I'm all mixed up
I'm all mixed up about
All mixed up about you
Yeah, it's having the effect on me
Pulling and directing me
I don't know what I'm gonna do

And no, I can't find no reason
To explain the way that I feel
I remember things being clearer
At one time the things were more real

Honey, I'm all mixed up
I'm all mixed up about
All mixed up about you
Yeah, it's having the effect on me
Pulling and directing me
I don't know what I'm gonna do

Oh, I'm not lookin' for sympathy
Lord, I'm just frightened by this apathy
Like footsteps way in back of me
On a narrow street of stone

I'm all mixed up about you
I'm all mixed up about you

And if time will answer all questions
Then perhaps a film will be shown
Everyone could mail-order tickets
Yeah, you could sell a lot of shirts for the last picture show

Baby, I'm all mixed up
I'm all mixed up about
All mixed up about you
It's like something is testing me
Pulling and directing me
I don't know what I'm gonna do

Honey, I'm all mixed up
I'm all mixed up about
All mixed up about you

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – an L.A.-based gang of sharp-dressed garage-rock refugees from Gainsville, Florida – released their debut LP in November 1976, featuring two tracks which are now part of their long list of hits, “Breakdown” and “American Girl.”

Since that first LP in ‘76, the band’s style has epitomized and largely defined the American “heartland rock” movement – a vintage-guitar twang, hard lyric truth, and searing vocal attitude.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have been nominated for 17 Grammy awards and sold more than 80 million records worldwide, making them one of the world’s best-selling bands of all-time.
