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.

I Can’t Fight It Lyrics
Tom Petty
Well I know Im only one in a hundred
And I know that youve heard this before
And I know that theres been many others
And no doubt that therell be many more
But this dream has become an obsession
Cause Ive held it inside for so long
All my friends say I should use discretion
But I know Im just not that strong
And I cant fight it--i cant keep myself from wanting you
I cant 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 cant think of no other
Cause I know what I want and I need
And I cant fight it--i cant keep myself from wanting you
I cant 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 cant think of no other
Cause I know what I want and I need
And I cant fight it--i cant keep myself from wanting you
I cant fight it--no matter what you say, no matter what you do . . . .
