Ready For The Good Times

Sorry, I'm pedantic:

I don't wanna clear the cobwebs from my head Time will bring them back, I bet So if you hear me say that I believe in love Don't make me feel the shame (this wird sounds a lot like s$#%)

I used to sing the saddest songs And in the meantime roaches used to climb my door Falling back down to the floor I used to read survival guides When my world was full of seven legged cats But here I am with eight more lives

I'm ready for the good times I'm ready for the good times Ready to get it on I'm ready for the good times I'm ready for the good times Now that I'm not alone

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh You know It Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh You better not Ignore it

I don't wanna look at fashion magazines While someone does my nails Sitting here watching other people live Frozen by the fear to fail

'Cause everyday there's a war to fight And if I win or lose, never mind As long as you're my shelter every night I used to cry against a wall But now I've got a shoulder that I can lean on Swear to me you won't be gone

I'm ready for the good times I'm ready for the good times Ready to get it on I'm ready for the good times I'm ready for the good times Now that I'm not alone

Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh

'Cause everyday there's a war to fight And if I win or lose, never mind As long as you're my shelter every night I used to cry against a wall But now I've got a shoulder that I can lean on Swear to me you won't be gone

I'm ready for the good times I'm ready for the good times Ready to get it on I'm ready for the good times I'm ready for the good times Now that I'm not alone

Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh You know it Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh You better not Ignore it

Yeah, it is quite funny, isn't it?...

just to be clear, the "seven legged cats" is an expression that we have in spanish ("no le busques 7 patas al gato" = "dont look for a 7 legged cat") which basically means making a situation complicated when it does not have to be complicated, hence, being a drama queen. other than that, this song is really energyzing and the lyrics are awesome. very eclectic. oh, and for the person who re-posted the lyrics and said that "wird sounds a lot like s$#%", honey, they "sound a lot like s&%" coz those are not the actual words. the song says "dont make me feel ashamed" not "dont make me feel the shame". gosh

oh, one last thing, just to be very clear, we obviously know there are no 7 legged cats, there has never been no 7 legged cats and there will never be no 7 legged cats, so the expression is a way to say "dont look for stuff that you know they just cant be" just a spanish expression she wanted to use. ok, bye

What would she mean with her world being full of seven legged cats? I wonder...

I love this song.... she wants to have fun & be in love forever, I say!

Live on, Shakira!

sorry peeps, that was only meant to happen once

im wondreing the same thing about the whole cat thing. but i do like this song. its fun to sing to.

Shakira is quite funny. The way she tries to speak English, and then she comes out with the odd Spanish thing here and there which I don't understand, but I do submit. What does surprise me is that this ain't mine, I've submitted a lot of her Spanish songs.
