One of the most underrated early Petty songs, this song was a majestic early
Petty moment. The soulful singing that stalks the verses and chorus is what makes this arguably the first real Petty ballad.
[Verse 1]
Well, the moon sank as the wind blew
And the street lights slowly died
Yeah, they call you the wild one
Said stay away from her
Said she couldn't love no one if she tried
[Chorus]
But then something I saw in your eyes
Told me right away
That you were gonna have to be mine
And the strangest feeling came over me down inside
No matter what it takes
I'll never get over how good it felt
When you finally held me
I will never regret, baby
Those few hours linger on in my head forever
[Verse 2]
Well, it's too bad, but I want you
To know I understand
Yeah, it's been a long time
But I don't mind
Yeah it's alright, I understand
[Chorus]
Because something I saw in your eyes
Told me right away
That you were gonna have to be mine
And the strangest feeling came over me down inside
I knew right away
I'll never get over how good it felt
When you finally kissed me
I will never regret, baby
Those few hours linger on in my head forever
[Outro]
And ever
