Love Is Alright Tonite
Embracing the Chaos: Love Triumphs in a Working Class World
Lyrics
I'm picking up my baby tonight
I am going to pick up my baby tonight.
Though her daddy's making trouble
Even though her father is causing problems.
It will be alright
Despite the troubles, everything will be alright.
I'm working hard, I don't know why
I am working hard, but I don't understand why.
I'm like a working class dog
I am like a working-class dog, just getting by.
And I just get by
Surviving with minimal resources.
Tonight I'm crawling out from in it
Tonight, I am emerging from this situation.
And though we're livin' on the brink
Even though we are on the edge.
Second by second by minute by minute¡
Every moment is crucial and uncertain.
Love is alright tonight
Love is alright tonight.
We're gonna be alright
We will be fine despite the challenges.
Love is alright
Reiteration that love will overcome difficulties.
Love is alright tonight
Emphasizing that love is acceptable this evening.
Everyone's sayin' the sky's gonna fall
People are predicting doom, but it's uncertain.
Don't know where it's gonna stop
The uncertainty of where these predictions will lead.
If it stops at all
If it stops at all, questioning the validity of the predictions.
I know the world's goin' crazy alright
Acknowledging that the world seems to be going crazy.
I hope it holds together for one more night
Hoping that things hold together for one more night.
Tonight I'm crawling out from in it
Tonight, I am emerging from this situation again.
And though we're livin' on the brink
Despite living on the edge, facing challenges.
Second by second by minute by minute¡
Highlighting the ongoing uncertainty moment by moment.
Love is alright tonight
Love is alright tonight.
We're gonna be alright
Assurance that we will be fine.
Love is alright
Reaffirmation that love is acceptable.
Love is alright tonight
Emphasizing that love is appropriate for this evening.
Don't worry daddy, I'll have her home at a respectable hour
Assuring her father that I'll bring her home at a decent time.
Go to sleep daddy, you won't think about tonight
Encouraging her father to sleep, not to worry about tonight.
With the night comes a feeling of incredible power
Expressing a powerful feeling that comes with the night.
Gonna love her daddy, she'll be feeling it tonight
Promising to love her in a way that she'll feel tonight.
Alright, it's gonna be alright
Reassuring that everything will be alright.
It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright¡
Repetition, emphasizing that everything will be alright.
Love is alright tonight
Love is alright tonight.
We're gonna be alright
Reaffirmation that we will be fine despite challenges.
Love is alright
Reiteration that love is acceptable.
Love is alright tonight
Emphasizing that love is appropriate for this evening.
