Can't you see I love you?
Please don't break my heart in two
That's not hard to do cause I don't have a wooden heart

And if you say good-bye
Then I know that I would cry
Maybe I would die cause I don't have a woooden heart

There's no strings upon this love of mine

It was always you from the start
Treat me nice treat me good
Treat me like you really should
Cause I'm not made of wood and I don't have a wooden heart

Treat me nice treat me good treat me like you really should
Cause I'm not made of wood and I don't have a wooden heart
No I don't have a wooden heart

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.
