Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He made me laugh, he made me cry
He smoke his stogies in bed
But I'm all right, I'm all right
I've been lonely before
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
It's fine, it's okay
It was wrong either way
I just wanted to say
There isn't much fun when you're drinking wine
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
I'd like to believe healthy cigarettes
But I have to conceive that wherever you are
You're still driving my car
Sticks and stones will break my bones
But tears don't leave any scars
So I'm all right, I'm all right
I've been lonely before
[Verse 6]
And I'm all right, I'm all right
I'm all right, yeah
He played solitaire in bed
Used to blow bubbles in bed
He sang Christmas songs in bed
