http://www.songramp.com/mod/mps/viewtra ... akerAmadeo Gauthier/ John WestwoodBitter sweet in her eyesBlinded by her smilesI taste the truth from her lipsAnd catch the lies from her when she slips-You're a heart breaker babe!Its all in the way she speaksHer smile is like a special treatand When she says she is only mineI catch myself. Again this time?-Ah babe! You're a heart breaker honey!Hah!Aint nothing like it seemsAll illusions and broken dreamsOpportunities wasted, Bitter fruit tasted-Not a day goes by I don't try to get it together again now,She's deeply superficial and works hard at her playher truth is artificial in an endearing kind of wayShe takes more than she gives a rule of no returnsHer icy glare can dim the sun, and well her coldness really burnsBut you me on, Turn me babe!Heart break,You're a heartbreak honey!Mmmm...

Hi Carr, Just want to say you have written wonderful lyric here. At the same time (this is from my point view) I just think that in this section of your lyric that I've copy and paste below, you have too many words in there. Other that I enjoy the story. Other may have their're say.Aint nothing like it seemsAll illusions and broken dreamsOpportunities wasted, Bitter fruit tasted-Not a day goes by I don't try to get it together again now,She's deeply superficial and works hard at her playher truth is artificial in an endearing kind of wayShe takes more than she gives a rule of no returnsHer icy glare can dim the sun, and well her coldness really burnsBut you me on, Turn me babe! stay wellIrwin

I would clarify the point-of-view. You're weave in and out from talking ABOUT "her" to talking TO her. This is a songwriting no-no, from what I've studied. (Read "The Craft of Lyric Writing" by Sheila Davis...great book!) It makes it confusing to the listener. Also, IMO, the "not a day goes by that I don't try to get it together" doesn't really fit with the first part of that verse. However, I love the way you said her "coldness really burns." Great line!

I originally thought that too and redid it but on reflection left it as Amadeo arranged it . Its a rhetorical statement not an conversational one. Its more obvious in the sound track
