Q&A
Illegal (feat. Carlos Santana) Lyrics
Who would have thought
That you could hurt me
The way you've done it?
So deliberate, so determined
And since you have been gone
I bite my nails for days and hours
And question my own questions on and on
So tell me now, tell me now
Why you're so far away
When I'm still so close
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
You said you would love me until you die
And as far as I know you're still alive, baby
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart
I tried so hard to be attentive
To all you wanted
Always supportive, always patient
What did I do wrong?
I'm wondering for days and hours
It's here, it isn't here where you belong
Anyhow, anyhow
I wish you both all the best
I hope you get along
But you don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
You said you would love me until you die
And as far as I know you're still alive, baby
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart
Open heart
Open heart
It should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart
That you could hurt me
The way you've done it?
So deliberate, so determined
I bite my nails for days and hours
And question my own questions on and on
Why you're so far away
When I'm still so close
You said you would love me until you die
And as far as I know you're still alive, baby
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart
To all you wanted
Always supportive, always patient
What did I do wrong?
I'm wondering for days and hours
It's here, it isn't here where you belong
I wish you both all the best
I hope you get along
You said you would love me until you die
And as far as I know you're still alive, baby
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry"
I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart
Open heart
It should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart

I love this song! It's amazing. I love the whole idea of the song. The music video is great and even makes sense!
as shewaitsxx said, this song's value depends on the person. in my case, it fits like a sock. but i think that if my boyfriend did not leave me, this would be just another love song, to sing for days and then to forget it.
No comments? That's understandable... this song is sweet and sad but not incredibly entertaining or even that heartfelt... I wouldn't like it any differently if Hilary Duff sang it...
to be honest, i'd say this was one of the more heartfelt ones, i'd say the lack of comments was probably more to do with the fact it isn't a multi-layered song, simple and to the point...honest...

nah, its a good song. i love the guitar with her voice.
its clearly about a guy who cheated on her when she thought she did everyhthing right "doesnt know where it went wrong"
I think the value of this song depends on the person... If you've been through a situation like the song is, it means alot to you.
the part 'but you dont even know the meaning of the words "im sorry"' really packs a punch the way she sings it
this song is so pretty i really love it. i think she sings beautifully, the lyrics are good and the guitar is also beautiful. i don't know how people have more to say about "hips don't lie" than this.
I think this song is about a guy that was unfaith to his girl-friend, she found out about it and the guy said that he was sorry. But then he goes around and is unfatihfull again and the girl is sad that he was not really sorry and that hole time it was just one big lie. I really like that Santana plays on this song.
Try this: My fiance one day got cold feet and told me he loved his ex more then me. I couldn't take it, I broke down, and the next day broke up with him. He said sorry a million times and wanted me back three months later. I wouldn't have him back because he had hurt me too much. I was a fool, and even more of one when I found out I wasn't the first girl he had gotten "cold feet" with. If he was that serious he shouldn't have had another girl on his mind.
