Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deceitful eyes, she's got those come get me thighs
She only knows how low that she can go
She speaks the lines that can control my mind
Wherever she goes I know my eyes follow
She blew a kiss, I swear that it was meant
Only for me, then spoke with her body
Her only goal is just to take control
And I can't believe that I can't tell her no

That girl I can't take her
Should have known she was a heartbreaker
That girl I can't take her
Should have seen right through her she's a heartbreaker
That girl I can't take her
Should have seen it coming heartbreaker
That girl I can't take her
Should have seen right thriough her
She's a heartbreaker

She plays a game with such an innocent face
I didn't know heartbreaking was her case
Her actions confess and put me through the test
I was surprised that I was caught inside
Now she's thinking that I will never know
And she'll keep playing until I let her go
But I hope in time that she will finally realize
I'm onto her game and she'll get played the same

That girl I can't take her
Should have known she was a heartbreaker
That girl I can't take her
Should have seen right through her she's a heartbreaker
That girl I can't take her
Should have seen it coming heartbreaker
That girl I can't take her
Should have seen right thriough her she's a heartbreaker

I never thought that I would stop dreamin' about you
Stop being without you
But everyone told me so, to stop caring about you
And start being without you
But I'll find a way to go and start doin' without you
And stop talkin' about you
And what will she say?
They will say I was the man that got away

I can't blame her
I thought it was love, but it's game huh?
When you're dealing with the emotions, it's pain ma
Take a closer look when your dealing with a stranger
I can't change her, no
Heart murder in place then you'll see
It won't heal from Pepsi they see
Ball hard player, she's a star player
I need Liz Cracker
I ain't seen the heartbreaker, so come on

That girl I can't take her
Should have known she was a heartbreaker
That girl I can't take her
Should've seen right through her she's a heartbreaker
That girl I can't take her
Should have seen it coming heartbreaker
That girl I can't take her
Should've seen right through her she's a heartbreaker

That girl I can't take her
Should have known she was a heartbreaker
That girl I can't take her
Should've seen right through her she's a heartbreaker
That girl I can't take her
Should have seen it coming heartbreaker
That girl I can't take her
Should've seen right through her she's a heartbreaker

That girl I can't take her
Should have known she was a heartbreaker
That girl I can't take her
Should've seen right through her
That girl I can't take her
Should have seen it coming heartbreaker
That girl I can't take her
Should've seen right through her she's a heartbreaker

That girl I
Should have known she was a
That girl I
Should've seen right through her
That girl I can't take her
Should have seen it coming heartbreaker




That girl I can't take her
Should've seen right through her she's a heartbreaker
