Listen, pretty baby, one of these days
Your pretty head's gonna turn my way
Honey, oh baby, you just wait
One of these nights you're gonna call my name

Oh yeah, one of these days
Girl, you better believe
Honey, wait and see
Yeah, you better believe
You're gonna think about me
You're gonna think about me

Your boyfriend's got a big red car
Got a compact disc, got a VCR
I can't do no disco dance
But I can sure love you, baby, if you give me a chance

Oh yeah, one of these days
Girl, you better believe
Honey, wait and see
Yeah, you better believe
You're gonna think about me
You're gonna think about me

I said oh pretty baby, is it something I've said?
Tell me why, little baby
I said, why must you play with my head?

Listen little girl, I said one of these days
Your pretty head's gonna turn my way
One of these days, I know I'm right
You're going to look for me in the middle of the night

Oh yeah, one of these days
Girl, you better believe
Honey, wait and see
Yeah, you better believe
You're gonna think about me
You're gonna think about me
You're gonna think about me
Yea think about me

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.
