It's Alright
S.O.B? Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Though your face is charming it's the wrong face
It's not her face but it's such a charming face
That it's alright with me
It's the wrong song in the wrong style
Though your smile is lovely it's the wrong smile
It's not her smile but it's such a lovely smile
You can't know how happy i am that we met
I'm strangely attracted to you
There's someone i'm trying so hard to forget
Don't you want to forget someone too
It's the wrong game with the wrong chips
Though your lips are tempting they're the wrong lips
They're not her lips but they're such tempting lips
That if some night you're free
It's alright with me
In S.O.B's song "It's Alright", the lyrics talk about a romantic encounter with someone who may not be the right fit, but is charming nonetheless. The first verse states that although it's not the right time or place and the face is not the intended person, it's still a charming face that is enough for the singer to be okay with it. In the second verse, the song suggests that the smile and lips may not belong to the right person, but they are still lovely and tempting enough to be alright with the singer. The lyric "Don't you want to forget someone too" suggests that the singer is trying to move on from someone and maybe the person they're singing to is in a similar situation.
The lyrics of the song suggest that sometimes in life, things don't fall into place the way we intend them to, but that doesn't mean that it can't still be okay. The singer is open to the possibility of exploring a romantic connection with someone new, even if it's not necessarily the ideal situation.
