Lyrics:

[Instrumental intro:]

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

[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

I used to need your love so badly
But I can't live with it
Lately, I get the funniest feelin'
And the whole thing starts again

[Chorus:]
Oh yeah, I'm alright
I just feel a little lonely with everythin'
I'm okay most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight

[Instrumental bridge]

I used to need your love so badly
But I can't live with it
Lately I get the funniest feelin'
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

The whole thing starts again
I just feel a little lonely with everythin'
I'm okay most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight

[Instrumental outro]

Songwriter: Tom Petty
Music Producers: Mike Campbell and Jeff Lynne
Video Producer: Eleanor Plant

This is a demo version of the song, and was never released as part of a studio album.

In a 2005 interview, Petty said this about the song:
"I wanted it to be a solo. I had never really pictured it being a duet. But Stevie was there and I showed her the song. And she liked it, and sang along on the demo. Yeah, I had written that for "Southern Accents", and it had laid around all that time. We were going through songs really fast, and Jeff said, 'Have you got anything laying around?' And I said, 'Well, I've got this one thing.' I cut a demo with Stevie, just the two of us. That was the only thing I had, just that demo. Jeff made it into a great record. The way the guitar and drums kick into a different rhythm after the second chorus is us doing our Buddy Holly thing."

This version is, imo, better than the version that made the album. I have always pictured Steve Earle and Emmy Lou Harris doing a killer version.
