

Everybody needs an anchor
A little something that makes you stay
An incentive, someone to fight for
'Cause no one really needs so much space

A couple years ago I was lonely
I used to think that there was no God
But then you looked at me with your blue eyes
And my agnosticism turned into dust

[Pre-Chorus:]
How well you know me
That I don't care if the rest don't
It doesn't matter to me, no ohh
Oh-oh-oh and as long as you love me
As long as we still have each other

[Chorus:]
I knew we had something
From the moment I met you
I knew we had something
No one thought it could be true
Hey do you believe
Do you believe in destiny?
'Cause I do as I did then
When you were only 23
Pararapa-pararapa pararapa-pararapa pararapa-pararapa
Ahh- ahh

God knows that I'm a good dancer
My feet can move to the music he plays
But there were times I asked for an answer
When he was acting in mysterious ways

There were nights that I stayed up crying
'Cause I was certain that things wouldn't change
But then you came and I saw you smiling
Just like an angel, so beautifully strange

[Pre-Chorus:]
And then you touched me
It's like you were made for me, oh-oh
Like it was all meant to be, oh-oh
And I was sure that you would love me
And that we'd always have each other

[Chorus:]
I knew we had something
From the moment I met you
I knew we had something
No one thought it could be true
Hey do you believe
Do you believe in destiny?
'Cause I do as I did then
When you were only 23
Pararapa-pararapa pararapa-pararapa pararapa-pararapa
Ohh- ohh

[Bridge:]
Always thought that I was fine but I was wrong
It was you, that one piece I was missing
And I could do without you but, it'd be no fun
I found you and life was suddenly easy
There ain't no worries now
There ain't no feeling down

[Chorus:]
I knew we had something
From the moment I met you
I knew we had something
No one thought it could be true
Hey do you believe
Do you believe in destiny?
'Cause I do as I did then
When you were only 23
