    I love to listen to
    I love to listen to
    I love to

    Take a girl like that and put her in a natural setting like a cafe for example.
    Along comes the boy and he's looking for trouble with a girl like that, with a girl like that.
    Who knows what they'll decide to do? Who knows what they'll get up to?
    I'd love to know, wouldn't you?

    [Chorus 1:]
    I love to, I love to listen to
    Love to, I love to listen to
    I love to, I love to listen to
    Love to, I love to

    [Chorus 2:]
    I love to listen to Beethoven
    I love to listen to Beethoven
    I love to listen to Beethoven
    I love to

    You think you know just what you want but you have used that weapon against me.
    Did I tell you I was lying by the way when I said I wanted a new mink coat?
    I was thinking of something sleek to wrap around my tender throat.
    I was dreaming like a Texan girl. A girl who thinks she's got the right to everything.
    A girl who thinks she should have something extreme.

    I love to listen to
    I love to listen to
    I love to listen to
    I love to

    [Chorus 2: x5] Writer/s: ANNIE LENNOX, DAVID ALLAN STEWART
