Ohh, Ohh, Ohh
I know you work hard (work hard)
Each and every third day (third day)
You be playing in them sheets but
Daddy is it worth it
I, I, I, I
I, I'm sick of being lonely
I was over it (over it)
Now I'm over you (over you)
Silly breakups (break ups)
But we ain't through (ain't through)
I'm loving you again but I don't know why
Now we right back where we started ahh
Here we go again (here we go again)
On that bullshit (on that bullshit)
We be in and out (we be in and out)
What am I to do (what am I to do)
Loving me again (loving me again)
But I don't know why (but I don't know why)
Now we right back where we ended ah
Ohh, Mr. Heartbreaker why you do me that way?
Ohh, Ohh, Mr. Heartbreaker why you do me that way?
Don't start no shit won't be no shit
Now you wanna break me when I'm alone and shit
Wanna cry me a river boy
You twist and tossed me like I was a toy
Now I gotta let you go (go)
I'm taking back control (control)
I'm tired of your lies and your cheating
I never thought I be the one to leave

Now we right back where we ended ah
Ohh, Mr. Heartbreaker why you do me that way?
Ohh, Ohh, Mr. Heartbreaker why you do me that way
Dro, Hold up
Oh!
Steering wheel, booty girl
Make that ass rotate
Man you got a nigga smiling (cheese)
Colgate
Shawty quit playing everybody know
The forte
Fuck a threesome bitch I'm trying have a four way
Known for staying sharp
Known for breaking hearts
Known for cute bitches trying to kill by the card
But you know how these rappers be
The media might tackle me
But fucking turn the cameras on, lick you in the balcony
Yeah the Benz's blue but the heart's Redd
And guess who in the back of that bitch
Karlie Redd, Young Dro
Go against it
You a hustle gang violator
How yo chick gone let me eat em'
Like a nilater
Ohh, Mr. Heartbreaker why you do me that way?
Ohh, Ohh, Mr. Heartbreaker why you do me that way
The song "Heartbreaker" by Karlie Redd starts with a reference to the hard work that her partner does every third day, but questions whether playing in the sheets is worth it for him. The lyrics convey her loneliness and frustration with the situation, as she craves his affection and presence. The chorus repeats the line "Mr. Heartbreaker why you do me that way?" indicating that her partner continues to break her heart repeatedly despite her efforts to move on from him. The second verse sees Karlie taking back control, tired of his lies and cheating, and deciding to leave him, which also leads to her referencing her previous uncertainty about leaving him as she repeats the line "I'm loving you again but I don't know why."
Overall, "Heartbreaker" is a song about the frustration and pain of being in a toxic relationship that involves constant breakups and makeups. Karlie Redd attempts to confront the issue and take back control, but ultimately finds herself back where she started, questioning why she keeps going back to this person who repeatedly breaks her heart.
