Heartbreaker
Kayne Taylor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Undress me with your eyes
But you never make a move
Mmm, just hypnotising
'Cause I burn inside with everything I crave
I've got to deal with it someway
You're nothing but a heartbreaker
Can't you see it
You're nothing but a heartbreaker
And it's freaking me
You're just a soul taker
I can feel it
Then you see but I can leave it
I can leave it
You keep crushing my heart
I'm getting lost in you
And shivering in my sling
You took away my senses baby
You knock me off my feet
And I burn inside when it gets too much
You got me high and I can't touch
Chorus
I want you bad
You look so good
I'd have you now
Baby if I could
You're killing me
Can't you see
You're nothing but a, nothing but a, nothing but a
Heartbreaker
Soul taker
I can feel it
Please believe it
You're bring out the devil in me
And nothing's gonna save me
Chorus (x2)
