“Black Heart”
By Stooshe
I don’t like it when you break me, honey
Why’d you have to do that
Tell me when you make these tears keep falling
Do you feel like a man
Figure, figure there’s no working you out whatsoever
Only one way I could sum you up all together
You got a black heart
(Chorus)
Daddy, I’ve fallen for a monster
Somehow he’s scaring me to death
Ah, yes he is
He’s big and he’s bad
I love him like mad
Mamma he’s the best I ever had
Daddy, I’ve fallen for a monster
He got a black heart
No walls to build around me, honey
'Cause you blew my house down
Sticks and stones won’t put it back up for me
And that’s where we’re at now
Sicker, sicker
I ain’t feeling your mouth whatsoever
A name, it hurts me more the way
From around but whatever
You’ve got a black heart
(Chorus)
He got such a dirty black heart in him
Ain’t it girls
I love him like mad
Oh, yes I do
He got a black heart
