There is something, little darling
That I want you to know
I love you, yeah I need you
Every night, everyday goes so slow
How many more days 'til I see you again?
How many more days 'til I see you again?

Yes, I remember you smiling
I remember you feeling mighty fine
I remember your kiss, I remember your touch
I can't get you out of my mind
Little girl, how many more days?
I want to see you again
How long will that take?
I want to see you again

Oh babe can't you see?
I'll be honest with you
Please don't lie, babe, please don't smile
Please don't play around with this heart of mine
Can't you see? It's something I want, babe
It's more than that, it's something I need
Oh little darling, please be truthful
Please be faithful, please come now to me
Oh baby, I need to see you again

Please remember, little lover
I'll give the good to you
Please remember, my little lover
I'll be good to you
But how many more days
'Til I can see you again?
How long will that take me?
I need to see you again
Oh, how many more days?
I need to see you again
Please don't make me wait
I want to see you again

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.
