You’ll Do Alright (By Tonight) - (E.J. Geel)
By this time your train rolls into central station
By this time you notice I’m not there
Have I ever been unfair?
I left you with an empty stare
Well, as a devil I may lack the experience
But that sweet angel’s gone and won’t return
I figure by this time you try to call me
But I turned my cellphone off
Have I ever been so rough
I deprived a man of tender lover
Well, I’m an artist, maybe somewhat eccentric
But my observant eye is seeing clear
That’s how I see, dear
That you’ll do alright by tonight
You’ll have your life to yourself and feel satisfied
You’ll talk to your friends about us
They’ll say, making up, boy, is not worth the fuss
You’ll do alright and sleep tight
You’ll have the bed to yourself and sleep
all through the night
You feel a little pain, just a little bit
Until you shake it off and that’s it
Oh oh oh Yeah….
By his time you’re on our way to our apartment
By this time you slowly turn the key
Have I ever felt so free
While hitting one so savagely oh
Am I precious now that you miss me
Now that I’m on my way to someone new
I know that you…
You’ll do alright by tonight
You’ll have your life to yourself and feel satisfied
You’ll talk to your friends about us
They’ll say, making up, boy, is not worth the fuss
You’ll do alright and sleep tight
You’ll have the bed to yourself and sleep
all through the night
You feel a little pain, just a little bit
Until you shake it off and that’s it
You’ll do alright…
