for me, when i sing this, i think of it as loving someone who does not love you back and until he gives in and loves me back, i'll be chasing him, just like a fool, and for me i think she's saying being hurt mentaly. but maybe just cuz thats what i can relate to.
@RitaLovesLuna i agree with you thats what i think this song is about too. songs have differant meanings for differant poeple depending on what's going on in there life when they hear it that's why it's pointless to argue about a songs meaning :p
this song is amazing and it means a lot to me...because I fell in love with a guy that didn't feel the same feelings for me, but he kind of let on like he did for a long time. He would keep hurting me, like flirting with other people and stuff, but he would say he was sorry and make me feel like it was my fault...well, i guess now that i look back on it, it was abuse, but I realized I never really had a chance with him and he would never feel that way for me, so I'm not the fool anymore
i don't think shakira want say about all that just is one way for say sometimes the love is more strong and not is easy say goodbye,for some people is really hard forget and when is real love more. shakira is so smart and she have good mind for write.
for me, the song is basically about how love can turn into obsession, and that if you spend enough time in a relationship with someone who seems kind at first but turns into a possessive animal, it's hard to see past all the smiles and bouquets of flowers that youre used to, hoping one day they will return. And until they can wisen up, and learn that some people just can't change, they will spend the rest of their lives being another lovestruck 'fool'.
love all the budding shrinks..lol...healthy love is always the best choice..however , many of us have had at least one person in our lives that has frustrated us beyond belief...caused us mental anguish. Not sure this goes to the extreme of violence , it says to do something so she can hate him..like she has no reason yet..Think its about realizing its not going anywhere and trying to find a way to move on... , .does not make it a true story...& yes, a thousand different meanings..
no.. this song tells about being "martyr"....eventhough she's been hurt many times she just love the person much..tsk tsk tsk it happens in real life....
I THINK WE SHOULD ALL DO THE RIGHT THING FOR OURSELVES and be with the people who will truly love us and treat us right. We're holding on to a penny when God has a million dollars for us. He beats you and treats you like dirt it isn't love. If he cheats on you and his affections become fake it isn't love. Do you think Juliet swooned over Romeo because he made his way to her house to beat the hell out of her? NO.
@dogpacks i agree. but what If he loves more than you love him and you know that but he is beeing possesiv and gelouse and all the package...but u cant broke up with him (even if u know it would be best 4u) because you cant....u;ve been with him for too long and u love him....what would u do then?
That is a really difficult situation. Being in a relationship isn't supposed to be all sunshine and rainbows and riding to school on pink unicorns, but it isn't supposed to make us miserable either. If you think the relationship can be saved then work for it to be saved. If you think you two can be happy together then try to be happy together by fixing what's broken. But if not, and this relationship truly is too broken to be repaired, it's best to let go, no matter how hard.

Wait, so, let me get this straight.. this is about a girl... who can't stay away from a guy who is abusing her or hurting her in any way? Thats horrable... this song is horrable...
1. She's just being weak... She can be better. It's insulting.
2. She's not a fool.. she's just being a moron.
Again... its insulting. Im sorry who ever is against my comment, or is insulted by MY comment saying how insulting I hink this video and song is... I apologize.
Well, that's the way it goes sometimes. Love can make you ill (both mentally and physically) and when that happens there's barely anything you can do to cure yourself. This is called the Stockholm Syndrome.. Look it up.
@imaxpod2 I agree. It's really bad role modeling to tell her female fans it's okay to "chase the soles of shoes" of men who abuse their girlfriends physically and mentally. Everyone thought the whole Chris/Rihanna incident was horrible, and her wanting him back was so disgusting. And everyone is so shocked when girls want to stay with the boys who continue to cause them pain. Yet we have songs like this who embrace it as a "beautiful dedication".
It's so demining towards women... basucally it's saying that some (Not all though) women don't respect or value themselves enough to understand that if your bf is hurting you at all... dump him like he;s a hot rock!!!!
@imaxpod2 The beginning of the song sounds like a plea: "Slap me on the face" "Do something clever to make me hate your name forever." and maybe then, I'll leave. But he doesn't and he does just enough to fool her into staying through the other abuse (non-physical). So I think you're right that hurting in any way is wrong but I don't think she's talking about her staying through actual physical violence. She's saying hit me so I will leave. Which is moronic but it's not sanctioning violence.
@imaxpod2 No it's about chasing after someone who dosnt feel the same way you do or is playing you hot and cold, but then again a song can have a thousand differant meanings for differant people thats just what it means for me.
This is really good. I love the song and I love how the pictures kept changing. Great work. :) <3
