[Verse 1]
She laughed in my face, told me goodbye
Said, "Don't think about it, you can go crazy
Anything can happen, anything can end
Don't try to fight it, don't try to save me"

[Chorus 1]
She's a woman in love, she's a woman in love
And he's going to break her heart to pieces
She don't want to see
She's a woman in love, but it's not me

[Verse 2]
Well alright, do what you want
Don't try to talk, don't say nothing
She used to be the kind of woman you have and you hold
She could understand the problem, she let the little things go

[Chorus 2]
She's a woman in love, she's a woman in love
And he's going to break her heart to pieces
She don't want to know
She's a woman in love, she can't let go

[Verse 3]
Time after time, night after night
She would look up at me and say she was lonely
I don't understand the world today, I don't understand what she needed
I gave her everything, she threw it all away on nothin'

[Chorus 1]
She's a woman in love, she's a woman in love
And he's gonna break her heart to pieces
She don't wanna see
She's a woman in love, but it's not me

[Outro]
She's a woman in love

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

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.
