I could be your lover
I could be your friend
It's one or the other
Or is that where it ends
'Cos 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 all right
Oh 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 lose
And cryin's no use
Baby it's all right
Oh 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
Baby it's all right
Oh for the first time I could be strong - yeah
I need you near me tonight
Must be the right time
How could it be wrong - yeah
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 all right
Baby it's all right
Honey it's all right
Baby it's all right
