Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Heartbreaker, girl, you sure is gone
Heartbreaker, girl, you sure is gone
Heartbreaker, how you carry on
[Verse 2]
You a bobby soxer, mean, mistreated too
You a bobby soxer, mean, mistreated too
You just a little school girl, but you sure know what to do
[Verse 3]
Pretty baby in your new red dress
Pretty baby in your new red dress
When I'm not around you, I can't hardly get my rest
[Verse 4]
Heart-teaser, you runnin' all around
Heart-teaser, girl, you runnin' all around
And if you don't stop, baby, you'll be sleepin' in the ground
[Verse 5]
How can I help it, baby, if I'm in love with you?
How can I help it if I'm in love with you?
I've been your fool, baby, tell me, what more can I do?
[Verse 6]
Heartbreaker, so you think you're smart
Ah, heartbreaker, you know you think you're smart
Well, heartbreaker, I wanna tell you broke my heart
[Verse 7]
You know you broke my heart
You said we'd never part
You know you broke my heart
You told me we would never part
