The Wild One, Forever Lyrics

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers The Wild One, Forever

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 could love no one if she tried

But then somethin' I saw
In your eyes told me right away
That you were gonna have to be mine
When 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'll never regret
Baby those few hours will grow in my head forever

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 all right I understand

Because somethin' I saw
In your eyes told me right away
You were gonna have to be mine
When 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'll never regret
Baby those few hours will grow in my head forever, forever
