Listen to Her Heart Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You think you're gonna take her away
With your money and your cocaine

You keep thinking that her mind is gonna change
But I know everything is okay

[Chorus]
She's gonna listen to her heart
It's gonna tell her what to do
She might need a lot of loving
But she don't need you

[Verse 2]
You want me to think that I'm being used
You want her to think it's over
You can't see it doesn't matter what you do
Buddy, you don't even know her

[Chorus]
She's gonna listen to her heart
It's gonna tell her what to do
She might need a lot of loving
But she don't need you

[Bridge]
And you just can't creep up behind her
And you can't understand that she's my girl
She's my girl
[Chorus]
Yeah, she's gonna listen to her heart
It's gonna tell her what to do
She might need a lot of loving
But she don't need you

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

In this song Petty is describing the battle for his Being as he becomes rich and famous.

Money and fame often lead people to, involuntarily, abandon their character and become a caricature.

This won’t happen to Petty because he is aware of this danger and is poised to not his Being as his life quickly changes.
