You're a heartbreaker,
You're a love faker,
A heartbreaker playing with fire.
You're a tear snatcher,
You're a quarrel patcher,
But you can't break my heart anymore,
For I just found someone else who's sure to take your place.
Someone I can always trust and to fill this empty space.

You're a heartbreaker,
You're a love faker,
But you can't break my heart anymore.

You're a smooth talker,
You're a real cool walker,
But now you have talked out of turn.
You're a high stepper,
You're a eye-catcher,
But you won't catch my glances anymore.
For I just found someone else who's sure to take your place,
Someone I can always trust and to fill this empty space.

You're a heartbreaker
You're a love faker,
But you can't break my heart anymore.

You're a heart breaker
You're a love faker,
A heartbreaker playing with fire.
You're a tear snatcher,
You're a quarrel patcher,
But you can't break my heart anymore.
For I've just found someone else who's sure to take your place.
Someone I can always trust and to fill this empty space.

You're a heartbreaker,
You're a love faker,
But you can't break my heart anymore

1954, SUN 215, Milkcow Blues Boogie / You're a Heartbreaker

Sun Studios, Memphis, December 20, 1954

Contrary to previously published reports, You're a Heartbreaker was not originally recorded by Elvis. This Charles (Jack) Alvin Sallee tune was written in 1952 and originally recorded by Jimmy Heap (Capitol 2294) late that year. His record was released in January 1953. Two months later, a version by Ray Anthony's orchestra, with vocal by Jo Ann Greer, was issued (Capitol 2349).

Elvis recorded You're a Heartbreaker on December 10, 1954, at Sun Records. The single release did not chart nationally, but it was the first Elvis song for which sheet music was issued.
