Is That Alright?
Lady Gaga Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life is so simple
A little boy, a little girl
Laughing and loving
Tryin' to figure out the world

It felt like summer
When I kissed you in the rain
And I know your story
But tell me again

Nothing you say wouldn't interest me
All of your words are like poems to me
I would be honored if you would take me as I am

I want you
To look right in my eyes
To tell me you love me
To be by my side
I want you
At the end of my life
I wanna see your face when I fall with grace
At the moment I die
Is that alright?
Is that alright?

I hope you're still with me
When I'm not quite myself
And I pray that you'll lift me
When you know I need help

It's a warm celebration
Of all of our years
I dream of our story
Of our fairy-tale

Family dinners and family trees
Teachin' the kids to say, "Thank you," and, "Please"
Knowin' if we stay together that things will be right

I want you
To look right in my eyes
To tell me you love me
To be by my side
I want you
At the end of my life
Wanna see your face when I fall with grace
At the moment I die
Is that alright?




Is that alright?
Is that alright?

Overall Meaning

The song "Is That Alright?" is a romantic ballad that expresses the desire for a love that lasts a lifetime. The lyrics talk about how life is simple when there is love and how, even though the world is complex and unpredictable, being with the ones we love makes everything else seem clear. The mention of a little boy and a little girl refers to the simplicity and innocence of childhood, and how the feeling of love can bring us back to that sense of wonder and joy.


The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, as Lady Gaga sings about wanting her partner to be with her throughout her life, even in the most difficult moments. She wants to look into their eyes and hear them say "I love you," and she wants to see their face when she takes her last breath. This speaks to the deep longing we all have for a love that is unconditional and enduring, one that will stand the test of time.


The entire song is about the importance of love in our lives, from childhood through to the end of our days. It celebrates the idea of family, of growing old together, and of cherishing every moment we have with the ones we love. It is a beautiful ode to the power of love, and a reminder to us all to cherish the ones we hold dear.
