Hold back your diamonds and pearls
|
'Cause the attraction's no good to me
|
Hold back your California Girls
|
Your prescriptions and your limousines
|
Hold back your influential friends
|
For they are really not my type
|
'Cause just as long as I've got my baby
|
I'll be alright
|
|
I'll be alright
|
Despite all the finer things
|
She'd have if she were monied
|
Like a rich girl
|
I'll be alright
|
Despite all the candy coloured things
|
The things that are so untrue
|
|
Hold back your perfumes so rare
|
'Cause she smells like a rose untorn
|
Hold back your designer underwear
|
She's a beauty just the way she was born
|
She may not move like Fred Astaire
|
But her gingerly walk is out of sight
|
'Cause just as long as I've got my baby
|
I'll be alright
|
|
I'll be alright
|
Despite all the finer things
|
She'd have if she were monied
|
Like a rich girl
|
|
I'll be alright
|
Despite all the candy coloured things
|
The things that are so untrue
|
I'll sing it for the last time y'all
|
|
Hold back your critical reviews
|
'Cause my baby don't need the hype
|
We're happy just to pay our little dues
|
So get movin', get on your bike
|
'Cause just as long as I've got my baby
|
If I can hold on and keep my baby
|
If I can just hold on and keep my baby
|
I'll be alright
|

I'll Be Alright
