Hope You Never

Tom Petty · She's The One [1996]

I hope you never fall in love,

Hope you never get your heart broken.

I hope you never fall in love with

Somebody like you.

I hope you never give a damn,

Hope you never lose your perspective.

I hope you never fall in love with

Somebody like you.

And I wish you well,

I wish you everything and more.

Forgive my ignorance,

I was starting to ramble on and on

Starting to ramble on and on.

I hope you never need no one,

Hope you treasure your independence.

I hope you never fall in love with

Somebody like you.

And I wish you well,

I wish you everything and more.

Forgive my ignorance,

I was starting to ramble on and on

Starting to ramble on and on.

I hope you never give a damn,

Hope you never get your heart broken.

I hope you never fall in love with

Somebody like you.

I hope you never fall in love with

Somebody like you.
