She gave me all her loving heart
I often made her cry
I must have been unhappy, lord
If only I knew why

My needs were so demanding
They brought her down in pain
But she got up and bravely stood
Upon her feet again

And after all what I have learned about myself
I realize I didn't need nobody else

'Cause she's alright
She's alright
The bitter tears and wasted years
Made her drift out of sight
I wish that I could tell her
And hope one day I might
That I think
That she's alright

Depraved her from the beauty
And smashed it to the ground
I took all she had given me
Not knowing what I've found

And after all what I have learned about myself
I realize I didn't need nobody else

'Cause she's alright
Yeah she's alright
The bitter tears and wasted years
Made her drift out of sight
I wish that I could tell her
And hope one day I might
That I think
That she's alright

I really know it's got me bad this time around
The blues won't let me go
My heart is homeward bound

'Cause she's alright
She's alright
She's mended her wings that were torn by me
I should have been giving the best of me, alright
She's lost forever
And I'd love to come alight
'Cause I know that she's alright

Now I know
That she's alright
