Heart of mine
Be still
You can play with fire
But you'll get the bill
Don't let him know
Don't let him know that you love him
Oh, don't be a fool, don't be blind
Heart of mine

Heart of mine
Go back home
You've got no reason to wander
No reason to roam
Don't let him see
Don't let him see that you need him
Oh, don't push yourself over the line
Heart of mine

Heart of mine
Go back where you been
The only trouble with you
Is if you let him in
Don't let him hear
Don't let him hear where you're goin'
Oh, I'm tired of ties that bind
Heart of mine

Heart of mine
So malicious and so full of guile
I give you an inch
And you take a mile
Don't let yourself fall
Don't let yourself stumble
Oh, do the time, don't do the crime
Heart of mine

Heart of mine

Oh, oh, oh

Heart of mine

No disrespect but this is pretty pedestrian without Norah.
What you say may be true but since Peter Malick is 27 years older than Derek Trucks, it could be argued Trucks was influenced by Malick. SurfDoc wrote:

On third listen. Is pretty good really. Simply with nurture! Xx 10.
It's all fun until somebody gets the bill

This is the kind of Norah Jones I like. It's even a bit rare.  Belt it out a little upbeat, those soft and a bit sad songs don't cut it for me. 
 
Gotta agree.   The edgy raw voice is better than the whispy stuff.

I'm in agreement with you on the 'cliché' part - heck I went 7→8 and then nearly immediately 8→7 - still something I like in her voice so I'll just keep it at 7.  That is until [enter cliché here] - still - Long Live RP!!

Can't agree with the suck part (pretty sure you're kidding..:P), but definitely concur the guitar sounds exactly like Derek Trucks.

blech. an impersonation of an impersonator and I'm tired of that awful Duane Allman impersonator backin her up.
8 )       finally she's really using that super voice of hers!
I bought this CD— after I heard this cut on RP a while ago... it is great stuff...

I sometimes think Norah Johns feels more like a session musician than a solo artist. But when she has a good song to work with she can really deliver.



 
I'm with you on that, big man. Love her.

Less than the sum of its parts.
I've tried not to like Norah Jones, given the meteoric success of her first pop effort.

I have failed.  She's really good and versatile as others have noted.
I LOVE the many voices of Norah Jones! She can do a bluesy number like this, or sing a smoky ballad like "Come Away With Me," or be completely off the wall with El Madmo and "Rock Your Balls Off." (I prefer her in her El Madmo realm - SO funny!)
Despite the nearly universal understanding that most Dylan songs are better done by others, or at least that in most cases where they have been covered, there is at least one that far outdoes his, I much prefer his take. Sometimes his lyrics become clearer or more meaningful, sometimes the music is better; neither seems to be true here. 
Nice.
It ended too soon. Otherwise it's perfect. I'm tempted to change my ten to a nine, but no, I'll leave it there. Just for the record: the first four ratings were seven, eight, nine, and ten.
It wasn't until the 2nd verse that I recognized this as the Dylan song.

Reminds me of the Loading Zone...mmmmmm...nice song.
