Strange voice on the telephone
Telling me I better leave you alone
Why don't somebody say what's going on
Uh oh I think I been through this before

Looks like I'm the fool again
Looks like I'm the fool again
I don't like it
I don't like it
Look out!

You never said you had no number two
I need to know about it if you do
If two is one I might as well be three
It's good to see you think so much of me

(Chorus)

I don't like it (x3)

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.
