I'm Allright

When my nerves are steady
When my eyes are free of tears
Someday
She doesn't want to hurt me
It's OK
I'm All right
Splashing and dashing myself
A sad man
Trying to lift a hundred weight
If I can
When I say I'm available
She smiles
She doesn't want to hurt me
It's OK
I'm All right
I'm all right, I know
I'm all right, I know
Can it be can it be will it be will it be
All right
She can see that I'm still angry
It's no good
I can see her during the day
That's good
I have to earn the night
At night
She doesn't want to see me
It's OK
I'm All right
I'm All right, I am All right, I'm All right
I'm all right, I know
I'm all right, I know
Can it be can it be will it be will it be
All right
