SHAKIRA LYRICS - Costume Makes The Clown

"Costume Makes The Clown"



Told you I felt lucky with my humble breasts

Well I don't

Said that I was sure the world was gonna change

Well I'm not

Before I didn't give a damn 'bout what they say

But I do

Promised that I'll never ever lie to you



But look at how

I'm taking the make-up off my face

Before I forget my own features



I'm not here to let you down

But the costume makes the clown

It's just life's anatomy

Don't be so hard

Don't be so hard on this

It's your turn now

To cheat on me



Promises I made to you went down the sink

Really hope I haven't harmed your self esteem

I'm not a virgin but I'm not the whore you think

And I don't always smell like strawberries and cream



But look at how

I'm taking the make-up off my face

Before I forget who I am now



'Cause I'm not here to let you down

But the costume makes the clown

It's just life's anatomy

Don't be so hard

Don't be so hard on this

It's your turn now

Your turn now...



I'm not here to let you down

But the costume makes the clown

It's just life's anatomy

Don't be so hard

Don't be so hard on this

It's your turn now

Your turn now...

To cheat on me
