About This Track

'Something' by Shakira is a 2005 track from 'Oral Fixation, Vol. 2 (Expanded Edition)'. The lyrics are a romantic declaration, centring on being taken into someone’s arms, looking into their eyes, and finding faith in their presence. The narrator contrasts their pre-meeting misfortune with a shift after “you came”, turning past sadness into something laughable. The mood is buoyant and grateful, with the idea that a once-dull outlook has been brightened by a new love.

"Something" is a track by Shakira, from the album Oral Fixation, Vol. 2 (Expanded Edition), released 28th November 2005. The track is 4:24 long. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about Shakira.

Lyrics

Something

Quand tu, quand tu me prends dans tes bras
Quand je regarde dans tes yeux
Je vois qu'un Dieu existe
C'est pas dur d'y croire

Before I met you, I wasn't terribly lucky
Every Prince Charming lost charm after twelve
But then you came and made the past look so funny
Put my old sadness to sleep on a shelf

If this was meant to be
Don't condemn me to be free
And even if we never marry
I will always love you, baby
Childishly

'Cause something
You've got something I can't resist
Things are what they will be
When I look into your eyes, they say to me that God still exists

And there's something
You've got something I can't resist
Things are what they will be
When I look into your eyes, they say to me that God still exists
You make me believe
You make me believe

I love the temperature and smell of your body
The shape of your lips and the size of your nose
I love that everything you say is so funny
Plus, you're the best kisser that I've ever known

You see the way I am
Without make-up, without clothes
And you accept me like nobody
And I will always love you, baby
With eyes closed

'Cause something
You've got something I can't resist
Things are what they will be
When I look into your eyes, they say to me that God still exists
And there's something
You've got something I can't resist
Things are what they will be
When I look into your eyes, they say to me that God still exists
You make me believe
You make me believe

Quand tu, quand tu me prends dans tes bras
Quand je regarde dans tes yeux
Je vois qu'un Dieu existe
C'est pas dur d'y croire

There's something, I believe
Something, I believe
There's something, I believe, I do
You make me believe

Je te désire
