You tore my heart out
You threw it to the floor
You tore my heart out
What ya, what ya, what ya, what ya do that for?
Well I turned to you, I said 'no sir-ee'
When you said 'hey you'll be coming back to me'
But you kept waiting there on that line
'Cause you were pretty sure I'd fall back sometime
I was feeling strong, thought things had changed
But let's face it, baby, I was deranged
You tore my heart out
You threw it to the floor
You tore my heart out
What ya, what ya, what ya, what ya do that for?
Well I was pretty young and I wasn't quite sure
That love would ever offer me very much more
So I put on my blinkers and clicked my heels
My hungry little heart thought you were for real
Thought I could feel it to the end of my toes
But I didn't realise you couldn't see past the end of your nose
Then you tore my heart out again
Just when I'd picked it off the floor
You tore my heart out
What ya, what ya, what ya, what ya do that for?
As time passes and the years roll by
I often shake my head and I wonder why
I fell for you devastatingly
And you had such a magnetic pull on me?
You were a gale and I was a feather
But now I'm a full sail and I thrive on stormy weather
You threw it to the floor
You tore my heart out
What ya, what ya, what ya, what ya do that for?
What ya do that for?
What ya, what ya, what ya, what ya do that for?
