Queen Of The Broken Hearts
Loverboy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Both sides are fightin'
You don't know who to choose
You're stuck in the middle
And you can't lose
Both sides are talkin'
You've finally seen the light
You'll get it together
But not tonight

You were born with it
And now you got it
The way you want it
And you don't care
Cause nothin's gonna bring you down

You were born with it
And now you got it
And oooh you flaunt it
And you don't care
'Cause nothin's gonna bring you down,
No

But she's not that kind of girl
I'm tellin' all the world
She was born the Queen of the Broken Hearts

She says she'll write you letters
But that ain't face to face
She'll give you a number
But it's not her place...oh
Don't keep her waiting
Now see what you have done
You look in the mirror
It ain't no fun

You were born with it
And now you got it
The way you want it
And you don't care
Cause nothin's gonna bring you down,
No

You were born with it
And now you got it
And oh you flaunt it
And you don't care
'Cause nothin's gonna bring you down,
No

But she's not that kind of girl
I'm tellin' all the world
She was born the Queen of the Broken Hearts

'Cause she's not that kind of girl
I'm tellin' all the world
She was born the Queen of the Broken Hearts

'Cause she's not that kind of girl
I'm tellin' all the world
She was born the Queen of the Broken Hearts
She was born the Queen of the Broken Hearts
She was born the Queen of the Broken Hearts





Yeah, yeah, yeah

The woman in the song is described as someone who has the power and the ability to destroy the hearts of all that fall for her. The lyrics suggest that she is aware of her power over people, and she uses it to her advantage. However, there is a hint of vulnerability that she possesses, as she doesn't have many face-to-face interactions with those that admire her.

The guitars, the piano, the drums, the lyrics... this IS still the best music in the world!!!

Mighty Whitey

You are not serious

Dicky

Yes, AOR at its peak. The '80s are full of wonders, mostly 1980 - 1986.
More like synth-rock coated with distorted guitar and great guitar solos.
Another band as a great example is Survivor.
1987 afterwards, they sounded more modern rock which was mainstream at that time, more like hair band in the style of Bon Jovi/Saga/etc.

Bob Stewart

Nothing beats 80s rock! Loverboy is one of my favorite bands of all time!

ACE is the face

Kids today can laugh, but this shit was real and bigger than life. Your Iphone ain't nothing when it's 1983 and you just got your first car and have LOVERBOY on the radio.

LustForKicks

You know it Mr. Frehley!
