Dinle

"Dinle" ("Listen") was the Turkish entrant to the Eurovision Song Contest 1997 in Dublin, Ireland. It was composed by Levent Çoker and Mehtap Alnıtemiz, and was performed by Şebnem Paker in Turkish. This was the second time that Paker had competed at Eurovision, having represented Turkey also at the 1996 contest with "Beşinci Mevsim".

On the night it was performed second, following Cyprus's Hara & Andreas Konstantinou singing "Mana Mou" and preceding Norway's Tor Endresen with "San Francisco". At the close of the voting it had received 121 points, placing third in a field of 25. This was Turkey's best position in the contest until their win in 2003, and is still the best position of a Turkish language entry at Eurovision as of 2010.

It was succeeded as Turkish representative at the 1998 contest with Tüzmen and "Unutamazsın".

Mixed Up Mess of a Heart

by: Danni Leigh

Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart
You let a little bitty man go and tear you all apart
I warned you a thousand times
You wouldn't listen, paid me no mind
You poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart
I watched him buy his ticket in Charlotte, North Carolina
I heard him say, "One way, please to Denver"
He's goin' to meet that other girl
Won't do us no good to cry
'Cause she's wearin' his ring on her finger
Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart
You let a little bitty man go and tear you all apart
I warned you a thousand times
You wouldn't listen, paid me no mind
You poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart
I watched him tip the porter
As he stepped aboard that midnight train
Bound to take him far away forever
I watched the tail light fade away
Knowin' he was gone to stay
I just wish this broken heart was with him
Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart
You let a little bitty man go and tear you all apart
I warned you a thousand times
You wouldn't listen, paid me no mind
You poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart
Oh, you poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart
You let a little bitty man go and tear you all apart
I warned you a thousand times
You wouldn't listen, paid me no mind
You poor, broke, mixed up mess of a heart
