Lyrics:

It's alright, baby it's alright
It's alright, baby it's alright
Anything you say, gonna be OK
Cause it's alright, baby it's alright

Open the door love
Let your light shine in
The mornin' passed so quickly
It will not come again
I'll take you at your promise
I will not ask you why
I only wish to love you
Until the day I die

It's a shame, baby it's a shame
When you play your hurtin' game
Every single day, every single night
But that's OK, baby it's alright

Open the door love
The sun lights up the gloom
I know you been out walkin'
I will not ask with whom
The night will soon be over
The sky is almost gray
Your hair is all a-tangled
Your thoughts are all astray

It's alright, baby it's alright
It's alright, baby it's alright
Anything you say, gonna be OK
Cause it's alright, baby it's alright

Open the door love
Let your light shine in
Stayin' here is foolish
To leave would be a sin
I know I'm close behind you
I'll catch you if I try
For I will surely win you
Or I will surely die

It's a shame, baby it's a shame
When you play your hurtin' game
Every single day, every single night
But that's OK, baby it's alright
It's OK, baby it's alright
