Barracuda
Heart Lyrics

So this ain't the end, I saw you again, today
I met you again today, but even though you appeared cheerful, I had to keep my distance from you to avoid getting hurt again.

I had to turn my heart away
I had to guard my heart and emotions against your seeming sincerity because I know you have deceived me before.

Smiled like the sun, kisses for everyone
Despite your deceitful and cruel nature, you still manage to appear charming and friendly to those around you.

And tales, it never fails
You continue to spin false stories and deceive people, and unfortunately, it seems to work for you every time.

You lying so low in the weeds
You are hiding in the shadows, ready to strike at me when I least expect it.

I bet you gonna ambush me
I am certain that you have planned to take advantage of me again.

You'd have me down, down, down, down on my knees
You will do everything in your power to put me in a vulnerable and powerless position so that you can take advantage of me again.

Now wouldn't you, barracuda? Oh
You have a predatory and merciless nature, just like a barracuda, always ready to take advantage of others.

Back over time we were all trying for free
In the past, we were all looking for something without having to pay the price for it.

You met the porpoise and me, uh-huh
You got involved with both me and my friend the porpoise at the same time.

No right, no wrong you're selling a song, a name
You have no moral principles, and you will do anything to promote yourself, including lying and manipulating others.

Whisper game
You play a deceitful and underhanded game, involving whispers and secret information to gain an advantage over others.

And if the real thing don't do the trick
If reality doesn't give you what you want,

You better make up something quick
you will make up a lie or a false pretext to get what you want.

You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn to the wick
You will ultimately pay for your deceptions and dishonesty.

Ooh, barracuda, oh yeah
You are as fierce and dangerous as a barracuda, and your deceptive and ruthless nature is always lurking beneath the surface.

"Sell me, sell you" the porpoise said
The porpoise warned you about the dangers of promoting yourself at the expense of others.

Dive down deep now to save my head, you
You had to act to save yourself from being exposed as a liar and a fraud.

I think that you got the blues too
You are also unhappy and dissatisfied with your life, despite your apparent success and charm.

All that night and all the next
You swam to escape from the consequences of your actions, without looking back.

Swam without looking back
You refused to face the consequences of your actions, and instead chose to flee and escape the responsibility for your deeds.

Made for the western pools, silly, silly fools
You and those who follow you are foolish and naive, and headed for ruin and destruction.

The real thing don't do the trick, no
Real love and sincerity are not enough to satisfy someone like you, who is always looking out for their own self-interest.

You better make up something quick
You will always try to manipulate and deceive to get what you want, even if it means lying or making up stories.

You gonna burn, burn, burn, burn, burn it to the wick
Your lies and deceptions will ultimately catch up with you, and you will suffer the consequences.

Ohh, barra-barracuda, yeah
You are a truly cold and calculating individual, driven by your own selfish desires and unconcerned with the welfare of others.
