Waiting for Tonight - Tom Petty

I went walking down the boulevard
Past the skateboards and the beggars
I was out looking in the windows
Just out walking, letting my mind roam
If she hung around too much I might take her for granted
But when I was away, she seemed an angel
The only one who really cared about me
The only one without an angle
For so long Ive been lonely
Now Im too weak to fight

Ive been waiting for tonight
Ive been waiting for tonight

(good night my love, sleep tight my love)

Yes and I had a little time to kill
As I crossed the parking lot
And I was feeling lucky to have a place to go
Yeah my nerves were feeling shot
For so long Ive been weary
There was no end in sight

Ive been waiting for tonight
Ive been waiting for tonight

(good night my love, sleep tight my love)

Oh Ive been waiting round
For a night like this
Yeah I felt it coming down
Since her first kiss

(good night my love)

Yeah and Im wrestling with my overcoat
Yeah Im fighting with my thoughts
Im gonna trust my intuition
Im gonna hope I dont get lost
For some time Ive been lonely
Ive been too weak to fight
Ive been waiting for tonight
Ive been waiting for tonight

(good night my love, sleep tight my love)
