It's Alright
The 4 Lyrics

Well, it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
There's no point in questioning or trying to understand the reason why things ended.

If'n you don't know by now
If you haven't figured out the reason by now.

And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It's pointless to ponder over the situation.

It'll never do somehow
It won't change anything or solve the problem.

When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
As soon as the morning comes and the rooster crows,

Look out your window and I'll be gone
You won't find me there anymore.

You're the reason I'm a-travellin' on
You're the cause of my departure.

But don't think twice, it's all right
But don't worry about it or regret it.

And it ain't no use in a-turnin' on your light, babe
It's useless to turn your light on.

The light I never knowed
I'm not familiar with your light.

I'm on the dark side of the road
I'm walking on the darker side of things.

But I wish there was something you would do or say
I wish you could say or do something to make me stay.

To try and make me want to change my mind and stay
To make me reconsider and stay with you.

But we never did much talkin' anyway
We didn't have much communication or discussion.

So it ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
There's no point in shouting out my name anymore.

Like you never done before
As if you never did it in the past.

I can't hear you anymore
I can't hear you or your calls anymore.

I'm a-thinkin' and a-wonderin', walkin' down the road
I'm lost in thought and strolling down the road.

I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I was once in love with a woman whom people thought was childish.

I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
I gave her all my love and devotion, but she wanted more than that.

So long, honey baby
Goodbye, my sweet honey baby.

Where I'm bound I can't tell
I'm not sure where I'm going.

And goodbye's too good a word, babe
Saying ‘goodbye’ seems too nice or inappropriate.

So I'll just say 'fare thee well'
So, I'll just say ‘farewell’ to you.

I ain't a-sayin' you treated me unkind
I'm not accusing you of being unkind towards me.

You could've done better, but I don't mind
You had the potential to do better, but I don't hold it against you.

You just kind of wasted my precious time
You just ended up wasting my valuable time.

But don't think twice, it's all right
But don't let it bother you or affect you – everything's alright.
