She's a big star
And she's burning bright
Losing her religion each and every night
She's the real thing
And she'll tell you so
And lots of other things you don't wanna know
(Oh! Oh! Oh!)

Such a drama queen
A hot mess
Underneath her temper, underneath her dress
Like a raw flame
She got a secret mind
Getting your attention each and every time
(Oh! Oh! Oh!)

Beautiful broken
Beautiful broken

She's beautiful and broken
Just like you and me
Just like you and me

Such a naughty girl
Threw her body down
Screaming for her daddy but he's not around
Absolution
Just a shot away
She don't know she gotta pay to play
(Oh! Oh! Oh!)

Beautiful broken
Beautiful broken
Beautiful broken

Beautiful broken
She's broken
Ooh, beautiful broken
Beautiful broken

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.
