how to be a heartbreaker by Marina　and　The　Diamonds (2024)

Rule number one is that you gotta have fun
But, baby, when you're done, you gotta be the first to run
Rule number two, just don't get attached to
Somebody you could lose
So le-let me tell you

This is how to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like a little danger

We'll get him falling for a stranger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
How to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like the look of danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
At least I think I do

'Cause I lo-lo-lo-love you

Rule number three, wear your heart on your cheek
But never on your sleeve, unless you wanna taste defeat
Rule number four, gotta be looking pure
Kiss him goodbye at the door, and leave him wanting more, more

This is how to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like a little danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
How to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like the look of danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
At least I think I do

'Cause I lo-lo-lo-love you

Girls, we do whatever it will take
'Cause girls don't want, we don't want our hearts to break in two
So it's better to be fake, can't risk losing
In love again, babe

This is how to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like a little danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
How to be a heartbreaker
Boys they like the look of danger
We'll get him falling for a stranger
A player, singing I lo-lo-love you

'Cause I lo-lo-lo-love you
At least I think I do

The song "How to be a Heartbreaker" by Marina and the Diamonds is a sarcastic and playful take on the idea of love and relationships. The lyrics suggest that to be a heartbreaker, one must follow certain rules: have fun, don't get attached, wear your heart on your cheek, but never on your sleeve. The singer encourages women to do whatever it takes to avoid heartbreak, even if that means being fake and not risking losing in love again.

The chorus emphasizes the idea that boys like a little danger, so the singer advises getting them to fall for a stranger and playing the game of love with a sense of intrigue and mystery. However, the song contradicts itself when the singer admits that she actually loves the person she is trying to break the heart of.

Overall, the song is a catchy and ironic anthem that challenges traditional relationship dynamics and stereotypes.

Rule number one is that you gotta have fun
You need to enjoy yourself.

But, baby, when you're done, you gotta be the first to run
Once you're finished, you have to leave before anyone else can.

Rule number two, just don't get attached to
Don't develop feelings for anyone.

Somebody you could lose
Someone you might lose.

Rule number three, wear your heart on your cheek
Be vulnerable, but not too much.

But never on your sleeve, unless you wanna taste defeat
Don't be too open about your emotions.

Rule number four, gotta be looking pure
Appear as if you're not interested in anything more than superficial romance.

Kiss him goodbye at the door, and leave him wanting more, more
Leave before things escalate too much.

Girls, we do whatever it will take
Women will do anything to avoid getting hurt.

'Cause girls don't want, we don't want our hearts to break in two
Women don't want to have their hearts broken.

So it's better to be fake, can't risk losing
It's better to put up a facade than to risk getting hurt.

In love again, babe
To fall in love again.

This is how to be a heartbreaker
The process of being a heartbreaker.

Boys they like a little danger
Men enjoy a bit of danger.

We'll get him falling for a stranger
Make him fall for someone he doesn't really know.

A player, singing I lo-lo-love you
Appear like you're really into him, but it's just a game.
