Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty - Stop Draggin' My Heart Around




In 1981, six years after joining Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks went solo for the first time with her debut album ‘Bella Donna’. A massive success, it sold more than five million copies in the U.S., topped the album charts and produced four hit singles, including her signature anthem, "Edge Of Seventeen." More platinum albums followed – ‘The Wild Heart’ (1983), ‘Rock A Little’ (1985), and ‘The Other Side Of The Mirror’ (1989).


In 2019, Stevie Nicks made history by becoming the first female artist inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice - first as a member of Fleetwood Mac in 1998, and most recently in recognition of an extraordinary solo career that spans nearly 40 years.





Lyrics


Baby, you come knocking on my front door

Same old line you used to use before

I said yeah, well, what am I supposed to do

I didn't know what I was getting into


So you've had a little trouble in town

Now you're keeping some demons down

Stop draggin' my

Stop draggin' my

Stop draggin' my heart around


It's hard to think about what you've wanted

It's hard to think about what you've lost

This doesn't have to be the big get even

This doesn't have to be anything at all


(I know you really want to tell me good-bye)

(I know you really want to be your own girl)


Baby, you could never look me in the eye

Yeah, you buckle with the weight of the words

Stop draggin' my

Stop draggin' my

Stop draggin' my heart around


There's people running 'round loose in the world

Ain't got nothin' better to do

Make a meal of some bright-eyed kid

You need someone looking after you


(I know you really want to tell me goodbye)

(I know you really want to be your own girl)


Baby, you could never look me in the eye

Yeah, you buckle with the weight of the words

Stop draggin' my

Stop draggin' my

Stop draggin' my heart around


Stop draggin' my heart around

Stop draggin' my heart around

Stop draggin' my heart around

Stop draggin' my heart around
