It's All right

You've tried to get him out of sight, and also out of mind
And though we've been together, he comes back when you're just kind
So if you're feeling guilty when you use a heavy hand
It's all right, if you feel better, to think of sunny days in Cannes

And it's all right, it's all right, it's all right
It's all right, if you feel better, to think of sunny days in Cannes

But it don't stop there my dear even though you had made it so clear
With nerve he stepped into your house you thought how rude it was
There's no question 'bout the etiquette kick him out like your motherdoes
But when it comes to me dear I know you don't think that way
I know there's a place in your heart for me
At least I saw it there yesterday, anyway

And it's all right, it's all right, it's all right
It's all right, and I feel better, cause I saw it there yesterday

But it don't stop there my dear and I want to know if you share
This crazy minded trip I take whenever you don't show
I'm afraid to ask for reasons why but know that even though
You can hold me by the whatzit till I feel the pain
My primitive urges bring me back to you again and again

And it's all right, it's all right, it's all right
It's all right, and I feel better, when I'm back to you again

But it don't stop there my dear, so you ask me eloquently "then where"
Cause I hide behind a face I made of paper maché
So you light it with a match and watch it quickly burn away
Then standing bare before you I've got so much to say
How did you know I want to be treated that way, anyway?

And it's all right, it's all right, it's all right
It's all right, and I feel better, when you treat me that way


If you find yourself just staring at the circus in your mind
Watch out for the elephants and other beasts that lag behind
And if you catch a yellow swallowtail and give it all your love
It's all right, if you feel better, to think that its a dove

And it's all right, it's all right, it's all right
It's all right, if you feel better, to give it all your love
