Heart
Neneh Cherry Lyrics

Out of control
Feeling overwhelmed and unable to handle a situation

Mmm, stick it where it hurts
Retaliating against someone by causing them pain or discomfort

Girl, I'll be peeling you off the ceiling
If you keep pushing my buttons, I'll cause a reaction that will shock or surprise you

That's right, hee hee
Expressing satisfaction or amusement at causing someone else discomfort

Well you laughed at me right in my face
You hurt me deeply by laughing at my expense when I was vulnerable

At the wrong time and in the wrong place
You showed a complete disregard for my feelings by taking advantage of a moment of weakness

You turned around and said "I'm all shook up"
You pretended to have feelings for me, only to manipulate me and use me

Said to me "I'm your sweet buttercup"
You used terms of endearment to lure me into a false sense of security

You're lying, you're lying, begging him to stay and crying
You're not sincere in your feelings and are only begging for my man's attention without regard for my feelings

You're lying, you're lying, you're never satisfied
You are insatiable in your desire for attention and validation, and will go to any length to achieve it

[Chorus:] Heart, heart you can't break my heart Hard, hard you think you're so hard If you meant what you did it wouldn't been half as bad But you did it in spite and that just isn't right
You can't hurt me because I have resilience and strength, and your actions were even more hurtful because they were motivated by malice

You took my man and didn't mean it
You stole my man out of spite and without any regard for the consequences

But you did it to hurt my feelings
You intentionally caused me pain and distress in order to feel more powerful

What I should do is slap you in your face
I want to physically retaliate because your actions have been so hurtful and aggressive

You left me here with a pain below my waste
You caused emotional pain that is even more severe than physical pain

You lose a guy you move into the larder
You are so desperate for attention that you will go after any man, regardless of his intentions or feelings

You got no style, why don't you try a little harder
Your actions and behavior betray a lack of confidence and style, and you should make more of an effort at being more genuine

Chocolates, bananas, doughnuts and salami
You try to win people over with cheap and meaningless gestures instead of genuine affection

Ain't gonna fit cause you're full of bologna
Your actions are empty and hollow, and no amount of superficial gestures will change that

[Chorus]
You can't break me and your actions were unforgivable

Only back alley rats take other people's cats
You are untrustworthy and sneaky, and will stoop to any level to get what you want

And then strike back, that isn't where I'm at
I won't stoop to your level and engage in petty backstabbing and betrayal

Anyway, it's gonna get you anyway Anyday, I'm gonna get you, get you
Your actions will have consequences and I won't forget what you've done to me

I thought you were my friend God, you're so digital girl You're like one of those cabbage patch creatures
I had believed we had a bond, but now I see that you have no real emotions or empathy and are like a soulless doll

You burn the candle at both ends You're gonna feel the heat
Your actions will eventually catch up to you and you will face the consequences

If everything you do comes back to you By now you'd be dead meat
Karma is a powerful force and your actions will eventually catch up to you

You took my man and took his body strapped him to your bed just to have his baby
Your actions were not only hurtful, they were cruel and inhumane, and you didn't care about anyone else's feelings but your own

Everybody knows you're a phoney You just want his alimoney
Your false and insincere behavior is obvious to everyone, and you are only after my man for his money

[Chorus]
You can't break me and your actions were unforgivable
