Here's another track with "studio" and "unplugged" versions.

It's Alright
By Lisa Rein and Ron Taylor

This songs too personal to really go into details. It's a song I wrote to my boyfriend in 1995. So I guess this one is for you, James.

People always wonder if I mean "it's all right" or it's (only) "alright." But the lyrics below are intentional. For the most part, at that time in my life, for lots of different reasons, it was only "alright."

Lyrics
It's Alright
It's Alright
It's in my eyes

You say something's got to give
I say something's gotta take
And it ain't no way to live
But it's too late

And I hope I can cope with the way that things are
And I hope I don't take it too far
You should know
I keep telling you
I'm gonna live forever
So smile wide now and smoke your cigar
And we'll go far

You say something's got to give
I say something's gotta take
And it ain't no way to live
But it's too late
And I hope you don't think that I'm living in sin
And I hope you can't tell that I'm lying again

And I hope I can cope with this mess that I've made
And I hope I can stand in the shade
You should know
I keep telling you
I'm gonna live forever
At least maybe I'll live through today

Hey it's alright
It's all right
It's in my eyes
My eyes

Something's got to give
And something's got to take
And I try to catch up
But I'm falling behind
And I don't even know
What I'm trying to find

And I hope you can cope
With this mess that I am
And I hope that you don't give a damn

You just think like I'm telling you
I'm gonna live forever
And let things so according to plan
And be my man
