Heartbreaker (Feat. John Legend) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You gave me rainbows and butterflies
We did enjoy our happiness?
When our love was over
I was such a mess
I smiled at you
And you smiled back
There's no turning back
You said you loved me
And I did too
Now though it's over
I still love you
You're in my mind
You're in my heart
I wish I knew right from the start
All my friends said you break my heart
A heartbreaker right from the start
I tried to fight it
I tried so hard
And every day
I pray to god
That you and me were meant to be
But you had another
You had a lover
And now is gone
I don't know why
I feel like crying
Just want to die
I can't look at you
And you know why
No, I tried so hard
To catch your eye
You're in my mind
You're in my heart
I wish I knew right from the start
All my friends said you break my heart
A heartbreaker right from the start
You're in my mind
You're in my heart
I wish I knew right from the start
All my friends said you break my heart
A heartbreaker right from the start

One of the most tripped out, freeked out, far out bands that ever existed in Rock history. This is one of my many favorite Rolling Stones songs.

My father worked for NYPD and listened to this song in our Long Island basement at a volume that shook the walls. The officials may not have liked the song but the officers did.

And... "The POE LEESE in New YArk Citayy" mostly carried 4" Model 10 S&W revolvers then, So It was a .38 not a .44 that likely felled that boy in the park. (My Grandfather was also PD until 1977.) I was also 10 years old when this was new, So that poor girl could have been a classmate. š¤

Line Police officers are "just guys", Administration be damned. A "cop" is a dude with a "gig" trying to make out of his shift, No different than a bus driver or a dishwasher. I Know "cops" that are NWA fans, LOL!
