Work twenty years and they'll take care of you
They'll buy you a diamond, they'll send you on a cruise, yeah
Give it all your money, give it all your time
Then wake up one morning and wonder why

Baby I
I've had enough
Let me up
I've had enough

I believe you, baby, I know you wouldn't lie
Like a dog won't bark, like a bird won't fly
Yeah, pretty baby, you're a weapon with eyes
I know what you want, but it's a surprise

Baby I
I've had enough
Let me up
I've had enough

Yeah, yeah, be honest with me
Honey, am I what you thought I would be?

Will you tell me you love me, baby? You be true
I know I believe you, but I don't know why I do
I woke up this morning, there was a car in the drive
I didn't recognize it, baby, who was that guy?

Baby I
I've had enough
Let me up
I've had enough

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I tell you
This is not a question of humility here
I've had enough
Let me up
I've had enough
Let me up
I've had enough
Let me up
I've had enough
I've had enough

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.
