Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's alright if you love me

It's alright if you don't

I'm not afraid of you runnin' away

Honey, I get the feelin' you won't

[Verse 2]

There is no sense in pretending

Your eyes give you away

Somethin' inside you is feelin' like I do

We said all there is to say

[Chorus]

Baby, breakdown

Go ahead and give it to me

Breakdown

Honey, take me through the night

(Baby, baby, breakdown) Breakdown

Now I'm standing here, can't you see? (Ooh-ooh)

Breakdown, it's alright

[Chorus]

It's alright (Ooh-ooh)

It's alright (Ah-ah, ah-ah)

[Chorus]

Breakdown

Go ahead and give it to me

Breakdown

Honey, take me through the night

(Baby, baby, breakdown) Breakdown

Now I'm standing here, can't you see? (Ooh-ooh)

Breakdown, it's alright

[Chorus]

It's alright (Ooh-ooh)

It's alright (Ah-ah, ah-ah)

[Outro]

Ooh-ooh
