You can keep that piece of me I've come through, outgrew, don't need you It ain't how it used to be You lost out, and now I've found I'm alright tonight, live your life You get high, act like I need rescuing That I don't need that piece of me I've lost

How come I end up where I started How come I end up where I belong Won't take my eyes off the ball again You reel me out then you cut the string You used to be alright What happened? Did the cat get your tongue Did your string come undone

Come September I'll be gone (gone, gone) I said I loved you in the summer But will I love you in the fall I thought I wasn't like the others Guess I'm an asshole after all I used to be alright I'd tell myself I love you But I'm creeping every night

I'll be alright, be alright Just go with the tide And if you feeling all confused, no you are not on your own Someone once told me babe when the tide gets high, you just get low Hold your breath and take it slow Yes I might get wet, I might get thrown

Tell Mama, all about it Tell Mama, what you need Tell Mama, what you want And I'll make everything alright You thought you'd found a good girl One to love you and give you the world Now you find that you've been misused Talk to me, I'll do what you

Doo doo-wop There's a hole in my heart where she used to be I'm a lone little tiger now Where you belong (Where you belong) Please bring it on home (Bring it on home) Where you belong Doo doo-wop (Alright)
