Little Queen Lyrics

You'd rather have wine than gin
And only the finest by your skin
Always running after time
Catching your fancy with rhymes
Shining on the front page again

Now you're hot on the presses today, little queen
Making your passion play, little queen
Nobody knows your melancholy mind (shine)
Little queen

Away from the sellers, the papers said
Your crown was tight and heavy on your head
But still you danced and you sang
All night the telephone rang
And music kept on playing from your pen

Now you're hot on the presses today, little queen
Making your passion play, little queen
Nobody knows your melancholy mind (shine)
Little queen, yeah
Little queen, yeah
Little queen, yeah
Little queen, ooh

You better shine
You better shine
You know, you better shine, shine, shine tonight

Ohh
(Raining) He knows your soul ain't free
(Raining) Ohh, and he feels you, little queen
Yeah

(Raining) Ohh, no
(Raining) I see you, I see you raining (Raining)
He knows you're raining (Rain)
Ohh, yeah

Now you're slipping away with your gypsy band
Now you're hot on your music and playing a winning hand
He was standing in the line, thinking how you moved his mind
And feeling like he held you in his hand

And you're hot on the presses today, little queen
Making your passion play, little queen
Nobody knows your melancholy mind (shine)
Little queen, yeah
Little queen, yeah
Little queen, yeah
Little queen

In the magazine, yeah
Little queen, yeah
Ooh, little queen
Oh, ohh

Ohh, no
Ooh, no, no, no, yeah
Little queen, yeah
Oh now

I am the "Little Queen". My dad bought this cassette for me long (I'm not saying how long) after he gave me my nickname at birth. This was one of the first cassettes I ever owned. I had CSNY and I had Neil Young, too. Does anyone even know what a cassette tape is anymore? Am I the only dinosaur on Song Meanings?

It is so much fun to be able to share music with my dad. My first concert was "The Bay City Rollers", then "The Charlie Daniels Band", then "Beach Boys". All with my dad. And many, many more. So priceless!

@streaker I like our post! I am a dad who shares music with his daughter. I nicknamed her "Queenie" when she was a baby, still call her that at times now that she is 16. We've been to a lot of concerts and music festivals together, and it means a lot to mean that music is an important part of her her life, because it is so important to me. I hope you are still sharing music with your father! Oh, and I have hundreds of cassettes. I'm sure I"m much older than...

This song is about a young Ann Wilson and those great early Heart songs!

Cover art for Little Queen lyrics by Heart

I think this song is about somebody that is thrust into a position of popularity and stardom that they are not quite ready for. They are very popular for a time, very successful, on the front page of magazines, etc. They find that level of fame to be overwhelming, but at the same time feel the need to capitalize on it while they are so hot. All the while the person is feeling isolated and sad. There is a special someone that wants to understand and be there, but the craziness of the situation also pushes love away or makes it impossible to sustain.

@Shazta I agree with your song meaning. Makes sense!

Thx! I appreciate you taking the time to tell me that.
