Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The police in New York City
They chased a boy right through the park
In a case of mistaken identity
They put a bullet through his heart
[Chorus]
Heartbreakers with your forty-four
I wanna tear your world apart
You a heartbreaker with your forty-four
I wanna tear your world apart
[Verse 2]
A ten year-old girl on the street corner
Stickin' needles in her arm
She died in the dirt of an alleyway
Her mother said she had no chance, no chance
[Chorus]
Heartbreaker, a heartbreaker
She stuck pins right in her heart
Heartbreaker, a pain maker
Stole the love right out your heart
[Refrain]
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Doo-doo-doo
Wanna tear that world apart
Doo-doo-doo
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Doo-doo-doo
I wanna tear that world apart
Doo-doo-doo
[Chorus]
Heartbreaker, heartbreaker
Stole the love right out my heart
Heartbreaker, heartbreaker
Wanna tear that world
Wanna tear that world
[Outro]
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I wanna tear that world apart
Heartbreaker, heartbreaker
Stole the love right
Stole the love right out
[Outro]
Doo-doo-doo
Ah yeah
They said she didn't have no chance
Doo-doo-doo
Ah yeah, ah yeah
Doo-doo-doo
Stickin' pins right in her heart
Doo-doo-doo
[Outro]
Ah yeah, you're a heartbreaker
Doo-doo-doo
I wanna tear that world apart
Doo-doo-doo
Ah, ah
Doo-doo-doo
Ah ah
Doo-doo-doo
[Outro]
Ah, ah
Doo-doo-doo
Ah, ah, ah, ah
Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo
