'Cause the attraction's no good to me
 Hold back your California Girls
 Your prescriptions and your limousines
 Hold back your influential friends
 For they are really not my type
 'Cause just as long as I've got my baby
 I'll be alright

 I'll be alright
 Despite all the finer things
 She'd have if she were monied
 Like a rich girl
 I'll be alright
 Despite all the candy coloured things
 The things that are so untrue

 Hold back your perfumes so rare
 'Cause she smells like a rose untorn
 Hold back your designer underwear
 She's a beauty just the way she was born
 She may not move like Fred Astaire
 But her gingerly walk is out of sight
 'Cause just as long as I've got my baby
 I'll be alright

 I'll be alright
 Despite all the finer things
 She'd have if she were monied
 Like a rich girl

 I'll be alright
 Despite all the candy coloured things
 The things that are so untrue
 I'll sing it for the last time y'all

 Hold back your critical reviews
 'Cause my baby don't need the hype
 We're happy just to pay our little dues
 So get movin', get on your bike
 'Cause just as long as I've got my baby
 If I can hold on and keep my baby
 If I can just hold on and keep my baby
 I'll be alright
