Lil' Mo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hmmm...
Can you fix this?
Hmmm...

[Verse 1:]
There's been a accident.
Please call 911.
I need a ambulance.
It's been a hit and run.
I can't think right.
I can't see straight.
Ain't got no appetite.
Been having chest pain.
May need some therapy.
Because of all the pain.
Some type of remedy.
I'll take three times a day.
May need some surgery.
Some type of intervention.
Are you a love doctor?
Are you a heart physician?

[Chorus:]
Can you fix this broken heart of mine? (Can you, this)
Can you take all the pieces, make it stop bleeding? (Can you)
So I can sleep at night?
Oh, can you fix this broken heart of mine? (Oh, can you fix this)
Can you take what is left of it? (Ohhh)
Give me some medicine.
Make everything all right.
Ohhhh...

[Verse 2:]
Can you prescribe a song?
Recommend a DVD.
Should I get a box of chocolates or vanilla ice cream?
Take away my symptoms of crying and my sleepless nights.
(Though sometimes I feel like dying)
Especially inside.
(Please)
Don't think I'm crazy.
(No)
Please don't think I'm tripping.
(No)
You are my last resort.
That's why I paid you a visit.
(I swear)
Mister fix it this my last question.
(If you are a love doctor)
Can I get some attention?

[Chorus:]
Can you fix this broken heart of mine? (Can you fix this broken heart of mine?)
Can you take all the pieces, make it stop bleeding?
So I can sleep at night? (Ohhh)
Oh, can you fix this broken heart of mine? (So can you fix this, ohhh)
Can you take what is left of it? (Take what's left of it)
Give me some medicine.
Make everything all right. (Ohhh)

[Bridge:]
Oh love, my heart says that you keep failing me. (My heart, hmmm...)
And my heart says I can't let love keep getting the best of me. (Can't let love, ohhhh)

Oh love, my heart says that you keep failing me. (Oh love, my heart, it says that you keep failing me)
And I'm desperate for medicine.
Can't let you get the best of me.
So...

[Chorus:]
Can you fix this broken heart of mine? (Can you fix this broken heart of mine, yeah)
Can you take all the pieces, make it stop bleeding? (Make it stop)
So I can sleep at night? (Whoa)
Oh, can you fix this broken heart of mine? (Can you fix this broken heart of mine)
Can you take what is left of it? (Take what is left of it)
Give me some medicine.
Make everything all right.

Is there anybody out there who knows what I'm going through?
(Can you fix it?)
Is there anybody out there, ohhh?
(Can you fix it?)
(Can, can, can you fix it)
Is there anybody out there?
(Can you fix it?)
(Can you fix it?)
Woah...
(Can, can, can you fix it?)
Can you fix this broken heart, broken heart?
I got this ice box where my heart used to be.
Woah, yeah yeah,
Oh... yeah yeah




Oh... yeah yeah
Woo...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lil' Mo's "Broken Heart" convey a sense of desperation and hopelessness that arises from the heartache of a failed relationship. The singer presents herself as a patient seeking help from a love doctor, someone who can prescribe a remedy to fix her broken heart. She lists her symptoms, physical and emotional, and suggests different forms of treatment: medicine, music, DVD, chocolates or ice cream. However, it becomes clear from the chorus that what she truly needs is someone who can take all the pieces of her broken heart and make it stop bleeding. Despite her plea, there is a sense of doubt whether the love doctor can truly help her or if her heart will remain broken.


Throughout the song, Lil' Mo repeats the phrase "can you fix this broken heart of mine" numerous times, emphasizing the theme of heartbreak and the singer's vulnerability. She also uses rhetorical devices such as repetition, metaphors, and allusions to convey her message. For instance, the line "I got this icebox where my heart used to be" is a reference to Omarion's "Ice Box" song, which focuses on the same theme of a broken heart. On the other hand, the line "Don't think I'm crazy. Please don't think I'm tripping" is an example of Lil' Mo's attempt to dispel any stigma associated with seeking help for mental health.


Overall, "Broken Heart" is a poignant song that speaks to anyone who has experienced heartbreak and is struggling to heal. It embodies the vulnerability and raw emotion one feels when going through a breakup, while also expressing the hope that with the right help, healing is possible.
