Heartbreaker
Jay-Z & Mariah Carey Lyrics

Give me your love
The person singing desires love and affection from their partner

You gotta bounce to it like this
The song has a particular rhythm that the listener is encouraged to move to

Boy your love's so good
The person who the song is addressed to has exceptional love

I don't want to let go
The person singing is hesitant to end the relationship despite potential problems

And although I should
The person is aware that they should end the relationship but they can't bring themselves to do it

I can't leave you alone
The person is still emotionally attached to their partner

'Cause you're so disarming
The person's partner is charming and captivating

I'm caught up in the midst of you
The person is deeply involved in the relationship

And I can not resist, and oh
Despite potential warning signs, the person is unable to resist their partner's charm

Boy if I do
The person singing is considering how their partner would respond if they acted a particular way

The things you want me to
The person singing is talking about their partner's desires

The way I used to do
The person singing is reflecting on past actions

Would you love me, baby
The person wants to know if their partner would still love them if they acted differently

Hold me, feeling now
The person desires physical affection from their partner

Go and break my heart
The person singing is expressing that they feel that their partner has broken their heart before

Heartbreaker, you got the best of me
The person is lamenting the fact that their partner has hurt them

But I just keep on coming back incessantly
Despite the hurt, the person keeps returning to their partner

Oh why, did you have to run your game on me
The person is questioning why their partner had to manipulate or deceive them

I should have known right from the start
The person acknowledges that they should have recognized warning signs earlier

She want to shop with Jay, play box with Jay
Jay is referring to someone who desires to spend time with him

She want to pillow fight in the middle of the night
Jay's partner wants to engage in playful activities with him

She want to drive my Benz with five of her friends
Jay's partner wants to drive his luxury car with her friends

She want to creep past the block spyin' again
Jay's partner wants to be secretive and see what he's up to

She want to roll with Jay, chase the skeeos away
Jay's partner wants to be seen with him and keep other unwanted attention away

She want to fight with lame chicks, blow my day
Jay's partner wants to fight with anyone who might interfere with their relationship

She want to inspect the rest, kick me to the curb
Jay's partner wants to see if there are any skeletons in his closet and potentially end the relationship

If she find a strand of hair longer than hers
Jay's partner would be upset if she found any evidence of him being with another woman

She want love in the jacuzzi, rub up in the movies
Jay's partner wants romantic, intimate experiences with him

Access to the old crib, keys to the new crib
Jay's partner wants the ability to have equal access to his past and future homes

She want to answer the phone, tattoo her arm
Jay's partner wants to show her commitment to him by permanently marking her body with his name

That's when I gotta send her back to her moms
Jay knows that he must end the relationship with a partner who is overly demanding and possessive

She call me 'Heartbreaker'
Jay's partner refers to him as someone who has broken her heart

When we apart, it makes her
Jay's partner misses him when they are not together

Want to get a piece of paper, scribble 'I hate ya'
Jay's partner has strong emotions towards him, both positive and negative

But she know she love Jay because
Despite any negative feelings, Jay's partner loves him

She love everything Jay say, Jay does and uh
Jay's partner is devoted to him and appreciates everything about him
