It's All Right
Huey Lewis and The News Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She comes to me with sweet affection
Wakes me with kisses, hello sleepyhead
Gets me moving in the right direction
I do my best to give her love that lasts forever
It seems like everything I do I'm doing better
Doing it all for my baby
I'm doing it all for my baby
For everything she does for me
Later in the evening, it's been a busy day
She lays her head upon my weary shoulder
Listen to her laughing, snuggle up and say
Now I'm with you baby, the loneliness is over
I do my best to give her love that lasts forever
It seems like everything I do I'm doing better
Doing it all for my baby
'Cause she's as fine as she can be
Doing it all for my baby
For everything she does for me
Doing it all for my baby
Because she's as fine as she can be
I'm doing it all for my baby
For everything she does for me
Doing it, doing it
Doing it, doing it, doing it, yeah
Doing it, doing it
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Doing it, doing it, doing it
Doing it, doing it, doing it, yeah
Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Doing it all for my baby
Doing it all for my baby
Doing it all for my baby
She's as fine as she can be
Doing it all for my baby
Doing it all for my baby
She's so fine

Some Of The Best Music Ever Made is Music Made by Huey Lewis and The News. I've Seen them twice in Concert. Once with my Dad, and once with my Mom, Dad, and My Uncle. And they were Absolutely Phenomenal Each time.

Huey Lewis rocks! What a wonderful cover of this Curtis Mayfield piece. And " a capella" to boot! Huey is certainly an icon of the music of the '80's. They certainly don't write or sing stuff like this anymore. I am glad I was around when I could flick on the car radio and could hear great music like this on a weekly basis. It was a great time to be alive. Rock on, Huey!

This takes me back to summer of 1999. My mom was shopping for a new car which happened to be a Mercury Sable but she was having a hard time deciding between the wagon or sedan so we went on multiple test drives while she was trying to decide and this song came on EVERY SINGLE TIME no joke. We ended up settling on the sedan and it was a great car. But every time I hear this song I think about those test drives.

Summer of 99 was a good time no doubt.
