Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Heart or about the 1970s in general.

The doctor said “Come back again next week, I think that you need me.”
All she did was cry
She wanted to die
“Doctor when can you see me?”
There’s a guy out there! Seems like he’s everywhere!
It just ain’t fair!

Heartless-Heartless! Never out of control
Heartless-Heartless! Sin in the name of rock and roll
Heartless-Heartless! He thinks it’s so cool to be cold
Never realize the way love dies when you crucify it’s soul

Late night in the penthouse room, the fire is burning
Shadows are warm, laying in his arms she answers his yearning
Her eyes are filled with sand

Heartless-Heartless! Never out of control
Heartless-Heartless! Sin in the name of rock and roll
Heartless-Heartless! He thinks it’s so cool to be cold
Never realize the way love dies when you crucify it’s soul

About Lyrics and Heartless by Heart

When you decide to study the lyrics to Heartless, you're looking at the words, verses and background chorus from the 1978 song by Heart. Some of the lyrics to Heartless have clear meanings and some contain metaphorical references. Like most songs, only Heart and their collaborators know the full story behind any of the their songs.

You can understand the lyrics to Heartless if you take apart the structure of the words. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Heartless" means the words set to the music of Heartless, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Heart. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Heartless and the lyrics to Heartless are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Heart who came here looking just for the lyrics to Heartless, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
