This is such a great song. Tom just has this way of conveying a simple lyric in such a way that it is dripping with emotional salavation. Especially the last line in this case:
"...I might have chased a couple women around
All it ever got me was down
Then there were those that made me feel good
But never as good as I'm feeling right now
Baby you're the only one that's ever known how
To make me wanna live like I wanna live now"
The way he delivers those lines is so sincere. If HE wasn't singing them, perhaps we wouldn't believe them?
I've yet to hear a cover version of a Petty song I've liked. Maybe this is why? Tom's songs lend themselves uniquely to him and the heartbreakers.
Love this song---I got kind of pissed that he fooled around, but yep he's honest. I think that WAITING FOR ANYTHING WORTHWHILE IS THE HARDEST PART.....He's a genius.
