Love Is Alright Tonite (demo) Songtext
von Rick Springfield

This was the first song I wrote for what became Working Class Dog
And it became the template for Working Class Dog
And this was how I wished I′d been when I was 15
It's called Love Is Alright Tonite

(With apologies to The Beatles)
Picking up my baby tonight
Though her daddy′s making trouble
It will be alright
I'm working hard, I don't know why
I′m like a working class dog
And I just get by
Tonight I′m crawling out from in it

And though we're livin′ on the brink
Second by second by minute by minute

Love is alright tonight
And baby, we're gonna be alright (ooh)
Love is alright tonite (ooh)
Love is alright tonight


Everyone′s sayin' the sky′s gonna fall
Don't know where it's gonna stop
If it stops at all
I know the world′s goin′ crazy alright
I hope it holds together for one more night
Tonight I'm crawling out from in it
And tho′ we're livin′ on the brink
Second by second by minute by minute

Love is alright tonight
And baby, we're gonna be alright (right!)
Love is alright tonight (ooh)
Love is alright tonight
(This is the part I- where I wanted to be cool)

Don′t worry, Daddy, I'll have her home at a respectable hour
Go to sleep, Daddy, you won't think about tonight
With the night comes a feeling that I′ve got this incredible power
Gonna love her, Daddy, she′ll be feeling it tonight
Alright, it's gonna be alright
It′s gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright

(two, three, four)
Love is alright tonight
And baby, we′re gonna be alright (ooh)
Love is alright (ooh)
Love is alright tonight
