Heart
Cherry Neneh Lyrics

Out of control
The situation is beyond the control of the singer.

Mmm, stick it where it hurts
The singer wants revenge against someone who has hurt them.

Girl, I'll be peeling you off the ceiling
The singer will do something to the other person that will make them lose control.

That's right, hee hee
The artist is enjoying the thought of getting revenge against the other person.

Well you laughed at me right in my face
The other person made fun of the artist in a humiliating way.

At the wrong time and in the wrong place
The other person made fun of the singer at a bad moment and in a bad location.

You turned around and said "I'm all shook up"
The other person pretended to be upset but it was insincere.

Said to me "I'm your sweet buttercup"
The other person used a term of endearment to manipulate the artist.

You're lying, you're lying, begging him to stay and crying
The other person is being dishonest, begging someone to stay, and crying.

You're lying, you're lying, you're never satisfied
The other person tends to be dishonest and is never happy.

Heart, heart you can't break my heart
The singer's heart cannot be broken.

Hard, hard you think you're so hard
The other person thinks they are tough or difficult.

If you meant what you did it wouldn't been half as bad
If the other person had done things with good intentions, it wouldn't have been as hurtful.

But you did it in spite and that just isn't right
The other person's actions were vindictive and unjustified.

You took my man and didn't mean it
The other person stole the singer's significant other but did it without any genuine interest.

But you did it to hurt my feelings
The other person stole the artist's significant other with the intention of causing emotional pain.

What I should do is slap you in your face
The artist wants to physically harm the other person as a retaliation.

You left me here with a pain below my waste
The singer is suffering from emotional pain and is devastated.

You lose a guy you move into the larder
The other person moves on to a new person quickly after breaking up with someone else.

You got no style, why don't you try a little harder
The artist believes that the other person should make an effort to improve themselves.

Chocolates, bananas, doughnuts and salami
Listing food items that the other person is consuming.

Ain't gonna fit cause you're full of bologna
The artist implies that the other person is lying or being insincere.

Only back alley rats take other people's cats
Untrustworthy individuals steal from others.

And then strike back, that isn't where I'm at
The artist doesn't intend to retaliate in this way.

Anyway, it's gonna get you anyway
The other person will receive their comeuppance eventually.

Anyday, I'm gonna get you, get you
The singer pledges to take revenge against the other person.

I thought you were my friend
The singer had previously thought of the other person as their friend.

God, you're so digital girl
The artist thinks the other person is unfeeling or insensitive.

You're like one of those cabbage patch creatures
The artist implies that the other person is childish or immature.

You burn the candle at both ends
The other person is overexerting themselves and may suffer consequences as a result.

You're gonna feel the heat
The other person will eventually face negative consequences for their actions.

If everything you do comes back to you
The other person will receive negative consequences for their actions eventually.

By now you'd be dead meat
The artist believes that the other person is in trouble if they continue their current behavior.

You took my man and took his body strapped him to your bed just to have his baby
The other person had a child with the artist's significant other and the artist resents them for it.

Everybody knows you're a phoney
The singer believes that the other person is insincere and dishonest, and that others are aware of this.

You just want his alimoney
The artist believes that the other person is motivated by financial benefits rather than genuine love or interest.
