[Verse 1]
The police in New York City
They chased a boy right through the park
And in a case of mistaken identity
They put a bullet through his heart

[Chorus]
Heart breakers with your .44
I wanna tear your world apart
You a heart breaker with your .44
I wanna tear your world a part

[Verse 2]
A ten-year-old girl on a street corner
Sticking needles in her arm
She died in the dirt of an alleyway
Her mother said she had no chance, no chance

[Chorus]
Heart breaker, heart breaker
She stuck the pins right in her heart
Heart breaker, a pain maker
Stole the love right out your heart

[Post-Chorus]
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Wanna tear your world apart
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I wanna tear your world apart

[Chorus]
Heart breaker, heart breaker
You stole the love right out of my heart
Heart breaker, heart breaker
Wanna tear that world, wanna tear that world

[Outro]
Ah yeah, ah yeah
I wanna tear that world apart
Heart breaker, heart breaker
Stole the love, stole the love
(Doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Oh yeah
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo)
Oh yeah, oh yeah
(Doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo)
She stuck the pins right in her heart
Oh yeah, you're a heart breaker
(Doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo)
I wanna tear that world apart
(Doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo)
(Doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo)
(Doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo)

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
