Objection (Tango) is a magnificent song by Shakira from her album: «Laundry Service» Its Spanish version is entitled: «Te Aviso, Te Anuncio» (I'm warning you, I'm telling you). Written and performed by Shakira in English, it was released as a single in 2002 produced by Shakira herself and Lester Mendez.
Scenes in the video come from the film: «Get Smart» starring Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway, directed by Peter Segal. Lindsay Hollister is Steve Carell's dance partner at the party.

It's not her fault that she's so irresistible
but all the damage she's caused isn't fixable
Every twenty seconds you repeat her name
but when it comes to me, you don't care
if I'm alive or dead, so

Objection!
I don't wanna be the exception
to get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
but you don't even bother

Objection!
I'm tired of this triangle
got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
no way, I've got to get away

Next to her cheap silicone, I look minimal
that's why in front of your eyes, I'm invisible
But you've got to know small things also count
better put your feet on the ground
and see what it's about, so

Objection!
I don't wanna be the exception
to get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
but you don't even bother

Objection!
I'm tired of this triangle
got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
no way, no no no no no

I wish there was a chance for you and me
I wish you couldn't find a place to be away from here
This is pathetic and sardonic
it's sadistic and psychotic
Tango is not for three, was never meant to be
but you can try it, rehearse it or train like a horse
but don't you count on me
don't you count on me, boy

Objection!
I don't wanna be the exception
to get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
but you don't even bother

Objection!
I'm tired of this triangle
got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
no way, I've got to get away, get away, get away, get away

I'm falling apart in your hands again
get away
I'm falling apart in your hands again
get away, get away
get away.
