Enrique Iglesias Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Loving you was easy
Thought you'd never leave me yeah, yeah
Wrapped around my finger
See ya when I see you yeah, yeah

Now I'm hearing around
That you been running around
I didn't think I'd miss you
Now I'm feeling like a fool
Ooh, ooh

It hit me like a heart attack
When you finally left me girl
I thought I'd never want you back
But I don't wanna live in a world without you
I don't wanna live in a world without you
I don't wanna live in a world without you

Never really noticed
All the little things you did, you did
Never bought you roses
Always was around my friends, my friends

And now I'm hearing around
That you been running around
I didn't think I'd miss you
Now I'm feeling like a fool
Ooh, ooh

It hit me like a heart attack
When you finally left me girl
I thought I'd never want you back
But I don't wanna live in a world without you
I don't wanna live in a world without you
I don't wanna live in a world without you

Never should've let you slip away
Living in a world that's turned to grey
Little did I know it hurts so bad

'Cause it hit me like a heart attack
When you finally left me girl
I thought I'd never want you back
But I don't wanna live in a world without you
I don't wanna live in a world without you
I don't wanna live in a world without you, no oh
I don't wanna live in a world without you, no oh
I don't wanna live in a world without you

And now I'm hearing around
That you been running around
I didn't think I'd miss you




Now I'm feeling like a fool
Ooh ooh

Overall Meaning

The song "Heart Attack" by Enrique Iglesias is a heartfelt song about the shock one feels when they lose someone they love. The song starts off with Iglesias singing about how easy it was to love the person and how he thought they would never leave him. He had them wrapped around his finger and saw them only when he saw fit. However, he later finds out that they were running around on him, and now he feels foolish for not realizing it sooner. It is at this point that he is hit with the realization that the person he loves has left him, and it feels like a heart attack.


Despite thinking he would never want them back, he finds that he doesn't want to live in a world without them. He never noticed all the little things they did for him because he always had them around, and he never even thought to buy them flowers. He realizes now that he should never have let them slip away, and that living in a world without them is unbearable. He finishes the song once again singing about how foolish he feels for not realizing how much he needed them until it was too late.


Overall, the song is a heart-wrenching ballad about the pain of losing someone you love and realizing how important they were to you. It is a song that many people can relate to, as many of us have experienced the pain of losing someone we cared about deeply.

Wrapped around my finger
I had control over you


See ya when I see you yeah, yeah
Our relationship was casual, we'd see each other when we did

Never really noticed
I did not recognize


All the little things you did, you did
The small efforts and gestures you made for me


Never bought you roses
I never gave you romantic gestures


Always was around my friends, my friends
I spent most of my time with my friends instead of focusing on you


Never should've let you slip away
I should not have let you go


Living in a world that's turned to grey
My life feels dull and unfulfilling without you in it


Little did I know it hurts so bad
I didn't realize that losing you would be so painful


No oh
Repeated statement of not wanting to live without you


Ooh ooh
Vocalizations to express distress and regret
