Your Embrace

Song byShakira

in AlbumOral Fixation Vol. 2

Tell me, what's the use

Of the twenty-four inch waist

If you don't touch me?

Tell me, what's the use again

Of being on TV every day

If you don't watch me?

This house is full of emptiness

My closet's full of dresses

That I'll never wear

My life is full of people

But you're my only friend

My best friend

Hope it isn't too late

To say "I love you"

Hope it isn't too late to say

That without you this place looks like London

It rains every day

Don't you know it, babe

I'm only half a body

Without your embrace

Let me tell you why

My heart is an unfurnished room

Any suggestions?

Don't have to tell you more than that

'Cause no one knows me like you do

Without exception

This house is full of emptiness

My closet's full of dresses

That I'll never wear

My life is full of people

But you're my only friend

My best friend

Hope it isn't too late

To say "I love you"

I hope it isn't too late to say

That without you this place looks like London

It rains every day

Don't you know it, babe

I'm only half a body

Without your embrace

Hope it isn't too late

To say "I love you"

Hope it isn't too late to say

That without you this place looks like London

It rains every day

Don't you know it, babe

I'm only half a body

Without your embrace
