 The lyrics of most songs in Laundry Service are based on issues and themes related to love , as they had been written after Shakira began a relationship Antonio de la Rúa , the son of former Argentine president Fernando de la Rúa . " Underneath Your Clothes " is an " ode " to the positivity one gains when pursuing a relationship with a good person . Shakira shows an " important side " in " The One " , which is a song about how " you love your guy so much that you ’ re actually going to learn to cook " and contains lines like " To buy more thongs and write more happy songs , it always takes a little help from someone . " In " Rules " , she aims to make her lover realise that he is " condemned " to her and lists " all the things your new boy can do . " Songs like " Objection ( Tango ) " and " Fool " also deal with issues related to love but in a different manner . The former is dramatic and humorous in approach as Shakira commands her partner to end a love triangle and choose between her and the other lady ; it was described as a " hell @-@ hath @-@ no @-@ fury it 's @-@ her @-@ or @-@ me steam train . " In the song , Shakira asserts that " Next to her cheap silicon I look minimal / That ’ s why in front of your eyes I 'm invisible " , which a reviewer commented was a " brave statement in these days of suspiciously ripe teenybop flesh peddlers [ sic ] . " " Fool " discusses how Shakira continues to try to build up a relationship with a " shitty [ sic ] , self @-@ absorbed man " even after suffering a " soul @-@ crushing defeat . "
