Waiting For Tonight

Tom Petty · Other Songs - 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, I've been lonely

Now I'm too weak to fight



I've been waiting for tonight

(Good night my love)

I've been waiting for tonight

(Sleep tight my love)



Yes and I had a little time to kill

As I crossed the parking lot

And I was feeling lucky just to have a place to go

Yeah my nerves were feeling shot



For so long, I've been weary

There was no end in sight



I've been waiting for tonight

(Good night my love)

I've been waiting for tonight

(Sleep tight my love)



Oh I've been waiting 'round

(Oh)

For a night like this

(Yeah)

Yeah I felt it coming down

(Coming down)

Since her first kiss



(Good night my love)



Yeah and I'm wrestling with my overcoat

Yeah I'm fighting with my thoughts

I'm gonna trust my intuition

I'm gonna hope I don't get lost



For some time, I've been lonely

I've been too weak to fight



I've been waiting for tonight

(Good night my love)

I've been waiting for tonight

(Sleep tight my love)



I've been waiting for tonight

(Good night my love)

I've been waiting for tonight

(Sleep tight my love)



(Good night my love)

(Sleep tight my love)

(Good night my love)

(Sleep tight my love)
