Heart-Breakers 1920

Ever since the world began
women have made fools of man
poets, painters and musicians
all have fallen for their charms
Warriors of great renown
Men who fought and gained a crown.
All have sacrificed positions
for a pair of loving arms

They're all heartbreakers
with their wonderful wiles,
Just nature fakirs
winning men with their smiles
and while they're making eyes at you
Heaving sighs to confound you
they're only telling lies to you
weaving love charms around you
they're great lovemakers
and they make you believe
they're great heartshakers
when they're ready to leave.
For there's a little bit
of Cleopatra in each miss
a little bit of poison
lurking in each kiss,
They're all heartbreakers
but we love them somehow.

They're all heartbreakers
with their wonderful wiles,
Just nature fakirs
winning men with their smiles
and while they're making eyes at you
Heaving sighs to confound you
they're only telling lies to you
weaving love charms around you
they're great lovemakers
and they make you believe
they're great heartshakers
when they're ready to leave.
For there's a little bit
of Cleopatra in each miss
a little bit of poison
lurking in each kiss,
They're all heartbreakers
but we love them somehow.
