[Verse 1]
I was so blue yesterday
Then you came my way
You turned my frown upside down
Laughter's now a frequent song
Been a stranger for oh, so long
Now every fiber in my soul's alive
Oh, I think, I...

[Chorus]
Think it's gonna be alright, alright
We've got it together
Think it's gonna be alright, alright
Baby, just you and me

[Verse 2]
Sometimes when things aren't going right
We have a silly fight
You go your way, I go mine
I try to make up with some crazy antics
You accept them for melodramatic scenes
Oh, we are part of each other
And seal it with a kiss, whoa, I...

[Chorus]
Think it's gonna be alright, alright (gonna be alright)
We've got it together
I think it's gonna be alright, alright
Baby, just you and me

[Outro]
'Cause when we're making love
You know how to please me
And that makes it worthwhile, whoa, I...

[Chorus]
Think it's gonna be alright, alright (gonna be alright)
We've got it together
I think it's gonna be alright, alright
Baby, just you and me, baby
Think it's gonna be alright, alright (let's put your lovin' in mine)
We've got it together
I think it's gonna be alright, alright
Baby, just you and me, baby
Think it's gonna be alright...
