She tries to hide the bruises she says it wasnt him

But sometimes he looses his temper

and again he'll come home and look for a fight

but she tells herself it's alright

she hopes someday it's alright



she doesn't tell anybody but everyone can tell

that there's something she's hiding, she hasn't been herself

but she still goes out everynightshe tells herself it's alright

she hopes someday it's alright...its alright..its alright..its alright



she has to make excuses for all of this abuse

and it's sad the truth is shes scared of what he'll do

if she'd ever walk out of his life

so she tells herself it's alright

she hopes someday it's alright..it's alright..

it's alright...it's alright..it's alright...it's alright..



She sits and she waits its not getting any better

it's never too late but she knows its now or never

she'll get up the strength to stand up to him tonight

cuz she knows that it's alright



She says today she's leaving, she says she's had enough

sick of being mistreated, she knows that isn't love

so tonight, she's saying goodbye and she tells herself it's alright

yea, she knows she's gonna make it tonight

yea, she's finally going on with her life

and she knows that it's alright...it's alright...it's alright...it's alright...it's alright...it's alright...it's alright



She sits and she waits its not getting any better

it's never too late but she knows its now or never

she'll get up the strength to stand up to him tonight

cuz she knows taht it's alright
