Baby It’s Alright

(Spike Edney)

I could be your lover

I could be your friend

It's one or the other

Or is that where it ends

'Cos I never see you

And you never call

I want to be near you

To hold you that's all

Be there if you fall

Baby it's all right

Oh for the first time I could be strong

I need you near me tonight

Must be the right time

How could it be wrong

How could it be wrong

You gave me my heartache

You give me my blues

I'm here in your doorway

I got nothing to lose

And cryin's no use

Baby it's all right

Oh for the first time I could be strong

I need you near me tonight

Must be the right time

How could it be wrong

How could it be wrong

Baby it's all right

Oh for the first time I could be strong - yeah

I need you near me tonight

Must be the right time

How could it be wrong - yeah

And if you should decide honey

You need a love that's good

It ain't about pride

It ain't about manhood

And baby it's all right

Baby it's all right

Honey it's all right

Baby it's all right
