You saw her smiling in the pale moonlight With a heart like a wild river, free and bright Throw your hat in the ring, take a chance tonight She might let you dance just beneath those starlit skies She\'s more than a sweet lullaby She knows what she\'s doin\', don\'t be fooled by her charm She’ll dance through your dreams, then slip from your arm She\'s a heartbreaker, that’s the cold, raw truth Try to love her and you\'ll be left singin\' the blues He thought he\'d found the one who\'d stay, come what may With every promise whispered, she\'d drift further away Yet he held on tighter, into the break of day Hopin\' the fire of passion was more than just play But love\'s a game she\'s learned to betray She knows what she\'s doin\', don\'t be fooled by her charm She’ll dance through your dreams, then slip from your arm She\'s a heartbreaker, that’s the cold, raw truth Try to love her and you\'ll be left singin\' the blues Underneath the southern skies, she\'ll make you believe Her voice a sweet melody you won\'t want to leave But remember the stories, the tales that deceive In the end, she\'s a dream that you cannot retrieve She knows what she\'s doin\', don\'t be fooled by her charm She’ll dance through your dreams, then slip from your arm She\'s a heartbreaker, that’s the cold, raw truth Try to love her and you\'ll be left singin\' the blues
