Heartbreaker
Michael McQuaid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who knew that the devil wore a red, silk dress
She always in some mess
She more petty than the rest
Heartbreaker
Yeah, I call her heartbreaker
She took off with my money
Stole all my jewelry
Yeah, she even took the dog
Said he don’t belong to me
Heartbreaker
Yeah, I call her heartbreaker
She's just a lie
A wolf in disguise
She keep on pouring down like a bad hurricane
Taking everything standing in her way
Heartbreaker
I call her heartbreaker
Now she ride a Range Rover
To her new man’s crib
I see her round the corner every now and then
Heartbreaker
I call her heartbreaker
She said she really loved me
Told me that she really cared
Told me she would be the one
Who would always be there
Heartbreaker
Yeah, I call her heartbreaker
She's just a lie
(Heartbreaker)
Wolf in disguise
(Heartbreaker)
She keep on pouring down like a bad hurricane
Taking everything standing in her way
Heartbreaker
(Heartbreaker)
I call her heartbreaker
(Heartbreaker)
She's just a liar
She's just a liar
She's just a liar
She's just a liar
She'll take your heart
And set it on fire
I should’a known it the moment we started
That you were a monster, that you were dishonest
You leave me with nothing
Take all that you wanted
Now all I can see if the back of you running
How come
You looking real surprised
That’s not usually your vibe
Not usually your vibe
She's just a liar
She's just a liar
Said she really love me
Heartbreaker
You said you really love me
You looking real surprised
That’s not usually your vibe
Heartbreaker
Not usually your vibe
You said you really loved me
She's just a liar
She's just a liar
You said you really loved me
Yeah heartbreaker
She's just a liar




She's just a liar
Heartbreaker

Overall Meaning

In Michael McQuaid's song "Heartbreaker," the singer tells the story of a woman who has deceived him and shattered his heart. The opening lines suggest that the woman in question is like the devil, wearing a red silk dress, and always in some kind of mess. The singer calls her a heartbreaker and explains that she's more petty than the rest. He laments how she took his money, jewelry, and even his dog, claiming that the animal does not belong to him.


The singer seems to have had more faith in this woman than anyone else, as she had told him that she loved him and would always be there for him. However, she turned out to be a wolf in disguise, pouring down like a bad hurricane, taking everything that stood in her way. The chorus repeats heartbreaker several times. The subsequent verse mentions how this woman has moved on with her life and drives around in a Range Rover, going to see her new man. The lyrics reveal that the singer is hurt, and he regrets not seeing the monster and dishonesty from the start.


The repetition of the line, "She's just a liar," is effective in driving the song's message home. It emphasizes that this woman betrayed the singer's trust and only set out to hurt him. The closing lines where the singer challenges the heartbreaker and says that she is surprised to see how her actions have affected him emotionally also serve as an essential element of the song's message.
