Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm pretty good at takin' care myself
I always get enough to get me by
So if you're askin' for a little love
Well, baby, there ain't nothin' I won't try
You got me knockin' on wood
I never knew that you could
It's alright if you want me
It's alright if you need me
Girl, if you want me to stay for the night
Girl, if you want me to stay satisfied
Girl, if you want me to stay for the night, it's alright
I knew the minute that I picked you up
That I would never want to put you down
Don't try to tell me that you've had enough
Until you realize what you've found
I'll give you breakfast in bed
You're goin' right to my head
Girl, if you want me to stay for the night, it's alright
It's alright if you want me
It's alright if you need me
Girl, if you want me to stay for the night
Girl, if you want me to stay satisfied
Girl, if you want me to stay for the night, well, it's alright
Girl, you know, I'll be leavin' in the mornin'
You got to take what you can
Yeah, you know, that I'm givin' you the warnin'
Girl, it's just a one night stand, yeah
Come over here
Oh, it's alright if you want me
It's alright if you need me
Girl, if you want me to stay for the night
Girl, if you want me to stay satisfied
Girl, if you want me to stay for the night, well, it's alright
If you want me
It's alright if you need me
Yeah, it's alright
The song "It's Alright" by Rob Hotchkiss is about a man who is willing to have a one night stand with a woman who is interested in him. The opening lyrics indicate that he is self-sufficient and does not rely on anyone else for emotional or physical satisfaction. However, he is willing to try anything to please the woman who has shown interest in him. The chorus reiterates that he is open to her desire for him and willing to stay with her, even if it is just for one night.
As the song progresses, the man becomes more invested in the woman. He suggests that he knew he would fall for her as soon as he met her. He promises to treat her well, offering to make her breakfast in bed. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the singer's willingness to stay with the woman, even though he knows it is not a long-term relationship.

The song ends with the same chorus, indicating that the singer is still open to staying with her if she desires. Overall, the song is about the willingness to engage in a brief relationship without any strings attached.
