King of Hearts Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
C'mon
Yeah, yeah
Woo-ah!

[Verse 1]
I met you one night on the corner of a bad decision
When my eyes locked with yours it felt just like a fast collision
You roll your money up and you call that your true religion
Baby, I believed, thought that was only me
You know, the walls, they talk but I just didn't wanna listen
You got your girls lined up like you throwin' a blind audition
I was dumb enough to let go of my intuition
I was on my knees, thought there was only me, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, you're gonna get what you deserve
Don't wanna hear another word
I'll never be the only girl, mmh, yeah

[Chorus]
King of hearts
You gon' keep on playin' 'til you go too far
No one in the world could ever be enough for your love
Baby, you keep on playin', oh, baby, c'mon, ah, ah
King of hearts
I'm not gonna be the one that you lean on
One day you gon' wake up and you got no one, had your fun
Baby, you keep on playin', oh, baby, c'mon, ah, ah
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah
C'mon
Yeah, yeah
(Woo-Ah!)

[Verse 2]
Not gonna call you when I'm drunk, not gonna send you pictures
Not gonna hold you when you come down, baby boy, go figure
Off with your head, off with the lines that you rehearsed forever
See your name, decline, you just waste my time

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, you're gonna get what you deserve
Don't wanna hear another word
I'll never be the only girl, mmh, yeah

[Chorus]
King of hearts
You gon' keep on playin' 'til you go too far
No one in the world could ever be enough for your love
Baby, you keep on playin', oh, baby, c'mon, ah, ah
King of hearts
I'm not gonna be the one that you lean on
One day you gon' wake up and you got no one, had your fun
Baby, you keep on playin', oh, baby, c'mon, ah, ah
[Outro]
Yeah
C'mon
Yeah, yeah
Woo-ah!

What did Kim Petras say about "King of Hearts"?
Genius Answer

[The song] is confessional. That was definitely my life. I’ve had a history of dating the wrong guys. I’m such a relationship girl, so I got out of a long relationship and then found out a bunch of stuff and that sucks. But you move on and you write songs about it. There’s a lot of songs that felt like I needed to write to get over things or to handle things.”
