Sometimes I get worried

Thinkin' about what each new day may bri-ing

All the world is hassled out or hurried

There's never time to ease the painful things

Never time to think of where you're goin'

Or where you've been



You can tell them I'm goin' home

Or that I'm workin' late at night

No point writin' letters

Or using the telephone

Tell them anything that you mi-i-i-ight

Be sure and tell them I'll be-ee alright



City streets on grey mean mornin's

Make a young man want to call for he-elp

Who can he trust to give out warnin's like that

When he's nine points sure he just can't help himself

It's gotta come from the inside

Not from somebody else



You can tell them I'm living in the country

Or that I've givin' up the fight

No point in sayin'

How well they new me before

No point in givin' reasons of last ni-i-i-ight

Be sure and tell 'em I'll be-ee alright



And when my love comes whisperin' softly

With all the special sweetness she can bri-ing

That is when I'm real

And mostly that's the time

I feel no need to give out anything

That is when I know just what to sing



You can tell them I'm livin' in the island

Somewhere where the day is always bright

Don't need to visit England, Germany or Spain

Won't find me anywhere the things are ti-i-i-ight

Just be sure and tell 'em I'll be alright

I'm goin' ba-ack, I'll be alright...

Goin' home and I'll be-ee-ee a-a-alright
