Miriam Masala Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
, Save me but you
It′s strange what desire will make foolish people do
I'd never dreamed that I′d meet somebody like you
And I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I don′t want to fall in love
(This girl is only gonna break your heart)
(This girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you
With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
What a wicked game you played to make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do to let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say you never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do to make me dream of you
And I don't want to fall in love
(This girl is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don′t want to fall in love
(This girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I′d never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
And I′d never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I don't want to fall in love
(This girl is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don′t want to fall in love
(This girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
No, I (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
(This girl is only gonna break your heart)
Nobody loves no one

The lyrics also highlight the power of desire and how it can make people do foolish things.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "This girl is only gonna break your heart" multiple times, emphasizing the singer's reluctance to fall in love. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been hurt before, and she doesn't want to go through that pain again. However, the repetition of "with you" at the end of each chorus implies that she is still drawn to this person, despite her reservations.
