Alright lyrics
by John Legend



I drink a quart of gin a day

I stagger down the street

I fall in the gutter

Tonight I'm hangin' in a bar

An' over there is the girl I used to have

Her boyfriend knows

Her boyfriend knows

She wants me she wants me

I'm a drunken bum and

She wants me she wants me

More than she wants him.



My pants are wet I can't work my zipper

I wet my pants but I don't care

I drink a quart of gin a day

I drink a quart of gin a day

Except when I drink two.

And she still wants me more than

She wants him.



She wants me she wants me

I'm a drunken bum and

She wants me she wants me

More than she wants him.



One day they'll find me dead

Kicked or strangled or shot in the head

When they do the autopsy

Then they'll find out

More gin than blood

I'm a gin and lager lout



But she'll cry and cry

Because I'm gone

She'll go with him back

To their home

He'll wonder all night

Why she cries

But when I went

All her hope dies



I'm gone I'm gone,

I'm a drunken bum

It's just too bad

But that's the way it is.
