Lyrics: Layne Stein/Anthony Michael Wakim
Music: Layne Stein/Anthony Michael Wakim
Beneath a veil of snowy white
Her secrets kept from his loving sight
A gentle smile with a tender hand
A bride whose love was always sweetly planned
The first she wed, a noble name
His fortune fed her deadly game
A toast she made a sip he took to his good health
A vow love in sickness and in wealth
'Cause she's a heartbreaker, life taker
Play the game, but she's a cold-hearted faker
Heartbreaker, smooth operator
'Till death do us part, but she's the undertaker
Her life's a roulette and you're her dead last wager
Her kiss is a vow, but she's a cruel betrayer
Heartbreaker
The second man, a wealthy heir
With coin to match her golden hair
Onto the ledge he followed underneath her spell
He leaned too close a sudden slip and down he fell
The last one came whose heart was pure
Believing love would still endure
A happy day she smiled to say, I do thee wed
They went to bed and then she drove an axe in his head
Cause she's a heartbreaker, life taker
Play the game, but she's a cold-hearted faker
Heartbreaker, smooth operator
'Till death do us part, but she's the undertaker
Her life's a roulette and you're her dead last wager
Her kiss is a vow, but she's a cruel betrayer
Heartbreaker
The headlines have faded, the case is cold
Her fortune untouched, her story untold
She knows what they don't and where the bodies are hid
Her secret is safe, I do, I did
And so she waits her hunger vast
For one more soul to be her last
A husband to love 'till his dying breath
Her vow still unbroken to love him to death
'Cause she's a heartbreaker, life taker
Play the game, but she's a cold-hearted faker
Heartbreaker, smooth operator
'Till death do us part, but she's the undertaker
Her life's a roulette and you're her dead last wager
Her kiss is a vow, but she's a cruel betrayer
Heartbreaker
Here comes the bride
