  • Your love is like a tidal wave, spinning over my head
    Drownin' me in your promises, better left unsaid
    You're the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasy
    The invincible winner and you know that you were born to be

    You're a heartbreaker
    Dream maker, love taker
    Don't you mess around with me
    You're a heartbreaker
    Dream maker, love taker
    Don't you mess around, no, no, no

    Your love has set my soul on fire, burnin' out of control
    You taught me the ways of desire now it's takin' its toll
    You're the right kind of sinner, to release my inner fantasy
    The invincible winner and you know that you were born to be

    You're a heartbreaker
    Dream maker, love taker
    Don't you mess around with me
    You're a heartbreaker
    Dream maker, love taker
    Don't you mess around, no, no, no

    You're the right kind of sinner, to release my inner fantasy
    The invincible winner and you know that you were born to be

    You're a heartbreaker
    Dream maker, love taker
    Don't you mess around with me
    You're a heartbreaker
    Dream maker, love taker
    Don't you mess around with me

    You're a heartbreaker
    Dream maker, love taker
    Don't you mess around with me
    You're a heartbreaker
    Dream maker, love taker
