Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's alright if you love me
It's alright if you don't
I'm not afraid of you running away
Honey, I get the feeling you won't
[Verse 2]
There is no sense in pretending
Your eyes give you away
Something inside you is feeling like I do
We've said all there is to say
[Verse 3]
Baby, breakdown, go ahead, give it to me
Breakdown, honey, take me through the night
Breakdown, now I'm standing here, can't you see? (Breakdown)
Breakdown, it's alright
It's alright
It's alright
[Verse 4]
Breakdown, go ahead, give it to me
Breakdown and take me through the night
Breakdown, now I'm standing here, can't you see?
Breakdown, it's alright
It's alright
It's alright
[Verse 5]
We can do it anyway you want to
It's alright
We can leave if we want to
Hurt me if you want to, baby
I don't mind
[Verse 6]
Walk out the door
Honey, I don't mind
'Cause I can't stand it, I can't face it
I can take it, I can live with it every day of my life
It don't make any difference at all
Right
[Verse 7]
I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind
It's alright
[Verse 8]
Is it alright?
Is it alright?
Is it alright?
It's alright
[Verse 9]
Oh, woman, oh, woman, won't you me hurt this way?
'Cause I'll be back on my feet someday
I guess if you say so
I have to pack my bags and go (That's right)
[Verse 10]
Hit the road, Jack
And don't you come back no more, no more, no more, no more
Hit the road, Jack
And don't you come back no more
[Verse 11]
It's alright
'Cause you ain't the only woman in the world, baby
Bye, bye
You think you God's gift to women, honey
I don't mind
Baby, breakdown
[Verse 12]
'Cause if you wanna hurt me, baby
It's alright
