i'm all right

she knows that i'm not ready

when my nerves are steady

when my eyes are free of tears

someday

she doesn't want to hurt me

it's ok

i'm all right

splashing and dashing myself

a sad man

trying to lift a hundred weight

if i can

when i say i'm available

she smiles

she doesn't want to hurt me

it's ok

i'm all right

i'm all right

i know

i'm all right

i know

can it be

can it be

will it be

will it be

all right

she can see that i'm still angry

it's no good

i can see her during the day

that's good

i have to earn the night

at night

she doesn't want to see me

it's ok

i'm all right

i'm all right

i am all right

i'm all right

i'm all right

i know

i'm all right

i know

can it be

can it be

will it be

will it be

all right
