Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers – For Real Lyrics

She probably works in a restaurant
That’s what her mama did
But I don’t know if she ever really coulda put up with it
Or maybe she still hangs in a night club
‘Cause sometimes she used to sing
But I don’t know if it ever amounted to anything

Said listen, honey
Wherever you are tonight
I wish you the best of everything in the world
And honey, I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for

Yeah, it’s a rough way of living
And it’s a hard price to pay
But she looked around and she
Just couldn’t see it any other way
Being good looking had it’s limits
And the rich all seem so bored
Well, some said they were happy but they
Never really looked sure

So listen, baby
Wherever you are tonight
I wish you the best of everything in the world
And honey, I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for

Yeah, it’s over before you know it
It all goes by so fast
And bad nights take forever
And the good nights don’t ever seem to last
And man, we never had the real thing
But sometimes we used to kiss
Back then we didn’t understand
What we were caught up in

So listen, honey
Wherever you are tonight
I wish you the best of everything in the world
And honey, I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for

Yeah, baby
Wherever you are tonight
I wish you the best of everything in the world
And honey, I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for
