Heartbreaker

About Heartbreaker

"Heartbreaker" is a song by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey. It was released on September 21, 1999, by Columbia Records as the lead single from Carey's seventh studio album Rainbow (1999). The song was written by Carey and Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter, and produced by Carey and DJ Clue. Additional writers are credited, since the song's hook is built around a sample from "Attack of the Name Game" by Stacy Lattisaw. "Heartbreaker" pushed Carey even further into the R&B and hip hop market, becoming her second commercial single to feature a rapper. Lyrically, the song talks about a relationship from the female perspective, and how the protagonist incessantly returns to her lover, even though he continuously cheats on her and breaks her heart. "Heartbreaker" received mixed reviews from music critics, many of which felt it was not original or innovative in terms of a creative step forward. Additionally, it was compared heavily to Carey's 1995 hit single "Fantasy", which also built its hook from a sampled beat. "Heartbreaker" topped the Canadian Singles Chart and the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Carey's 14th US chart-topper. Across Europe and Australia, the single topped the New Zealand Singles Chart and was a top-five single in France and the United Kingdom. more »

You gotta bounce to this like this
You almost kinda watching this
Aha, whooo
Escape

(Mariah:)
Boy your love's so good
I don't want to let go
And although I should
I can't leave you alone
'Cause you're so disarming
I'm caught up in the midst of you
And I cannot resist at all
Boy if I do
The things you want to to
The way I used to do
Could you love me baby
You leave me feelin used
'Cause you go and break my heart

Heartbreaker you've got the best of me
But I just keep on comin' back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You'd go and break my heart
(Gimme your love, gimme your love)
(Gimme your love, gimme your love)

It's a shame to be
So euphoric and weak
When you smile at me
And you tell me things
That you know persuade me
To relinquish my love to you
But I cannot resist
At all
Boy if I do
The things you want to to
The way I used to do
Would you love me baby
You leave me feelin used
'Cause you go and break my heart

Heartbreaker you've got the best of me
But I just keep on comin' back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You'd go and break my heart

(Jay-Z:)
She want to shop with Jay
Play box with Jay
She want to pillowfight in the middle
What a night
She want to drive my benz
With 5 of her friends
She want to creep past the block
Spyin' again
She want to roll with Jay
Chase skeeos away
She want to fight with lame chicks
Blow my day
She want to expect the rest
Kick me to the curb
If she find one strand of hair
Longer than hers
She want love in the Jacuzzi
Rub up in the movies
Access to the old crib
Keys to the newbie
She want to answer the phone
Tattoo her arm
That's when I gotta send her back to
Her mom
She called me heartbreaker
When we apart it makes her
want to piece of paper
Scribble down "I hate ya"
When she know she love Jay because
She love everything Jay say, Jay does
And uhh

(Mariah:)
Heartbreaker you've got the best of me
But I just keep on comin' back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You'd go and break my heart

(Gimme your love, gimme your love)
(Gimme your love, gimme your love)

Heartbreaker you've got the best of me
But I just keep on comin' back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You'd go and break my heart

(Gimme your love, gimme your love)
(Gimme your love, gimme your love)

Heartbreaker you've got the best of me
But I just keep on comin' back incessantly
Oh why did you have to run your game on me
I should have known right from the start
You'd go and break my heart

(Gimme your love, gimme your love)
(Gimme your love, gimme your love)
