Heartbreaker Blues
Steely Dan

Verse 1:
Well, I saw her standing in the neon glow,
A smile like summer, but just as cold as snow.
Got my heart racing like a runaway train,
But deep down, baby, I know it's all in vain.

Chorus:
Heartbreaker blues, it's a beautiful tease,
Whispering sweet nothings like a summer breeze.
I know you're trouble, but oh, what a sight,
Dancing in the moonlight, you’re my dark delight.

Verse 2:
She'll spin you around like a ballerina,
With those eyes like diamonds wrapped in a subpoena.
But when the morning comes and the shadows play,
You’ll find your heart's lost, and she's slipped away.

Chorus:
Heartbreaker blues, it's a beautiful tease,
Whispering sweet nothings like a summer breeze.
I know you're trouble, but oh, what a sight,
Dancing in the moonlight, you’re my dark delight.

Bridge:
Oh, she’s a siren, calling me to the shore,
But the moment I reach her, I’ll just want more.
With all of her charms, she's a delicate spell,
And I can’t help but love her, though I know it too well.

Verse 3:
So I’ll raise my glass to that lovely facade,
When she leaves me broken, it'll just feel so awed.
I’ll wear my scars like a badge of the night,
'Cause loving her feels wrong, but it feels so right.

Chorus:
Heartbreaker blues, it's a beautiful tease,
Whispering sweet nothings like a summer breeze.
I know you're trouble, but oh, what a sight,
Dancing in the moonlight, you’re my dark delight.

Outro:
Yeah, I’ll keep on dancing with my heart on the line,
Knowing you’ll break it, but babe, that’s just fine.
With every sweet lie, I’ll still take a chance,
In this heartbreaker blues, we’ll still find romance.
