Day Two in the Tom Petty retrospective brings us to the 1978 album You’re Gonna Get It.
By all accounts, this album was a continuation of the band’s debut, adding little to the mix but effectively carrying the torch of harmonic garage rock that Petty and the Heartbreakers had introduced a couple of years earlier.
The exceptions are the album’s two modest hits — ‘I Need to Know’ and ‘Listen to Her Heart.’ Grouped together at the center of the record, they form the core around which the rest of the blues-rock tracks are placed.
According to Wikipedia, Petty wrote today’s SOTD as a response to Ike Turner hitting on his wife. Probably not appropriate to use the phrases “Ike Turner” and “hitting” in the same sentence.
With your money and your cocaine
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
Can’t you see it don’t matter what you do
Buddy you don’t even know her
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
And you just can’t creep up behind her
And you can’t understand that she’s my girl
She’s my girl
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
Meet Me In Montauk 
Cool background story. Gotta love Wikipedia:)
Of the two hits from this album, I like this one better than “I Need to Know,” which I have always found to be a bit too repetitive.
Wonder what happened to this wife. He’s not still with her, is he? This album isn’t on my radar at all, but I have heard this song (probably in concert?), and I like it very much.
