Queen of Hearts
Jason Derülo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Queen of hearts.
Queen of hearts.
She the type of girl to make ya lazy.
Don't wanna do a thing.
I've been thinking crazy lately;
Like buying her a ring.
I used to be at the party with ladies, getting down.
I used to play with them girls
But, I'm thinking different now.

Oooooh she's a star;
She makes me fly.
Takin' me places, I've never seen.
Two worlds apart.
But, she don't mind,
Cause she's got her wings.

I ain't the only one in love,
Reputation is a bad girl;
Cause she the queen of hearts.
She had me open from the start,
Having had her I wish I dealt the cards.
Shortyâ¬"s the queen of hearts.
Queen of hearts (Ooh ooooh oooh)
Shortyâ¬"s the queen of hearts (Ooh ooooh oooh)
Shortyâ¬"s the queen of hearts.

Can't wait to wake up in the morning,
Knowing she'll be around.
Heaven shoulda sent a warning;
Before sending me an angel down.
I used to chase all the money, the cars, and all them broads.
But, I don't care for them thangs ever since she stole my heart.
Oooooh she's a star;
She makes me fly.
Takin' me places, I've never seen.
Two worlds apart.
But, she don't mind,
Cause she's got her wings.

I ain't the only one in love,
Reputation is a bad girl;
Cause she the queen of hearts.
She had me open from the start,
Having had her I wish I dealt the cards.
Shortyâ¬"s the queen of hearts.
Queen of hearts (Ooh ooooh oooh)
Shortyâ¬"s the queen of hearts (Ooh ooooh oooh)
Shortyâ¬"s the queen of hearts.

I ain't the only one in love,
Reputation is a bad girl;
Cause she the queen of hearts.
She had me open from the start,
Having had her I wish I dealt the cards.
Shortyâ¬"s the queen of hearts.
Queen of hearts (Ooh ooooh oooh)
Shortyâ¬"s the queen of hearts (Ooh ooooh oooh)
Shortyâ¬"s the queen of hearts.
