Heartbreaker
Led Zepellin/Led Zeppelin Lyrics

Hey fellas have you heard the news?
Asking if anyone else knows that Annie is back in town

You know that Annie's back in town?
Confirming that Annie has indeed returned

It won't take long just watch and see
Implying that Annie will quickly become the center of attention

How the fellas lay their money down
Suggesting that the men will try to win Annie's favor with their wealth

Her style is new but the face is the same
Annie's fashion has changed, but she looks the same

As it was so long ago
Noting that Annie has been away for a long time

But from her eyes a different smile
Observing that Annie has a new, knowing smile in her eyes

Like that of one who knows
Comparing Annie's smile to that of someone who has experienced a lot in life

Well, it's been ten years and maybe more
Reflecting on the years since the singer first met Annie

Since I first set eyes on you
Recalling the moment he first laid eyes on her

The best years of my life gone by
Suggesting that his best years were spent with Annie, and are now in the past

Here I am alone and blue
Feeling down and lonely because he's not with Annie

Some people cry and some people die
Explaining that love can have devastating effects

By the wicked ways of love
Attributing these unfortunate outcomes to love itself

But I'll just keep on rollin' along
Resolving to keep moving forward despite the hardships

With the grace of the Lord above
Having faith that a higher power will guide him

People talkin' all around 'bout the way you left me flat
Others are gossiping about how Annie hurt the singer's feelings

I don't care what the people say, I know where their jive is at
Disregarding the gossip and recognizing that others have ulterior motives

One thing I do have on my mind, if you can clarify please do
Asking Annie to explain why she calls him by another man's name during sex

It's the way you call me by another guy's name when I try to make love to you, yeah
Expressing hurt and confusion over Annie's actions in bed

I try to make love but it ain't no use
Feeling powerless to make things right between them

Give it to me, give it
Expressing a desire for physical intimacy despite the pain it causes him

Work so hard I couldn't unwind
Having worked hard and unable to relax or enjoy life

Get some money saved
Having saved some money despite his difficult situation

Abuse my love a thousand times
Feeling like he has been taken advantage of in love countless times

However hard I tried
Despite his best efforts to make things work

Heartbreaker, your time has come
Declaring that Annie's actions have caught up with her

Can't take your evil way
Refusing to tolerate Annie's hurtful behavior any longer

Go away heartbreaker
Demanding that Annie leave and take her negativity with her

Heartbreaker
Labeling Annie as the cause of his pain and heartache

Heartbreaker
Reiterating the label, as if to drive home the point that Annie is the problem
