It reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 , becoming his last Top 40 hit . The track features candid lyrics regarding the songwriter 's desire for personal and professional autonomy . MTV and many radio stations aired a censored version of `` You Do n't Know How It Feels , '' taking the word `` roll '' out of `` let 's roll another joint '' , as well as a version that played the word `` joint '' backwards . A version replacing the word `` roll '' with `` hit '' was also made . Nevertheless , the music video won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Male Video in 1995 . The girl in the video is Raven Snow ; she also appeared in several episodes of Zalman King 's Red Shoe Diaries and the film Delta of Venus as lounge singer Leila .

In the song Petty sings about being in love with multiple girls on different drugs : marijuana , cocaine , LSD , beer , crystal meth , china white ( a slang term for heroin ) and coffee . In the chorus Petty states : `` Through ecstasy , crystal meth and glue / I found no drug compares to you / all these pills , all this weed / I dunno just what I need .
