Well All Right
Bobby Vee & The Crickets Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well all right - so I'm being foolish
Well all right let people know
About the dreams and wishes you wish
In the night when lights are low

Well all right - well all right
We'll live and love with all our might
Well all right - well all right

Our lifetime of love will be all right

Well, all right - so I'm going steady
It's all right when people say
That those foolish kids can't be ready
For the love that comes their way

Well all right - well all right
We'll live and love with all our might

Well all right - well all right
Our lifetime of love will be all right
