It’s OK (It’s Alright) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been looking 'bout an hour
For a place to drink
Trouble with this town
Everyone's asleep
Me and my girlfriend
Had another fight
Now she's gone and left me
In the middle of the night

[Chorus]
It's okay (It's okay), it's alright (It's alright)
Baby, stay one more night
It's okay (It's okay), it's alright (It's alright)
Baby, stay one more night

[Verse 2]
I've been looking 'bout an hour
For a place to drink
If I had a number
I'd give her a ring
I've got to, got to tell her
How sorry I am
If I get to see her
I know she'll understand
[Chorus]
It's okay (It's okay), it's alright (It's alright)
Baby, stay one more night
And just you (And just you) and I (Just you and I)
Maybe we can make it right

[Post-Chorus]
If you're sure your answer's no
I'll take you where you want to go
It's okay (It's okay), it's alright (It's alright)
Baby, stay one more night

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
I've been trying for an hour
To find the right words
I know what she's thinking
I know how it hurts

[Chorus]
It's okay (It's okay), it's alright (It's alright)
Baby, stay one more night
And just you (And just you) and I (Just you and I)
Maybe we can make it right
[Post-Chorus]
If you're sure your answer's no
I'll take you where you want to go
It's okay (It's okay), it's alright (It's alright)
Baby, stay one more night

[Outro]
It's okay (It's okay), it's alright (It's alright)
Baby, stay one more night
And just you (And just you) and I (Just you and I)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
