Fmaj7 Dm7
It's all right for some but not all right for me
Em
When the one that I'm loving slips around
Fmaj7 Dm7
You think it's fine to do things I cannot see
Em
And you're doing it to me
F Gsus4 G
Baby can't you see that I know how it is
C Em7
I can see it in your eyes
F G C Em7 F G
And feel it in the way you kiss my lips
C Em7
I can hear it in your voice
F G C Em7 F G
Whenever we are talking like this
C Em
I can see what you believe in
F G C Em7 F G
When his name is mentioned and I die
C Em
I can watch the way you walk
F G C Em7 F G
The way you talk, the way you close your eyes
Fm7 Dm7
It's all right for some but not all right to be
Em
Where the one that I'm loving can't be found
Fm7 Dm7
The city where we live might be quite large
Em
But the circle is small
F Gsus4 G
Why not tell us all and than all of will know
Fm7 Dm7
It's all right to leave but not all right to lie
Em
When you come home and you can't say where you've been
Fm7 Dm7
You think it's fine to do the things I cannot see
Em
And you're doing it to me
F Gsus4 G
baby can't you see that I know how it is
