I can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind
I can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind

Everybody'd try to tell
But no I wouldn't listen
I'd go ahead, put my arm around her
I had to squeeze her, I had to kiss her

Now I can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind
Oh I can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind

If I said go out she'd daydream
Didn't mean a thing to me
It's the kind of thing I thought might never happen
You see I thought I was invincible, I couldn't see why

You can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind
No can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind

It's the kind of thing boy, you think could never happen
My friends would say, "stay 'way from her"
I said, "boy, have you kissed it? boy, have you seen her? "
I could let her hear their words

No I can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind
Can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind

I can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind
I can't get her out
Can't get her out of my mind

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.
