Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's alright for some, not alright for me
When the one that I'm lovin' slips around
[Verse 2]
You think it's fun to do, things I cannot see
And you're doing them to me
Baby, can't you see that I know how it is?
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
It's alright for some, not alright for me
When the one that I'm lovin' slips around
The city where we live
Maybe quite large but the circle is small
Why not tell us all? And then all of us will know
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
It's alright to feel, but not alright to lie
When you come home and you can't say where you've been
You think it's fun to do, things I cannot see
And you're doing them to me
Baby, can't you see that I know how it is?
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
It's alright for some, but not alright with me
With me
