[Verse 1]
Sometimes he beats me (It's alright)
But it's alright (It's alright)
But it's alright (It's alright)
And when he abuse me (It's alright)
I'll still say it's alright (It's alright)
And when all my friends accuse me (It's alright)
I'll say still alright (It's alright)

[Chorus]
Oh because I know
I'll smile again, whoa
In a little while, yeah
(Whoa, it's alright)

[Verse 2]
He may not be handsome (It's alright)
And nothin' to see (It's alright)
But there's no need of me lyin' (It's alright)
Because he's the only man for me (It's alright)
And then, only when he leaves me (It's alright)
I'll just say it's alright (It's alright)
Because I know one day he's gonna need me (It's alright)
But that's still alright, oh (It's alright)

[Chorus]
Because I know
I believe I'll smile again
In a little while
(Whoa, it's alright)
[Verse 3]
Now they tell me, they tell me got lots of women (It's alright)
And they're all over town (It's alright)
But I want to you know they'll never get to keep him (It's alright)
I said long as I'm around (It's alright)
And then, when it's all over (Whoa-oh, it's alright)
And all his money's gone (It's alright)
You know I'm gonna be the fool, yes I will (It's alright)
And I'll say, "Daddy, come on back home" (It's alright)

[Chorus]
Oh, baby, because I know
I know I'll smile again
In a little while
(Whoa, it's alright) Oh, yes I will
