Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Little Miss I give up,
Little Miss I'll get tough, don't you worry 'bout me anymore
Little Miss checkered dress,
Little Miss one big mess,
Little Miss I'll take less when I always give that so much more
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright,
Yeah, sometimes ya gotta lose 'til ya win,
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright,
It'll be alright again, it'll be alright again
I'm okay, it'll be alright again,
I'm okay (okay) it'll be alright again,
I'm okay
Little Miss do your best,
Little Miss never rest,
Little Miss, be my guest, I'll make more anytime it runs out
Little Miss you'll go far,
Little Miss hide your scars,
Little Miss who you are is so much more than you like to talk about
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright,
Yeah, sometimes ya gotta lose 'til ya win,
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright,
It'll be alright again, it'll be alright again,
I'm okay, it'll be alright again,
I'm okay (okay) it'll be alright again,
I'm okay
Hold on, hold on, you are loved, are loved
Little Miss brand new start,
Little Miss do your part,
Little Miss big ole heart beats wide open, she's ready now for love
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright,
Yeah, sometimes ya gotta lose 'til ya win,
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright,
It'll be alright again, it'll be alright again
I'm okay, it'll be alright again,
I'm okay (okay) it'll be alright again,
I'm okay,
It'll be alright again

This song helped me realize I'm gonna be just fine! And it helped me remember how strong I really am. It'll always be alright again.
Lindsey Spiker
Singing to this song and the part where she said, "I'm okay" I always burst into tears. Because to me I know I rely on "I'm okay" or "I'm fine" in order not to bother anyone else with my problems, but also to convince myself.

+Lindsey Spiker I get that with Flogging Molly's If I Ever Leave This World Alive too actually. I always think of how my mom passed when I was younger and telling myself that'd I'd be okay and then I'm not okay. XD Oh music, you cruel beautiful mistress.
