All right!

Well I know I'm only one in a hundred
And I know that you've heard this before
And I know that there's been many others
And no doubt that there'll be many more

But this dream has become an obsession
Cause I've held it inside for so long
All my friends say I should use discretion
But I know I'm just not that strong

And I can't fight it
I can't keep myself from wanting you
I can't fight it
No matter what you say, no matter what you do

'Cause you look so completely inviting
Standing there with your tongue in your cheek
Yes your lips are so fuckin' exciting
I can feel myself weak in the knees

And I know that you might put me under
Yes I know that I might get the squeeze
But I really can't think of no other
'Cause I know what I want and I need

(Chorus)

(Repeat 4th verse)

(Repeat 5th verse)

(Chorus)

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.
