listen

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'pay attention' is the definition.
(to listen to someone)

'something false about street name' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'street' could be 'st' (abbreviation) and 'st' is found in the answer.
'name' could be 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms) and 'n' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'lie' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'there's' is the link.
