Lyrics
I’m alright
Nobody worry ’bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can’t you just let it be?
I’m alright
Don’t nobody worry ’bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don’t you just let me be?
Do what you like
Doing it nat’rally
But if it’s too easy
They’re gonna disagree
It’s your life
Isn’t it a mystery?
It’s nobody’s bus’ness
It’s everybody’s game
Got to catch you later
No, no, cannonball it right away (Some Cinderella kid)
Get it up and get you a job (Dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip)
I’m alright
Nobody worry ’bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can’t you just let it be?
I’m alright
Don’t nobody worry ’bout me
You got to gimme a fight
Why don’t you just let me be?
Who do you want?
Who you gonna be today?
And who is it really
Makin’ up your mind?
You wanna listen to the man?
Pay attention to the magistrate
And while I got you in the mood
Listen to your own heart beatin’
Own heart beatin’
Own heart beatin’
Own heart…
Don’t it get you movin’?
(Mmmmm-man, you make me feel good)
Wow, Cinderella kid
Then give it up and give it the job (Dip dip dip dip dip dip dip dip)
I’m (Boom, boom, boom)
I’m alright
Nobody worry ’bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can’t you just let it be?
I’m alright
Don’t nobody worry ’bout me
You got to gimme a fight?
Why don’t you just let me be?
I’m alright
Nobody worry ’bout me
Why you got to gimme a fight?
Can’t you just let it be?
I’m alright
I’m alright
I’m alright
Just let me be
I’m alright
I’m alright
I’m alright
Just let me be
