Ever since she was a baby
Settin' on her daddy's knee
Had him wrapped around her finger
Doing anything she pleased

She had a way of getting what she wanted
But Daddy knew in his mind
The pretty soon the boys would come runnin'
It's just a matter of time before

Hearts are gonna roll
Heads are gonna turn
Tears are gonna fall
A bridge is gonna burn
Hearts are gonna roll
Hearts are gonna roll

Now she changes like the weather
Never stays in love too long
She'll take you to the limit
Just to leave you hangin' on

Drop dead looks and a mind for trouble
That's all the girl's ever known
Leavin' behind a path of destruction
No matter where she goes

Hearts are gonna roll
Heads are gonna turn
Tears are gonna fall
A bridge is gonna burn
Hearts are gonna roll
Hearts are gonna roll

Don't fall under the spell of her eyes, boy
She's not looking at you
Take it from somebody who knows
She's movin' right one through

Hearts are gonna roll
Heads are gonna turn
Tears are gonna fall
A bridge is gonna burn
Hearts are gonna roll
Hearts are gonna roll

Ever since she was a baby 
Settin' on her daddy's knee
Had him wrapped around her finger
Doing anything she pleased, he knew

Hearts are gonna roll
Hearts are gonna roll
Hearts are gonna roll
Hearts are gonna roll
Watch 'em roll now
