[Verse 1]
I used to live in a two-room apartment
Neighbors knocking on my wall
Times were hard, I don't wanna knock it
I don't miss it much at all

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Well, 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

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental bridge]

[Chorus]
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

Thomas Earl “Tom” Petty (October 20, 1950 – October 2, 2017) was an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He was the frontman of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and was a founding member of the late 1980s supergroup The Traveling Wilburys and Mudcrutch.

He has recorded a number of hit singles with the Heartbreakers and as a solo artist, many of which remain heavily played on adult contemporary and classic rock radio. His music, and notably his hits, have become popular among younger generations as he continued to host sold-out shows right up until his death at the age of 66. Throughout his career, Petty and his collaborators have sold 60 million albums. In 2002, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
