Oh sometimes I get a little lonely
But I want to tell you, it's alright
Oh yeah, it's alright
Oh sometimes I feel just like a motherless child
But I want to tell you, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
Because...
I got a woman, way over town
She's good to me, now, oh alright
I got a woman, way over town
She's good to me, oh yeah
Oh she gives me money, when I'm in need
She's a kind of friend indeed
I got a woman, way over town
Oh she's good to me now, alright
She sends her loving, early in the morning
Just for me, yes she do
She sends her loving, early in the morning
Just for me, oh yeah
She sends her loving just for me
Oh you know she loves me, not so tenderly
I got a woman, way over town
Oh she's good to me, now, alright
She's there to love me, both day and night
She never grumbles or fusses
Always treats me right
Never runs the streets, leaving me alone
She knows a woman's place
Is right there in the home
I got a woman, way over town
She's good to me, now, alright
I got a woman, way over town
She's good to me, can't you see?
Oh she's my Baby, Lordy
Well don't you understand?
I'm her lover man
I got a woman, way over town
Oh she's good to me now, alright
Well don't you know she's alright
She's alright, she's alright
Oh Lord she's alright
Hey, hey, hey...
Turn on your love light, Baby
Let it shine on me
Turn on your love light, Baby
Let it shine on me
Let it shine on me...
Just a little bit higher
Just a little bit higher
Just a little bit higher...
Oh she's alright
Oh she's alright
Oh she's alright
Oh honey she's alright
Oh she's alright...
I said I know
I said I know
Oh I know
Oh Baby I know
I said I know
Oh Lord I know
Hey hey
I said I know...
Oh she's alright
Oh Lordy she's alright
Oh she gives me money, when I'm in need
She's a kind of friend indeed, now
Oh Lordy she's alright
Oh she's alright...
I got a woman, way over town
She's good to me, alright
