I'm Gonna Be Alright

Oh yes
Yes I did baby  yes I did
It's funny 'cause for a while I walked around with a smile
But deep inside I could hear voices telling me this ain't right
Don't you know it's not for you  I always knew what I had to do
But it's hard to get away 'cause I love you  I just tried to stay
I used to say I couldn't do it but I did it
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it
And I know inside I'ma be alright
I said I couldn't do it but I did it
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it
And that voice inside says  "I'm gonna be alright"
Friends of mine say to me  they say you got control over me
You're not alone  I played my part  I saw the way you were from the start
Could I expect so much from you  You had a girl when I first met you
Did the best that you could do  now I realize that I can't change you
I used to say  I couldn't do it but I did it
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it
And I know inside I'ma be alright
I said I couldn't do it but I did it
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it
And that voice inside says  "I'm gonna be alright"
Said  "I wouldn't walk away"  somedays I want to stay
But leaving you is what I need to do to be okay
Never thought it would be true  me livin' without you
But now it's time for me to make that move  oh
I used to say I couldn't do it but I did it
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it
And I know inside I'ma be alright
I said I couldn't do it but I did it
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it
And that voice inside says  "I'm gonna be alright"
