Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But, baby, when you're done, you gotta be the first to run
Rule number two, just don't get attached to
Somebody you could lose
So le-let me tell you
This is how to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like a little danger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
How to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like the look of danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
At least I think I do
'Cause I lo-lo-lo-love you
Rule number three, wear your heart on your cheek
But never on your sleeve, unless you wanna taste defeat
Rule number four, gotta be looking pure
Kiss him goodbye at the door, and leave him wanting more, more
This is how to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like a little danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
How to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like the look of danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
At least I think I do
'Cause I lo-lo-lo-love you
Girls, we do whatever it will take
'Cause girls don't want, we don't want our hearts to break in two
So it's better to be fake, can't risk losing
In love again, babe
This is how to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like a little danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
How to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like the look of danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
'Cause I lo-lo-lo-love you
At least I think I do
In "How to Be a Heartbreaker," Marina and the Diamonds offers a series of rules on how to avoid falling in love with someone and instead break their hearts. The first two rules involve enjoying yourself but keeping a distance from anyone you might get emotionally attached to, while the latter two involve maintaining an air of mystery and withholding affection. The chorus is an anthem to being a heartbreaker, with Marina urging girls to do what it takes not to get their hearts broken. The song emphasizes the importance of power and control in a relationship, with Marina asserting that being a heartbreaker is a better alternative to being the one whose heart gets broken.
