 ROLLING STONES LYRICS
 
 DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO (HEARTBREAKER)  

First worked on in November & December 1972, then recorded with new lyrics in May and June of  '73.  Released on Goats Head Soup in 1973, also released as a US single in '73. The Stones are not known for too many political songs, but this one took aim at the NYC police, after they killed a 10 year old out jogging in Queens with his father. They mistook the boy for an adult who had just robbed a cabbie, so said the trigger-happy officer who fired the fatal shot.

DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO (HEARTBREAKER)
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

The po-lice in New York City
They chased a boy right through the park
In a case of mistaken identity
They put a bullet through his heart

Heart breakers with your forty four
I wanna tear your world apart
You heart breaker with your forty four
I wanna tear your world a part

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!
Heart breaker, heart breaker
She stuck the pins right in her heart
Heart breaker, a pain maker
Stole the love right out of you heart

Oh yeah (doo, doo doo doo doo)
Oh yeah (doo doo doo, doo doo)
I wanna tear that word apart

Oh yeah (doo, doo doo doo doo)
Oh yeah (doo doo doo doo doo)
I wanna tear that word apart

Heart breaker, heart breaker
You stole the love right out of my heart
Heart breaker, heart breaker
I wanna tear your world apart

Heart breaker, heart breaker
Stole the love right out, stole the love right out

Doo, doo doo doo doo doo
Ah yeah, you shot the kid, he had no chance
Doo doo, doo doo do
Ah yeah, Ah yeah, you stuck pins right in her heart
Doo doo, doo doo do
You heart breaker, I wanna tear your world apart
Doo doo, doo doo do........
