That's All Right
Unbridled Freedom in Love's Melody
Lyrics
Well, that's all right now mama
Expressing acceptance or approval of a situation addressed to "mama."
That's all right with you
Confirming that it's acceptable with the person being addressed.
That's all right now mama, just anyway you do
Reiterating acceptance with flexibility in how things are done.
That's all right, that's all right
Emphasizing that everything is acceptable and okay.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do
Repeating acceptance with an open attitude toward various ways of doing things.
My mama, she done told me, papa done told me too
Referring to advice received from both parents about a problematic relationship.
"Son, that gal you're foolin' with
Quoting parental advice warning about the unsuitability of the romantic partner.
She ain't no good for you"
Stating that the person being involved with is not a good match.
But that's all right now, that's all right
Reaffirming acceptance despite parental warnings.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do
Repeating the acceptance of the situation regardless of parental advice.
I'm leaving town, baby
Declaring an intention to leave the current location or relationship.
I'm leaving town for sure
Confirming the decision to leave the town without hesitation.
Well, then you won't be bothered with me hanging 'round your door
Explaining that leaving will resolve any issues associated with the person being addressed.
Well, that's all right, that's all right
Reiterating that everything is acceptable despite the decision to leave.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do
Reaffirming acceptance regardless of the impending departure.
That's all right, that's all right
Repeating the sentiment that everything is acceptable in different circumstances.
That's all right now mama, anyway you do
Stating acceptance once again with an open attitude toward various actions.
Well, that's all right now mama, anyway you do
Concluding by expressing acceptance in any manner the person being addressed chooses.
