    Lyrics »

I used to live in a two-room apartment
Neighbors knockin' on my wall
Times were hard, I don't wanna knock it
I don't miss it much at all

Oh yeah I'm alright I just feel a little lonely tonight
I'm okay, most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight

I used to need your love so badly
Then I came to live with it
Lately I get a faraway feeling
And the whole thing starts again

Oh yeah I'm alright I just feel a little lonely tonight
I'm okay, most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight

I used to need your love so badly
Then I came to live with it
Lately I get a faraway feeling
And the whole thing starts again

Comments(Demo) Recorded at: Gone Gator One, Los Angeles, CA. Additional recording and mixed at: Johnny Yuma Recordings, Burbank, CA. Stevie Nicks appears courtesy of Modern Records A home demo cut for Southern Accents of a tune later re-recorded and issued on Full Moon Fever. The Fever version is good but this version, with Stevie Nicks, is even better. "Right after I wrote it Stevie drifted into my house," Petty says. "It was very late at night and I played her the demo and she said, 'Wow, what a great song' and we sat around singing it over and over into this ghetto blaster. As soon as it got early enough that I could call the musicians, I got the guys to come over and we went downstairs in the studio that I had in my home then and cut this version. It was never mixed, what with me breaking my hand and all that."
