The tide came in and nearly buried us here nWe saw things like they wouldn't believenYou hear a lot about stories about love and romancenBut I swear nothing quite like you and mennAnd every scar sits like a markernEvery line on the face is a small souvenirnOf all the places, be they good or be they badnThat we stopped into on the journey to herennSo maybe I lost my sense of directionnBut I'm alright nownEvery man needs a little affectionnSo I'm alright nownnThere were times when, yeah, alright I'll confessnI did things of which I am not proudnEverybody wades through the same colored shitnBut it doesn't drag everyone downnnAnd I was stupid, I was insensitive, nI was all the things I promised that I never would benI've seen a lot of foolish behavior in my timenBut I tell ya, they've got nothing on mennSo maybe I lost my sense of directionnBut I'm alright nownEvery man needs a little affectionnSo I'm alright nownGive me strength, give me something to believe innAnd I'm alright nownSing along when your heart's finished bleedingnYeah, I'm alright nownnAnother evening of sublime self-destruction nTo the tune of a thousand cigarettesnWhere every nail thats hammered into your spirit nWas unable to sink you just yetnnAnd television is just some weak anaestheticnTo numb the senses til you're out like a lightnLike all these drugs they seem to promise you the earthnand then they don't keep you warm in the nightnnSo maybe I lost my sense of directionnBut I'm alright nownEvery man needs a little affectionnSo I'm alright nownGive me strength, give me something to believe innAnd I'm alright nownSing along when your heart's finished bleedingnYeah, I'm alright nownnIt's like I cannot sleep for dreamingnThis is everything that could have possibly hoped it would benA lot of stories will end happy ever afternBut I swear nothing quite like you and me
