She Wolf Lyrics

SOS she's in disguise
SOS she's in disguise
There's a she wolf in disguise
Coming out
Coming out
Coming out

A domesticated girl that's all you ask of me
Darling it is no joke, this is lycanthropy
The moon's awake now with eyes wide open
My body is craving, so feed the hungry

I've been devoting myself to you Monday to Monday and Friday to Friday
Not getting enough retirbution or decent incentives to keep me at it
I'm starting to feel just a little abused like a coffee machine in an office
So I'm gonna go somewhere closer to get me a lover and tell you all about it

CHORUS
There's a she wolf in the closet
Open up and set her free
There's a she wolf in your closet
Let it out so it can breathe

Sitting across a bar staring right at her prey
It's going well so far, she's gonna get her way
Nocturnal creatures are not so prudent
The moon's my teacher, and I'm her student

To locate the single man, I've got on me a special radar
And the fire department hotline in case I get in trouble later
Not looking for cute little divas or rich city guys, I just want to enjoy
By having a very good time and behave very bad in the arms of a boy

CHORUS
There's a she wolf in the closet
Open up and set her free
There's a she wolf in your closet
Let it out so it can breathe

SOS she's in disguise
SOS she's in disguise
There's a she wolf in disguise
Coming out
Coming out
Coming out

SOS she's in disguise
SOS she's in disguise
There's a she wolf in disguise
Coming out
Coming out
Coming out

There's a she wolf in your closet
Let it out so it can breathe...

I'd like to think she's using lycanthropy as sexual desire, based on the way she puts it.

She's in a relationship with someone who appears to be holding her down; 'putting her in a closet'. But like wolves, they can't really be tamed, always wild, so she longs to be set free. This relationship she's in she wants to break out of and essentially find some 'fresh meat'.

Like a wolf, she associates hunting with looking for guys. The song simply states that she doesn't want to be 'domestic' but wild and free with no relationship.

Alright, so obviously I agree that the song is terrific and that the howling is great, but as for the actual 'deeper meaning' of the song, I'm almost positive that the song, and especially the video is about her dissatisfaction with her man and the pleasuring of herself that secretly goes on. Her so-called 'closet' is the place that she goes when she needs to feel true satisfaction, and the fact that in the video she is so cautious about her lover implies that she needs to seek satisfaction secretly without him.

The fact that she wrote the song in ten minutes shows that she was desperately in need of venting about her unfortunate situation.

Anyone who doesnt understand this song and/or doesn't have a genuine appreciation for it, has never experienced real sexual suppression.

Just a little more info...

Did you know that she was in a relationship where her husband/boyfriend/whatever wouldn't allow her to wear make-up or put products in her hair, even for concerts? He claimed she didn't have to be like everyone else and that she had natural beauty. I just thought this piece of information might affect the meaning of the song.

This song..The lyrics seem questionable, I love how she howls though. Beat's addictive.

agree, very catchy song. love the howling its cute definitely about lust i agree with StilleNacht

Cover art for She Wolf lyrics by Shakira

Perhaps its just about wanting to break away from a person who isn't satisfying enough and wanting to go out and be free to do what they please with other people, most likely to get caught later.

:D i...d...k...!

My Opinion
Cover art for She Wolf lyrics by Shakira

this song makes sense to anyone who's ever been in a boring loveless relationship. I was once in such a relationship for about 5 months before coming to my senses and while I never thought of cheating as this song suggests the subject does, I understand the feeling of being an animal trapped in a cage, simply being used for sex like one uses a coffee machine for beverages. She feels the need to escape and be with someone more passionate who appreciates her wild side.

I love this song both spanish and english (but english more). It's so catchy, i can't stop playing it. Hopefully it will be a big hit! can't wait for the full video.

So basically the beginning of this song she's singing about how her relationship isn't fufilling. She's being the perfect charming girl. The "lycanthropy" is an animal transformation, she's saying there is a whole other side of her that is lustful and not "domesticated"

The rest of the song just goes on from there about letting out that lust.
