Ryan Adams - My Wrecking Ball, from the self-titled album "Ryan Adams".

Great lyrics!
There's something simplistic about the lyrics:
Hey, you’re my wrecking ball / won’t you come and maybe knock me down
Hey, you’re my wrecking ball / won’t you come and knock me down, / come and knock me down / Come and knock me down tonight

But - it's not that easy and simple, if you listen to the rest of the lyrics. It never is.

My Wrecking Ball

Driving through the streets tonight
It's hot, I’ve got the windows down
I wish I could call you, I wish you were still around

Nothing much left in the tank
Somehow this thing still drives
Think I forgot what it needed but somehow still survive
And all the walls we built they must come down

But hey, you’re my wrecking ball won’t you come and maybe knock me down
Hey, you’re my wrecking ball won’t you come and maybe knock me down
Hey, you’re my wrecking ball won’t you come and knock me down, come and knock me down
Come and knock me down tonight

Lying in the bed at night
Feeling like I’m somebody else
My thoughts inside my head get lost inside the haunted house
Everyone I used to know left their dreams by the door
I accidentally kick ‘em and talk until you’re still not sure
If you want to sell them out at all

Well hey, you’re my wrecking ball won’t you come and maybe knock me down
Hey, you’re my wrecking ball won’t you come and maybe knock me down
Hey, you’re my wrecking ball won’t you come and maybe knock me down
Hey, you’re my wrecking ball won’t you come and knock me down, come and knock me down
Come and knock me down tonight
Come and knock me down, come and knock me down, come and knock me down tonight
Come and knock me down, come and knock me down, come and knock me down tonight
Come and knock me down, come and knock me down, come and knock me down tonight

Driving through the streets tonight
It's hot, I’ve got the windows down
I wish I could call you, I wish you were still around
