Lyrics
SHATTERED HEART<br />
<br />
Well, I was hangin’ around, hangin’ around,<br />
Hangin’ around Gasoline Alley;<br />
Checkin’ out, checkin’ out,<br />
Checkin’ out your peaks and valleys.<br />
May I propose, may I propose,<br />
May I propose a private road rally?<br />
Just you and me, just you and me,<br />
Just you and me, Mustang Sally.<br />
<br />
Yeah, I thought, I thought,<br />
I thought I was so smart;<br />
Nothing mattered, nothing mattered,<br />
Nothing mattered at the start.<br />
No astrology chart, no master of psychic arts<br />
Could foresee, could foresee,<br />
Foresee my shattered heart.<br />
<br />
Yeah, I was, I was a daredevil,<br />
A daredevil in love,<br />
Racin’ around, racin’ around,<br />
Racin’ around those hairpin curves.<br />
I was stylin’, I was stylin’<br />
Stylin’ and struttin’ my stuff.<br />
Battle of wits, battle of wits,<br />
Battle of wits and nerves.<br />
<br />
Yeah, I thought, I thought,<br />
I thought I was so smart;<br />
I picked, I picked,<br />
I picked what mattered apart.<br />
But I was fated, I was fated,<br />
Doomed from the start –<br />
Doomed to die, doomed to die,<br />
Die of a shattered heart.<br />
<br />
Yeah, I was a smokin’ bandit,<br />
Smokin’ bandit in love,<br />
Blazin’ speed, blindin’ speed,<br />
Speed on the straightaways.<br />
Always stylin’, always stylin’,<br />
Stylin’, struttin’ my stuff -<br />
Till you stalled me, till you stalled me,<br />
Stopped me cold with your gaze.<br />
<br />
Now, I’m a defunct motoring Mozart,<br />
Decomposing, breaking apart.<br />
You can put this on my medical chart:<br />
He died of a shattered heart.<br />
<br />
Yeah, I’m a defunct motoring Mozart,<br />
Decomposing, breaking apart.<br />
Put this on my medical chart:<br />
I died of a shattered heart.<br />
<br />
I never saw that caution flag;<br />
Never thought to make a pit stop.<br />
Didn’t see you stick that zig zag<br />
Or pull off your famous flip flop.<br />
<br />
I thought, I thought I was,<br />
I thought I was so smart,<br />
Until you blew, till you blew,<br />
You blew my world apart.<br />
Yeah, that’s me, yeah, that’s me,<br />
That’s me on the crash cart.<br />
That’s me on the crash cart,<br />
Me and my shattered heart.<br />
<br />
