I saw you walking down the street with him
You know I almost could've died
I didn't know you had a second friend
I never thought you woulda' lied
I guess somebody else has knocked upon your door
See somebody else's socks lying on your floor
And I saw you on street with him
You know I almost coulda' died

I never said that I was all that choice
I never said I was a dream
I didn't think you'd pull that second voice
It seems a little too cheap
I see somebody else's smile cut across your face
I see somebody else has taken you some other place
Yeah I saw you on the street with him
You know I really coulda' died

I didn't know you had another man, I didn't know
I thought I was in
I didn't know you had another plan, I didn't know
I thought I was in on the action
I thought I was ace in the hole
But I guess I was wrong

I see somebody else's smile cut across your face
I see somebody else has taken you some other place
Yeah I saw you on the street with him
You know I really coulda' died

I didn't know you had another man, I didn't know
I thought I was in
I didn't know you had another plan, I didn't know
I thought I was in on the action
I thought I was ace in the hole
But I guess I was wrong

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.
