THE HEARTBREAKER 
(John David Souther)


You want to make up the rules as you go
You think he plays too rough
But you could have all the luck in the world
And man it might not be enough

He's got a star on his shoulder
But you can see it's a cheat
The heartbreaker
He's a hard one to beat

It makes you mad to see him win
Butthe girls keep comin' around
He plays dirty and he plays for keeps
But he's got that magic sound 

A song and a suitcase 
And a rodeo smile
The heartbreaker
Just a picture of style

Your lady loves him, she's waitin' in school
I guess he's everything you want to be
But then, how you gonna make him look like a fool
He's got a vision you can't even see

He's mister deliver, he never lets you down 
And now the lifewrecker is comin' to town

The heartbreaker, the heartbreaker
The heartbreaker is comin' to town
