Abdul, Paula - Alright Tonight Lyrics






YOU CAME DOWN
A TWISTED UP ROAD
YOU'VE BEEN TRAVELING
FOR LIGHT YEARS

YOU GOT HERE THE SAME TIME

THOSE TEARS FOUND THEIR WAY

DOWN YOUR FACE
I FOUGHT WITH THE LAWS TOOTH AND NAIL
AND I TRAVELED BY NIGHT, DEAR

YOU'RE A SIGHT FOR SORE EYES I'VE BEEN LOOKING ALL OVER THE PLACE

UP WHERE THE ANGELS SIGH
DOWN WHERE THE DREAMS GET SMASHED ON THE ROCKS
YOU AND I

WAIT TO BEGIN AGAIN
LIFTED ABOVE BY A LOVE
THAT DOES NOT END

[Chorus:]
I'M ALRIGHT TONIGHT
I'M ALRIGHT

YOU'RE ALRIGHT TONIGHT
YOU'RE ALRIGHT

WE'RE ALRIGHT TONIGHT
IT'S ALRIGHT TONIGHT

YOU PICKED UP SOME PIECES OF LIGHT
AS YOU BROKE THROUGH THE SPEED OF SOUND

I WAS ROCKIN' AROUND IN MY OWN TWO-DIMENSIONAL WAY

NOW WHEN I HEAR THAT JET ENGINE BLOW
THEN I KNOW YOU ARE LEAVING TOWN

BABY, I'D FOLLOW YOU TO THE EDGE OF IT ALL, ANYWAY

UP WHERE THE KINGDOM COMES
DOWN WHERE THE STREETS TAKE THE BREATH OF ANOTHER YOUNG GUN
LOVE IS A WHISPERED PRAYER
SHOT LIKE A SPARK THROUGH THE HEART
OF DARK DESPAIR

[Chorus]

I DON'T REGRET ANY NINETEEN-YEAR-OLD INDISCRETIONS
I CAN STILL FIT BOTH MY FEET IN MY MOUTH, ANYWAY
BUT THESE DAYS I'M JUST NOT AS WILLING TO NURSE THE OBSESSION
(NO NO NO)

IF THE DOC SAYS IT'S GOT TO COME OUT
THEN I'M HAPPY TO PAY

[Chorus x2]

Abdul, Paula Alright Tonight Comments
  1. S.... L....

    Crazy I’ve been listening to this album since I was 9 and just caught the lyrics... they just zoned me out. But I love the song. Good vibes

  2. G.... C....

    Fa cacare

  3. F.... S....

    Awesome

  4. k.... n....

    This is prolly my fav paula song and I was born in 86 so obvi I have a lot of favs from her. I couldn't think of the name to look up just now and was like wtf was no. 10 on Spellbound? Yesssssss

  5. c.... c....

    I'm only 24. Paula is better than 96% of pop stars in the last 12 years. I don't even know what MOST of them sound like and I know this is better. I may know some names but could not tell you ANYTHING of theirs that they've had on the radio. Tailer swift RUINED the pop genre when he started in 2006. The *ONLY* talents left are Leona lewis jordin sparks Katy perry and one republic even though katy is the one I listen to the most out of the four

  6. B.... ....

    Would have been a great 5th single.

  7. B.... G....

    Paula Abdul a total freak and genius of unleashed proportion never matched by any other singer in her era and decade

  8. S.... O....

    Paula Abdul’s is my favorite singer and I love my favorite singer alot

  9. E.... F....

    I had always thought this would have made a fantastic single for the summer. It was very different from anything else on that album (and in her career up until that point). Its a shame it didn't get more popularity.

  10. B.... F....

    Why does this have so few views? She was really famous. Heck most people my age around where I live know of her

    B.... F....

    Her other more popular songs have millions of views. This one seems to be a cult favorite among fans, myself included.

  11. B.... F....

    My favorite Paula Abdul song

    B.... F....

    Ben Falkner not possible to have a favorite from talent like this

  12. o.... o....

    Limbo time!!!!

  13. I.... ....

    Great song!  Written by John Hiatt and produced by Don Was.

  14. R.... G....

    I've ALWAYS loved this song and I hoped for a video for it...for me, I pictured Paula on a Jamaican Beach and in Jamaican village market because for me it has a that Jamaican sound to it....

    R.... G....

    like omg, I always envisioned a beach bond fire to this song, with gypsy clothing

  15. L.... K....

    When I was little, I always used to skip this song, and now it's my favorite on the album.

    L.... K....

    +Lauren Kuhnen i did the same. never cared for it back then

    L.... K....

    You grew to appreciate it.

  16. T.... ....

    god I love this song, brings back so many memories that just come flooding back from my teen years

  17. m.... ....

    ok good.
