Break your Heart
Taio Cruz feat. Ludacris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Luda, now I may not be the worst or the best but you gotta respect my honesty
And I may break your heart but I don't really think there's anybody as bomb as me
So you can take this chance in the end, everybody's gonna be wondering how you deal
You might say this is Ludacris but Taio Cruz tell her how you feel

Now listen to me baby
Before i love and leave you
They call me heart breaker
I don't wanna deceive you

If you fall for me
I'm not easy to please
I'mma tear you apart
Told you from the start, baby from the start
I'm only gonna break break ya break break ya heart
I'm only gonna break break ya break break ya heart
I'm only gonna break break ya break break ya heart
I'm only gonna break break ya break break ya heart

Whoa oh whoa, whoa oh whoa

Theres not point trying to hide it
No point trying to evade it
I know I got a problem
Problem with misbehaving

If you fall for me
I'm not easy to please
I'mma tear you apart
Told you from the start, baby from the start
I'm only gonna break break ya break break ya heart
I'm only gonna break break ya break break ya heart
I'm only gonna break break ya break break ya heart
I'm only gonna break break ya break break ya heart

That's all I'm gonna do woman
Listen, now I'm only gonna break yo heart
And shatter and splatter it all into little bitty pieces
Whether or not you get it all together then it's finders keepers and losers weepers
See I'm not tryin' to lead you on, no I'm only tryin' to keep it real
You might say this is Ludacris, but Taio Cruz tell her how you feel

Hey and I know karma's gonna get me back for bein' so cold
Hey, like a big bad wolf, I'm born to be bad and bad to the bone
Hey, if you fall for me, I'm only gonna tear you apart
Hey, told ya from the start, hey

I'm only gonna break break ya break break ya heart
I'm only gonna break break ya break break ya heart
I'm only gonna break break ya break break ya heart
I'm only gonna break break ya break break ya heart

Whoa oh whoa
Whoa oh whoa




Whoa oh whoa
Whoa oh whoa
