About There's the Girl

"There's the Girl" is a song recorded by the American rock band, Heart. It was composed by Holly Knight and Heart band member Nancy Wilson. "There's The Girl" was released in a remixed version as the third single from Heart's ninth studio album, Bad Animals. Knight is known as a very successful songwriter who was responsible for penning many hit singles during the 1980s. Like Heart's 1986 #1 single "These Dreams", the lead vocals on "There's the Girl" were performed by Nancy Wilson, rather than Ann Wilson, the usual lead singer for the group (though most fans did not realize this until the video was released or they saw the song performed live). The single climbed to #12 on the U. S. Billboard Hot 100 and was also a Top-40 single on the UK Singles Chart, where it peaked at #34.

You're a polished diamond
Now you're feeling kinda rough
Yes I know how long you've been searching
For the perfect touch
You better hear what I say
I can tell your eyes are just about to
give you away

Cause there's the girl that you were after
Feel your heart beating faster now
There's the girl you were after
Can you say that you don't want her anymore

Just take my word now
Cause you know it's true
she ain't good enough
for the likes of you
You better hear what I say
I can tell your eyes are just about to
give you away

Cause there's the girl you were after
Feel your heart beating faster now
There's the girl that you were after
And all this time you can't get past her
There's the girl you were after
Broken glass, complete disaster
There's the girl you were after
Can you say that you don't want her anymore

I believed you once
When you explained
That it wasn't so tough
To forget her name

Cause there's the girl that you were after
Feel your heart beating faster now
There's the girl that you were after
And all the time you can't get past her
There's the girl that you were after
Broken glass complete disaster
There's the girl that you were after
Can you say that you don't want her anymore

There's the girl
There's the girl
There's the girl
There's the girl (can you say that you don't want her anymore)
