It’s Alright

[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
