She's Alright

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 didnt need nobody else

cause shes alright
shes 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 shes alright

depraved her from the beauty
and smashed it to the ground
I took all she had given me
not knowing what Ive found

and after all what I have learned about myself
I realize I didnt need nobody else

cause shes alright
yeah shes 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 shes alright

I really know its got me bad this time around
the blues wont let me go
my heart is homeward bound

cause shes alright
shes alright
shes mended her wings that were torn by me
I should have been giving the best of me, alright
shes lost forever
and Id love to come alight
cause I know that shes alright

now I know
that shes alright
