Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa

Hey baby, I'm talkin' to you
Stop yourself and listen
Some things you can never, never choose
Even if you try, yeah

You're banging your head again
Cause somebody won't let you in
One chance, one love
Your chance to let me know

We can't go on
Just running away
If we stay any longer
We will surely never get away

Whoa, oh, anything you want we can make it happen
Stand up and turn around
Never let them shoot us down
Never, never, never
Never run away

Hey baby you know it's true
Why you bother lying
When you know that you want it to
Don't you dare deny me

Walk those legs right over here
Give me what I'm dying for
One chance, one love
Hold me down, let me go

We can't go on
Just running away
If we wait any longer
We will surely never get away

Whoa, oh, anything you want we can make it happen
Stand up and turn around
Never let them shoot us down

Never, never (no), never
Never run away

Never, no never, never
Never run away

Hey baby, I'm talkin' to you
Stop yourself and listen
Some things you can never choose
Even if you try, yeah

You're banging your head again
Cause somebody won't let you in
One chance, one love
Your chance to let me know

We can't go on just running away
If we stay any longer
We will surely never get away

Whoa, never
Whoa, never

We can't go on, never
We can't go on, never

Whoa, never
Whoa, never

We can't go on, never
We can't go on, never

Whoa, never
Whoa, never

Heart

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.
