The Mad Hatter Of Southern Rock


The sixth studio album by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers was released forty years ago today.  It's not my favorite Tom Petty album, but its first single spawned one of my favorite music videos of the decade.
Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Whatever you're looking for
Don't come around here no more

I've given up, stop
I've given up, stop
I've given up on waiting any longer
I've given up on this love getting stronger

I don't feel you anymore
You darken my door
Whatever you're looking for
Don't come around here no more

I've given up, stop
I've given up, stop
I've given up, you tangle my emotions
I've given up, honey please, admit it's over

Stop walking down my street
Don't come around here no more
Who did you expect to meet?
Don't come around here no more
Whatever you're looking for
Don't come around here no more

Honey please
Don't come around here no more
Whatever you're looking for
Don't come around here no more
