Verse 1

Your love is like a tidal wave, spinning over my head  
Drownin' me in your promises, better left unsaid  

Pre-chorus

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

Chorus

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

Verse 2

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  

Pre-chorus

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

Chorus

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
