[Verse 1]
Your brains went black
When she took back her love
And put it out into the sun
The birds did fly
When the heavens all went dry
And the cigarettes were smoking by themselves

[Chorus]
She'll do anything
She'll do anything
She'll do anything
To make you feel like an asshole

[Verse 2]
Call her name
She looks the same as you
With question marks stretched across her skin
She dangles carrots
Makes you feel embarrassed
To be the fool you know you are

[Chorus]
She'll do anything
She'll do anything
She'll do anything
To make you feel like an asshole

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.
