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
|
