| Return to the city, lookin' for a friend, she shouldn’t be too hard to find
|
| There’s only one or two places she could be, especially this time of night
|
| I didn’t tell her I’m in town or I’d be coming 'round, I’m steppin' into her
|
| work
|
| She greets me casually, yeah hands me a drink
|
| I wait 'til six in the morning for her
|
| She says it’s alright
|
| That cha haven’t written or been here for a while
|
| (I've been here for a while)
|
| Just grab your things and come on over
|
| Stay with me at my house (stay with me)
|
| She says it’s alright, yeah
|
| It’s half past four, the afternoon, oh we wake up
|
| There’s no phones to disturb us, lazing around, isolated from all of the fuss
|
| She smokes a couple hundred cigarettes and hands me the keys
|
| Oh while she gets ready for work
|
| Be back at seven in the morning to let her in, that’s about when she returns
|
| She says it’s alright
|
| That you don’t speak the language, I know that you barely try
|
| (I know you barely try)
|
| I love The Smiths and my cigarettes, like you in my bed
|
| But, I don’t need you to get by (don't need you)
|
| She says it’s alright, yeah
|
| I’m sure you wanted
|
| To forget about things for a while
|
| As I see, how you see, how we see, let me see
|
| She says it’s alright
|
| That you’re going to the states and ya won’t be back for awhile
|
| (I won’t be back for a while)
|
| She says, it’s alright with you, it’s alright without you
|
| Either way is just fine (either way you’re not mine)
|
| She says it’s alright (it's alright, alright)
|
| I don’t expect to hear from you, but you’re welcome back anytime
|
| Unless I find a new friend, then this will have to end (it's alright)
|
| We don’t need no good-byes
|
| She says it’s alright
|
| She says alright
|
| It’s alright |
