Verse 1:
You don't know how I feel
You'll never know how I feel
When I needed you to come around
You always try to bring me down
Oh, but I know, girl, believe me when I say that
You are surely, surely gonna pay, girl
But it's all right all right girl
You can hurt me but it's all right
Verse 2:
Hey now, one day ah, you will see
You'll never find a guy like me
Who'll love you right both day and night
You'll never have to worry 'cause it's all uptight
Oh, but I'm tellin' you girl and I know it's true
That I was made to love only you
But it's all right, all right girl
You can hurt me, but it's all right
Go on, yeah
[Repeat verse w/glockenspiel solo over first four lines]
Oh, oh, yeah
My my my baby, wow, yeah!
[key changes to ]
But it's all right all right girl
Hey, say it's all right all right girl
Verse 3 (in ):
Now there's one thing I wanna say, hey, yeah
You'll meet a guy who'll make you pay
He'll treat you bad and make you sad
And you will lose the love you had
Oh, but I hate to say I told you so, but
Baby, you gotta gotta reap what you sow
Coda:
[continue]
But it's all right all right girl
You are payin' now, but it's all right
So goodbye, now, goodbye, girl
You're payin' now, say bye-bye
You hurt me once, you hurt me twice
Oh, but-a baby, that don't cut no ice
Hey, goodbye, baby [fade]
