Heart

If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Cause baby, baby, my time is much too expensive
And I don't want no little boy

But if you, if you are serious
Don't go playing with my heart, it makes me furious
And if want me to love you
Ooo baby, I will, ooo yeah I will

Tell it like it is
Oh yeah, just let your conscience be your guide
You know, deep down inside
I believe you love me, just forget your foolish pride

I think life's too short for all this sorrow
We might be here today and gone tomorrow
I might as well just get what I want
I wanna live, I wanna live

Tell it like it is
Don't be ashamed now let your conscience be your guide
Ooo yeah deep down inside
I believe you love me, just forget your foolish pride
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh

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.
