How To Be A Heartbreaker
Marina The Diamonds Lyrics

Rule number one, is that you gotta have fun
The first rule in breaking a heart is to enjoy yourself while doing it.

But baby when you're done, you gotta be the first to run
Once you are finished with a guy, always run away before he gets the chance to leave you.

Rule number two, just don't get attached to
The second rule is to avoid developing an emotional attachment to your target.

Somebody you could lose
Because if you become attached, you risk losing them and violating rule number one.

So le-let me tell you
I'll teach you the art of being a heartbreaker.

Rule number three, wear your heart on your cheek
Be open about your intentions by wearing your heart on your face but not your sleeve.

But never on your sleeve, unless you wanna taste defeat
If you wear your emotions on your sleeve, you could face defeat by getting too involved or revealing your true intentions.

Rule number four, gotta be looking pure
Your appearance should convey innocence and purity to entice men.

Kiss him goodbye at the door, and leave him wanting more, more
End the encounter with a simple goodbye kiss to leave him wanting more and unaware of your true intentions.

Girls, we do, whatever it will take
Girls will do whatever is necessary to avoid getting their own hearts broken.

'Cause girls don't want, we don't want our hearts to break in two
Girls don't want to feel the pain of a broken heart, so they will resort to breaking someone else's to avoid it.

So it's better to be fake, can't risk losing
Being fake is better than being vulnerable and risking heartbreak.

In love again, ba-abe
Because once you fall in love, you risk getting hurt again.

Boys they like a little danger
Men are attracted to women who seem risky or unpredictable.

We'll get him falling for a stranger
We will make him fall in love with someone he barely knows, who appears mysterious and alluring.

A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
We will pretend to be in love with the person we are trying to seduce, even though we don't mean it.

How to be a heartbreaker
These are the steps to becoming an expert at breaking hearts.

Boys they like the look of danger
Men are attracted to women who look or act dangerous.

At least I think I do
Although I claim to be in love with my target, I am really just pretending and not completely sure of my feelings.

'Cause I lo-lo-lo-love you
But I will continue to sing that I love him anyway, to keep up the appearance of affection and to continue the game.
