Oh what would I do
Oh what would I do babe
Honey I have this feeling
It's never ever ever explained
Yeah I'm afraid a part of my heart
Would always feel misunderstood babe
I would never know honey
I never meant to drive you away
What's wrong?

I want to make that connection, that connection to you
I want to make that connection, that connection to you

What would I give if I could have you now
Baby what would I give to see your smiling face again
You know there's nothing I would not do
No river I would not swim, no mountain I would not climb baby
If I could have you right here once again

I want to make that connection, that connection to you
I want to make that connection, that connection to you

Tell me baby is it something I might have said?
Is it something I might have done wrong to change your mind?
Tell me baby is it something I've have said?
Is it something I could've done?
Honey somehow let me right all your wrongs

I want to make that connection, that connection to you
I want to make that connection, that connection to you

Oh what would I give if you would tell me just one thing
Honey what would I give if you would stroke my hand with your brow
Or whisper sweet things into my ear I would smile like a baby
I would be happy like a child if I could have you right here, right here, right here
Right here with me now

I want to make that connection, that connection to you
I want to make that connection, yes I do
I want to make that connection, that connection to you
I want to make that connection, what's wrong?
I want to make that connection, that connection to you

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.
