Alright, Okay, You Win
Love Triumphs: Alright, Okay, You Win - Count Basie & Joe Williams
Lyrics
Well, alright, okay, you win
Expressing agreement and acceptance, acknowledging a win
I'm in love with you
Declaring love for the other person
Well, alright, okay, you win
Reiterating agreement and acceptance, celebrating a win
Baby, what can I do?
Expressing affection and expressing a willingness to do anything
I'll do anything you say
Committing to fulfill any request made by the partner
It's just got to be that way
Affirming that things must be as the partner desires
Well, alright, okay, you win
Repeating the expression of agreement and acceptance
I'm in love with you
Reaffirming love for the other person
Well, alright, okay, you win
Emphasizing the joy of winning and expressing affection
Baby, what can I do?
Asking for guidance or suggestions from the partner
Anything you say, I'll do
Committing to do anything the partner suggests
As long as it's me and you
Stressing the importance of the connection between the two
All that I am askin'
Seeking something specific from the partner
All I want from you
Desiring love in return
Is just love me like I love you
Expressing the simplicity of the requested action
And it won't be hard to do
Assuring the partner that reciprocating love won't be difficult
Well, alright, okay, you win
Reiterating the joy of winning and expressing love
I'm in love with you
Reaffirming love for the other person
Well, alright, okay, you win
Celebrating the victory and expressing affection
Well, baby, what can I do?
Asking for guidance or suggestions from the partner
I'll do anything you say
Committing to do anything the partner suggests
Oh, it's just got to be that way
Emphasizing the necessity of things being as the partner desires
All that I am askin'
Reiterating a specific request to the partner
All I want from you
Desiring love in return
Just love me like I love you
Emphasizing the simplicity of reciprocating love
It won't be hard to do
Assuring the partner that reciprocating love won't be difficult
All night, all day
Indicating a continuous commitment, day and night
I'm in, oh, and I'm telling you
Expressing determination and assurance to the partner
Alright, okay, you win
Repeating the expression of agreement and victory
What are you waiting for?
Prompting the partner to take action
If you're gonna be my man
Expressing a desire for a committed relationship
Sweet baby, take me by the hand
Asking the partner to lead and guide in the relationship
Well, alright, okay, you win
Reiterating the joy of winning and expressing love
