Well I don't even know your name
But I've been watchin' all the same
I hear your voice, I guess you're home from work again
I was the guy across the hall
I smiled at you but that was all
The one day we went at it up against the wall
We both gotta have it, just give me a sign
I'm comin' over tonight
And if you leave on the light
It means you're sayin' come in, it's alright
I'm comin' over tonight
And if you leave on the light
It means you're sayin' come in, it's alright
You're gettin' off, yeah I can tell
If walls could talk, they'd probably yell (it's alright)
Don't know your name, but I should know your body well
Temptation's only steps away
A game of this we like to play
Your light is on, you're tellin' me that it's ok
It's some daily habit, we can't wait to grab it
We both gotta have it, just give me a sign
I'm comin' over tonight
And if you leave on the light
It means you're sayin' come in, it's alright
I'm comin' over tonight
And if you leave on the light
It means you're sayin' come in, it's alright
Come up, come in, I want to see ya baby (I'm comin' over tonight)
Cause we know how to do it
Come up, come in, I want to see ya baby (I'm comin' over tonight)
'Cause we know how to do it
I saw you in the hall today (nothin' left to say)
But still I know what's in your head
I'll see you later on in bed
I smiled at you but that was all
Then one day we went at it up against the wall
It's some daily habit, we can't wait to grab it
We both gotta have it, just give me a sign
I'm comin' over tonight
Come in, it's alright
I'm comin' over tonight
And if you leave on the light
It means you're sayin' come in, it's alright
I'm comin' over tonight
And if you leave on the light
It means you're sayin' come in, it's alright
I'm comin' over tonight (Come up, come in, I want to see ya baby)
I'm comin' over tonight
Come in, it's alright
The song "It's Alright" by Nick Lachey is a catchy tune about a sexual relationship between two people who barely know each other. The singer of the song admits that he doesn't even know the name of the woman he's been watching, but that doesn't stop him from wanting her. He's been hearing her voice and knows when she's home from work. The two of them have had sexual encounters before and have made it a daily habit to grab each other.
The lyrics are somewhat voyeuristic, as the singer is alluding to listening through the walls and imagining what's going on behind closed doors. He mentions that "if walls could talk, they'd probably yell" which is hinting at their raunchy past experiences. He's coming over again tonight and is hoping that she'll leave the light on, a signal that she's ready for him. The song doesn't offer any deeper meaning outside of the physical relationship, but the lyrics are catchy and the beat is danceable.
Overall, "It's Alright" is a song that celebrates casual sex without any emotional attachment. It's a lighthearted, catchy tune that's easy to dance to, but it doesn't offer much meaningful commentary about relationships or intimacy.

Is there a way anyone can put this up on YouTube? I don't have an Amazon account and don't think I'll be able to get one. I'd love to hear this.
