It's alright for some, but not alright for me
When the one that I'm lovin' slips around
You think it's fine to do things I cannot see
And you're doin' it to me
Baby, can't you see that I know how it is

I can see it in your eyes and feel
It in the way you kiss my lips
I can hear it in your voice whenever
We are talking just like this
I can see the way you look when
His name is mentioned and I die
I can watch the way you
Walk, the way you talk
The way you close your eyes

It's alright for some, but not alright for me
When the one that I'm lovin' slips around
The city where we live may be quite large
But the circle is small why not tell us all
And then all of us will know

I can see it in your eyes and feel
It in the way you kiss my lips
I can hear it in your voice whenever
We are talking just like this
I can see the way you look when
His name is mentioned and I die
I can watch the way you
Walk, the way you talk
The way you close your eyes

It's alright to feel, but not alright to lie
When you come back and you
Can't say where you've been
You think it's fine to do things I cannot see
And you're doin' them to me
Baby, can't you see, that I know how it is

I can see it in your eyes and feel
It in the way you kiss my lips
I can hear it in your voice whenever
We are talking just like this
I can see the way you look when
His name is mentioned and I die
I can watch the way you
Walk, the way you talk
The way you close your eyes

It's alright for some
But not alright with me with me
