V1.
You know, she started in the small-time paying her dues,
Worked her way up the ladder of the broken and used.
By the time she got to me, she was good at her trade.
She had a barrel full of suckers she had burned out and played.

It had every single making of a major regret,
But she was harder to quit than a cigarette.
She had me punchin' her clock, had me buyin' her stock,
She was the devil in a memory I never forgot.

She did whatever it took to weasel into my head,
And then she made me the loser when she left me for dead.
So if you see her around another deal going down, get outta town!
____________

CHORUS:
She's in the heartbreakin' business, she's in the heartbreakin' mood.
She's on a ballbreakin' mission, and business is good.
She don't care if you're down, she don't care if you're out,
She don't care if you got nothin' to lose.
She's in the heartbreakin' business, she's in the heartbreakin' mood.

V2.
It was a dirty operation from the moment we met,
She had me down on my knees, she had me up to my neck.
She had me sayin' and doin' what I had never before.
She was sellin' a virgin, I was buying a whore.

She did whatever it took to weasel into my soul,
Said I was outta my mind for playin' rock and roll.
So now you know where she been. Don't let her under your skin...
I'll say again...
____________

CHORUS.
____________

BRIDGE.
You'll be beggin' for mercy, and she'll be back on the run
Before you even realize all the damage is done.
Hold on to all that you can, or she'll take it away.
There'll be nothin' left to save!
