"Here Comes My Girl" lyrics

"Here Comes My Girl"
(originally by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers)
(from "Bad Monkey" soundtrack)


You know sometimes, I don't know why
But this old town just seems so hopeless
I ain't really sure but it seems
I remember the good times
Were just a little bit more in focus

But when she puts her arms around me
I can somehow rise above it
Yeah, man when I got that little girl
Standing right by my side
You know, I can tell the whole wide world
To shove it, hey

Here comes my girl
Here comes my girl
Yeah, and she looks so right
She is all I need tonight

Every now and then I get down to the end of the day
I'll just stop, ask myself
Why I've done it?
It just seems so useless to have to work so hard
And nothing ever really seem to come from it

And then she looks me in the eye and says
"We're gonna last forever and ever"
And you know I can't begin to doubt it
No, 'cause it just feels so good and so free and so right
I know we ain't never going to change our minds about it, hey

Here comes my girl
Here comes my girl
Yeah, and she looks so right
She is all I need tonight

Watch her walk
Yeah every time, it seems like there ain't nothing left no more
I find myself having to reach out and grab hold of something
Yeah, I just catch myself wondering, and waiting, and worrying
About some silly little thing that don't add up to nothing

And then she looks me in the eye, and says
"We're gonna last forever and ever"
And you know I can't begin to doubt it
No, 'cause it just feels so good and so free and so right
I know we ain't never gonna change our minds about it, hey

Here comes my girl
Here comes my girl
Yeah, and she looks so right
She is all I need tonight

That's right
That's right
