Thomas Earl Petty (born 20 October 1950 in Gainesville, Florida) is an American musician. Petty is a graduate of Gainesville High School. Petty did not have any musical aspirations before Elvis Presley visited his hometown. After working with his early bands The Sundowners, The Epics, and Mudcrutch (which also included future Heartbreakers members Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench) he began his recording career with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers when the band broke onto the national music scene with their 1976 self-titled debut album. Still, it took America a full year to catch up to the album.

Don’t Bring Me Down Lyrics
Tom Petty
When you complain and criticize
I feel like nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like givin up
Because my best just aint good enough
Girl I want to provide for you
And do the things you want me to
But oh, oh no
Dont bring me down
Said darlin, darlin, darlin, darlin
Oh, oh, no
Dont bring me down
The sacrifices I will make
Im ready to give as well as take
Something I need is your respect
Something I cant take is your neglect
And more than anything I need your love
Until its easy to rise above
And oh, oh, no
Dont bring me down
Said darlin, darlin, darlin, dont hurt me
Oh, oh, no
Dont bring me down
When you complain and criticize
I feel like nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like givin up
Because my best just aint good enough
Girl I want to provide for you
Do the things that you want me to
But oh, oh, no
Dont bring me down
Said darlin, darlin, darlin, Im beggin you
Oh, oh, no
Dont bring me down
Said darlin, darlin, darlin, darlin
Oh, please, oh, no
Dont bring me down
Darlin, darlin, stop it, darlin
Oh, oh, no
Dont bring me down
