Baby It’s Alright

I could be your lover
I could be your friend
It's one or the other
Or is that where it ends

'Cause I never see you
And you never call
I want to be near you
To hold you that's all
Be there if you fall

Baby it's alright
For the first time I could be strong
I need you near me tonight
Must be the right time
How could it be wrong?
How could it be wrong?

You gave me my heartache
You give me my blues
I'm here in your doorway
I got nothing to love
And cryin' no use

Baby it's alright
For the first time I could be strong
I need you near me tonight
Must be the right time
How could it be wrong?
How could it be wrong?

And if you should decide honey
You need a love that's good
It ain't about pride
It ain't about manhood and baby it's alright
