Looks like you got a little more to lose now
Little more at stake
I see you had a hard time
Living with the change
You got me on the line
Now trying to call your bluff
You just won't be satisfied
Too much ain't enough
It ain't enough
It ain't enough

Yeah, you're standing by the telephone
Waiting for the word
And ever since that bathroom scene
There's been a slight concern
I'm trying to make this easy, baby
You seem to like things rough
You just can't be satisfied
Too much ain't enough
It ain't enough

Too much ain't enough
Too much ain't enough
Come on baby, I'm down on my knees
Guess some little pill just can't be pleased

Little Miss Queen of Hearts
You're a strange thing
Why you want to make so vague?
I'm wandering through this mess you made
To see what I can save
I'm living on the line now
Trying to call your bluff
But you just won't be satisfied
Too much ain't enough
It ain't enough

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.
