Yep, here we have another post in the Heartbreak series.
15) But It’s Alright by Huey Lewis & the News
So this song was only covered by Huey Lewis, but he is who I am going with as this is the version I am the most familar with and love. It was originally written by J.J. Jackson in 1966 and quickly climbed the charts, becaming the best dance song of the decade. It was actually recorded in England and had a lot of famous musicians of the day, such as Terry Smith, Dick Morrissey, and John Marshall.
So the song itself is pretty explanatory. It’s about this guy who’s girl never had time for him and broke his heart. But he’s like its alright, because I’ll be fine. You’ll be the one missing out, not me. Of course we are still in the angry section, so he’s like you’re going to meet someone who will treat as horrible as you treated me.
You don’t know
How I feel
You never know
How I feel
When I needed you
To come around
You always try
To put me down
Well I know girl
Believe me when I say
That you
Are someday gonna pay
Girl but it’s alright
Alright girl
You hurt me
But it’s alright
Hey now one day
You’ll see
You’ll never find
A guy like me
Who’ll love you right
Both day and night
You never have to worry
‘Cause it’s alright
Oh what I’m tellin you girl
And we both know it’s true
I am so mixed up over you
Girl but it’s alright
All right girl
You hurt me
But it’s alright
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
My my my baby
I said it’s alright
Alright girl
Hey now it’s alright
Alright girl
Now everything I wanna say
You’ll meet a guy
That’l make you pay
He’ll treat you bad
And make you sad
And you will ruin
The love you had
Oh but I’d hate
To say I told you so
Baby
You got to got to reap what you sow
Yeah but it’s alright
Alright girl
You are payin’ now
But it’s alright
Goodbye love
Goodbye girl
You’re payin’ now
But it’s alright
You hurt me once
You hurt me twice
Oh baby
But remember, it does not to well to dwell on the past:
After all, it’s your choice in how you deal with it:
