Loverboy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 song Queen of the Broken Hearts by Loverboy is a tale about a woman who has been born to rule over people’s emotions. 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 song describes a situation where the person singing finds themselves caught between two sides, and they do not know what to do. Though the lyrics suggest that they will get through it, it won’t happen on this night. The woman in question is not the kind of person to wait around for someone, and it's suggested that she has a lot of admirers who are always competing for her attention. The lyrics suggest that she's not the kind of girl to give anyone too much information about herself, which can be frustrating for those who want to know everything about her. The chorus of the song brings together the message of the woman being born with the ability to control people's hearts and the fact that she's the 'Queen of the broken hearts.'

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

You are not serious

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.

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.
