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 alright
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
Um, yeah
You gave me my heartache
And you give me my blues
I'm here in your doorway
I got nothing to lose
Crying's no use
Baby, it's alright
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 alright
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, honey
It ain't about manhood
And baby
It's alright
Baby, it's alright
Honey it's alright
Baby, it's alright
