He made me laugh

He made me cry

He smoked his stogies in bed

 But I'm all right

 I'm all right

 I've been lonely before

I asked the boy for a few kind words

He gave me a novel instead

 But I'm all right

 I'm all right

I've been lonely before

 It's fine, it's OK

 It was wrong either way

I just wanted to say

 There isn't much fun when you're drinking for one

He got drunk, he fell down

He threw a few of my things around

 But I'm all right

 I'm all right

I've been lonely before

 I'd like to believe that it's easy to leave

 But I have to conceive that wherever you are

 You're still driving my car

Sticks and stones'll break my bones

 But tears don't leave any scars

 So I'm all right

 I'm all right
