LISTEN TO HER HEART
by: Tom Petty & The HeartbreakersYou think you're gonna take her away
With your money and your cocaine
You keep thinkin' that her mind is gonna change
But I know everything is okay
She's gonna listen to her heart
It's gonna tell her what to do
She might need a lot of lovin'
But she don't need you
You want me to think that I'm being used
You want her to think it's over

But she don't need you
And you just can't creep up behind her
And you can't understand that she's my girl
She's my girl
Yeah, she's gonna listen to her heart
It's gonna tell her what to do
She might need a lot of lovin'
