Intro: How was I supposed to know you was a heartbreaker? I didn't know, I couldn't know, now I'm laying on this killing floor and I wanna die, listen... How was I supposed to know was it by your sweet face or your eyes? Oh, Lord How was I supposed to know you'd give me my heart aching? Mama couldn't tell me about the feeling Oh, and all them love sick songs... Well, they got true meaning Oh why, why did you have to slice me wide, babe? How was I supposed to know you'd give me my first heart aching? How was I supposed to know you was a heartbreaker? I didn't know, I didn't know, now I'm laying on this killing floor and I wanna die Whoever said that we two were never meant? I'll tell you how I how you're wrong, I'd fight you all I know the way things are, I'd fight the planets Why, why did you have to slice so wide, baby? How was I supposed to know you was a heartbreaker? Oh, how was I supposed to know you was a heartbreaker? Oh, oh, I didn't know, I didn't know Why you got to go and kill me so that I wanna die? Oh, "I wanted to grow old with you." You told me so, but then you go How was I supposed to know? (Wooo, oooo... )
