Written By: Benmont Tench, Tom Petty

Lyrics (Start at 0:19):

Take a look at my eyes
It’s been a long, long time
I used to feel so strong
When I knew you were mine

But since you let me down
I’m hard to be around
I don’t know what I’m gonna do
She could never be you
She could never be you

Uh-uh, uh-uh, huh
She could never be you

I guess it all comes around
Baby, please don’t cry
Love is gonna be a little reckless
Oh, lovers all have to stand trial

But since you let me go
There’s nothing going on
I don’t know what I’m gonna do
She could never be you
She could never be you
Uh-uh, uh-uh, huh
She could never be you

Yeah, she knows the rules
She plays the part
But she only has me
She don’t have my heart

She could never be you
She could never be you

So take a look at my eyes
No, you can’t hide the truth
No, you don’t get by on pride
It’ll run over you

But since you let me down
I’m hard to be around
I don’t know what I’m gonna do
She could never be you
She could never be you
Uh-uh, uh-uh, huh
She could never be you
Uh-uh, uh-uh, huh
She could never be you
Uh-uh, uh-uh, huh
She could never be you
