Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drownin' me in your promises, better left unsaid
You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner and you know that you were born to be
You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around, no, no, no
Your love has set my soul on fire, burnin' out of control
You taught me the ways of desire now it's takin' its toll
You're the right kind of sinner, to release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner and you know that you were born to be
You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around, no, no, no

Pat is Martinaās idol. She always has said that Pat is her inspiration.

According to an interview Martina did it was her idea and I can kind of tell from her fan girling over Pat, especially during Independence Day that this was a really big deal for her.
