[Chorus]
In the night, I hear 'em talk, the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
Oh... how could you be so heartless?
[Verse 1]
How could you be so, cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talkin' to me though
You know need to watch the way you talkin' to me you know
I mean after all the things that we've been through
I mean after all the things we got into
Yo, I know of some things that you ain't told me
Yo, I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna get me back and you gon' show me
So you walk around like you don't know me
You got a new friend, well, I got homies
But in the end, it's still so lonely
[Chorus]
In the night, I hear 'em talk, the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
Oh... how could you be so heartless?
[Verse 2]
How could be so Dr. Evil, you bringin' out the side of me that I don't know
I decided we weren't gon' speak so
Why we up 3 A.M. on the phone?
Why does she be so mad at me fo'?
Homie, I don't know, she's hot and cold
I won't stop, I won't mess my groove up 'cause I already know how this thing go
You run and tell your friends that you're leavin' me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple months, then you gon' see
You'll never find nobody better than me
[Chorus]
'Cause in the night, I hear 'em talk, the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
Oh... how could you be so heartless?
[Bridge]
Talk and talk and talk and talk
Baby, let's just knock it off
They don't know what we been through
They don't know 'bout me and you
So I got somethin' new to see
And you just gon' keep hatin' me
And we just gon' be enemies
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
And you can't make it right
I'm gon' take off tonight into the night
[Chorus]
In the night, I hear 'em talk, the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far far far, he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
Oh, how could you be so heartless?
Oh, how could you be so heartless?
Oh
[Outro]
'Cause in the night, I hear 'em talk, the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless
Heartless (Studio Version) was written by Kanye West & Kid Cudi & Malik Yusef & No I.D..
On choosing to perform the song on his American Idol season:
Adam [Lambert] and I would always run ideas by each other and I asked him, ‘What if I did “Heartless” by Kanye?’ and he said, ‘I think it would be genius.’ That gave me the confidence to run with it. And seriously, once I got into it, it...
