Animal City Lyrics - Oral Fixation Vol. 2 - Shakira

Why do all my friends now want to be your lovers? 

Your family got bigger when they thought you were rich 

And now like maniacs, they scratch your back 

Even when it doesn't itch 

I want to figure it all 

I want to figure it all out 

I want to save you from 

Save you from all that's vain 

Save you from the things that cause us pain 

'Cause it's an animal city 

It's a cannibal world 

So be obedient, don't argue 

Some are ready to bite you

It's an animal city 

It's a cannibal world 

So be obedient, don't argue 

Some are ready to bite you, my love 

They believe you now 

Have everything you wanted 

And once you have become a star 

You've got no right to bitch 

But someday when you fail 

They'll put you on sale 

And buy you by the inch 

But you're the real deal 

And "real" is your middle name 

You know sometimes I feel 

Gotta earn every breath we take, baby 

Never mind the rules we break

'Cause it's an animal city 

It's a cannibal world 

So be obedient, don't argue 

Some are ready to bite you 

It's an animal city 

It's a cannibal world 

So be obedient, don't argue 

Some are ready rip you right off 

With you I feel safe 

There's nothing to fear from us 

Away from the fangs, the fangs of the world 

I may be a coward, but you are brave 

And nothing seems so dangerous 

'Cause it's an animal city 

It's a cannibal world 

So be obedient, don't argue 

Some are ready to bite you 

It's an animal city 

It's a cannibal world 

So be obedient, don't argue 

Some are ready rip you right off 

Cannibal world 

Cannibal world 

Cannibal world 

Cannibal world 

So be obedient, don't argue 

Some are ready to bite you, my love
