He's alright with me
Please don't talk about the flintstone boy
He's alright with me
Please don't worry about the flintstone boy
He got trouble but he ain't got joy
Please don't talk about the flintstone boy
Please don't talk about the flintstone boy
Don't you worry, he's alright with me, oh yeah, oh yeah
Please don't worry about the flintstone boy
He's alright with me
Please don't worry about the flintstone boy
He's alright with me
Please don't talk about the flintstone boy
He got trouble and he ain't got joy
Please don't worry about the flintstone boy
Please don't worry about the flintstone boy
Don't you worry, he's alright with me, oh yeah, oh yeah
Well Joey had a lover but he had to run for cover
When someone told a lie
Jo Jo his lover, he'd been cheating on him
Shouldn't he know why
Joey had a lover but he had to run for cover
When someone let him down
Jo Jo his lover, he'd been cheating on him
He'd been messing around
