All Right
The Pauls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There she stood in the street
Smiling from her head to her feet
I said hey, what is this
Now baby, maybe she's in need of a kiss
I said hey, what's your name baby
Maybe we can see things the same
Now don't you wait or hesitate
Let's move before they raise the parking rate

All right now baby, it's all right now
All right now baby, it's all right now

I took her home to my place
Watching every move on her face
She said look, what's your game baby
Are you tryin' to put me in shame
I said slow don't go so fast
Don't you think that love can last
She said love, Lord above
Now you're tryin' to trick me in love

All right now baby, it's all right now
All right now baby, it's all right now

All right now baby, it's all right now
All right now baby, it's all right now

All right now baby, it's all right now
All right now baby, it's all right now





All right now baby, it's all right now
All right now baby, it's all right now
