🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • No fighting
  • No fighting
  • Shakira, Shakira
  • I never really knew that she could dance like this

Echo the hook

  • Reading the signs of my body
  • I'm on tonight, you know my hips don't lie
  • And I'm starting to feel you, boy
  • Come on, let's go, real slow
