Shakira - 23 lyrics

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
