Heart

Released: August 20, 1983

Songwriter: Sue Ennis Ann Wilson

Producer: Keith Olsen

Say so long baby
Turn around
Loneliness hits you
Emptiness closes you down

Alone in his car
You think of his name
Took part of you with him
It won't be the same

You love to relive
The love that he gives
You love to recall
The rush of it all
He woos you so sweet
Then kicks on the heat
You're willing, you're hot
Give him all that you got

Lonely woman gets so cold
With no loverboy to hold
One more night she's on her own
Nobody meant to sleep alone

You're waiting too hard, counting the days
Till he comes home to lift you out of this haze

You dream all day, climb the walls all night
No satisfaction till he makes it right

So hard to kick
The memory addicting you
So hard to lick
The romance afflicting you
You love to relive the love that he gives
You love to recall the rush of it all

Lonely woman gets so cold
With no loverboy to hold
One more night she's on her own
Nobody meant to sleep alone

Heart, lead by Ann and Nancy Wilson, is considered a — or the — Grand Dame of hard rock and heavy metal.

Not only do they have more hit singles and AOR tracks than most other bands (songs we’d go over in detail but they’re listed on this very page in order of popularity) but in some ways deeper respect than many, both for their own groundbreaking talent and appeal and some unusual recognition thereof, including having been picked to perform Stairway to Heaven for Led Zeppelin themselves at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2012, making Robert Plant and company actually cry. Not Rush, not Aerosmith, nor any of the other bands beloved rock/metal that — along with Ann and Nancy’s band — followed Zeppelin by one generation. Just Heart.

Starting in the mid seventies, Heart forged a unique and powerful sound outstanding in their field, and was unusual in topping the charts well into their own second decade in the late eighties, becoming a staple of MTV’s rotation, albeit sometimes crammed by the industry into music videos that the bandmates despised and comment on to this day.
