It's Alright [Surround Sound][Multimedia Track]

Bob Marley · Other Songs - Bob Marley

You're only acting like you are somebody

But I don't love to say, you're not nobody

Don't exhaust our painted face, girl

'Cause underneath that face you're just have disgrace



And you're just a brand new second hand

You'll make no one fool, you're just a brand new second hand

I only confess you, you're brand new second hand

Dirty golden rule, you're just a brand new second hand



What you've got, girl that I don't know

Why you really really got to exalt yourself

So mama used to tell me a long time ago, girl

It's not everything you own that glitters is gold



So you're just a brand new second hand

No man, no, want no, brand new second hand

You better go back round so girl, brand new second hand

Don't you show us brand new second hand



If you think it's the dress you wear that makes you a lady

Get that out of your mind, you must be crazy



You're just a brand new second had, yes girl

No man, no, want brand new second hand, yes girl

No bother come show off

So you're just a brand new second hand
