It’s Alright

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She was so attractive Her parents, so protective Met a little boy with a Lexus They made out on a mattress She thought he loved her But now he don't even bother Had a little baby named Donna But Donna ain't got no father [Verse 2] Seventeen, candy curls All they saw was a dumb young girl Spend a little dough, talk a little game Look what that got you, babe She was young and she didn't know All they play on the radio All they show on the video How could she say no? [Chorus] It's alright, it's okay You ain't gotta explain a thing to me I know what it's like lookin' for someone to love It's okay, it's alright You can come stay with me tonight You can cry on my shoulder (You can cry on my shoulder) So baby, just come on over It's alright (It's alright), it's okay It's alright [Verse 3] Now Brenda lived in Michigan Always seemed a little different Met another girl at the college (The college) And came out of the closet All her friends she had before They don't come around no more She feels so abandoned Won't even leave her apartment, oh [Verse 4] Hates her life, hates herself Just wanna be like everybody else Can't go home (Can't go home) What will they say? She went away [Verse 5] She was young and innocent She gave in to prejudice No one came to her defense Haven't seen her since [Chorus] It's alright, it's okay You ain't gotta explain a thing to me I know what it's like lookin' for someone to love (Oh) It's okay, it's alright You can come stay with me tonight You can cry on my shoulder (You can cry on my shoulder) So baby, just come on over It's alright (It's alright), it's okay It's alright It's alright (It's alright), it's okay It's alright, it's okay [Bridge] It's okay if you wanna stay It's alright if you wanna go My arms are open wide I just gotta let you know No matter what they say, I'm gonna stay right by your side I'll be right there for you Everything's gonna be alright Alright [Chorus] It's alright, it's okay You ain't gotta explain a thing to me I know what it's like lookin' for someone to love It's okay, it's alright You can come stay with me tonight You can cry on my shoulder (You can cry on my shoulder) So baby, just come on over It's alright (It's alright), it's okay You can cry on my shoulder [Outro] It's alright, it's okay You can cry on my shoulder
