Whenever, Wherever

Shakira Pop English

Vocabulary from Shakira: 'Whenever, Wherever'.

Lucky you were born that far away so

We could both make fun of distance

Lucky that I love a foreign land for

The lucky fact of your existence

Baby, I would climb the Andes solely

To count the freckles on your body

Never could imagine there were only

Ten million ways to love somebody

Le, ro, lo, le, lo, le

Le, ro, lo, le, lo, le

Can't you see?

I'm at your feet

Whenever, wherever

We're meant to be together

I'll be there and you'll be near

And that's the deal, my dear

Thereover, hereunder

You'll never have to wonder

We can always play by ear

But that's the deal, my dear

Lucky that my lips not only mumble

They spill kisses like a fountain

Lucky that my breasts are small and humble

So you don't confuse them with mountains

Lucky I have strong legs like my mother

To run for cover when I need it

And these two eyes that for no other

The day you leave will cry a river

Le, ro, lo, le, lo, le

Le, ro, lo, le, lo, le

At your feet

I'm at your feet

Whenever, wherever

We're meant to be together

I'll be there and you'll be near

And that's the deal, my dear

Thereover, hereunder

You'll never have to wonder

We can always play by ear

But that's the deal, my dear

Le, ro, lo, le, lo, le

Le, ro, lo, le, lo, le

Think out loud, say it again

Le, ro, lo, le, lo, le

Tell me one more time

That you'll live

Lost in my eyes

Whenever, wherever

We're meant to be together

I'll be there and you'll be near

And that's the deal, my dear

Thereover, hereunder

You've got me head over heels

There's nothing left to fear

If you really feel the way I feel

Whenever, wherever

We're meant to be together

I'll be there and you'll be near

And that's the deal, my dear

Thereover, hereunder

You've got me head over heels

There's nothing left to fear

If you really feel the way I feel
