He made me laugh

He made me cry

He smoked his stogies in bed

But I'm all right

I'm all right

I've been lonely before

I asked the boy for a few kind words

He gave me a novel instead

But I'm all right

I'm all right

I've been lonely before

It's fine, it's OK

It was wrong either way

I just wanted to say

There isn't much fun when you're drinking for one

He got drunk, he fell down

He threw a few of my things around

But I'm all right

I'm all right

I've been lonely before

I'd like to believe that it's easy to leave

But I have to conceive that wherever you are

You're still driving my car

Sticks and stones'll break my bones

But tears don't leave any scars

So I'm all right

I'm all right
