Mmmmm Woah Woah
Hey Hey eyyy Hey eyyyy Heyy
Mmmm
He used to put me up on game
Showed me what to look for
Warning signs so that I wouldn't get took for
Everything I had
By a fella that
Knew the right things to say
And I was a real good student; Knew it.
So when fellas trynna game
he couldn't do it
I thought he was lookin' out for me
Never ever thought that he'd turn out to be
He used to tell me
Watch out for heart breakers
All they do is take your love and leave
I never thought that he'd turn out to be the
heart breaker that he warned me 'bout
He told me watch out for heart breakers
All they do is take your love and leave
I never thought that he'd turn out to be the
heart breaker that he warned me 'bout.
Mmm
He used to tell me that a playa
Would say just about anything to lay ya
Down and see ya lata
Opening my eyes
For real
But blinding me at the same time
Oh oh oh
But I can't name nobody
Oh I really wish that I could blame somebody
but it was my fault
had me so gone
not paying attention, that's where I went wrong
He used to tell me
Watch out heart breakers
All they do is take your love and leave
I never thought that he'd turn out to be the
heart breaker that he warned me 'bout
He told me watch out for heart breakers
All they do is take your love and leave
I never thought that he'd turn out to be the
heart breaker that he warned me 'bout.
Silly me, silly me
I was so busy stressin', him
That I forgot the first lesson
Keep your eyes open at all times
ooooh woahhh
Silly me, silly me
Now I'm promising myself I'm
only falling for him one time
Mistakes, I learned from mine.
He used to tell me
Watch out heart breakers
All they do is take your love and leave
I never thought that he'd turn out to be the
heart breaker that he warned me 'bout
He told me watch out for heart breakers
All they do is take your love and leave
I never thought that he'd turn out to be the
heart breaker that he warned me 'bout.
