Laura Mvula - That's Alright Lyrics






I will never be what you want
And that's alright
Cause my skin ain't light
And my body ain't tight
And that's alright
But if I might
I must stand and fight

I will never be what you want
And that's alright
I play my own damn tune
I shine like the moon
And very soon
I'll soon fly over you
And whatchu gonna do
When I fly over you

Tell me who made you the center of the universe?
Who made you the center of the universe?
Who made you the centre of the universe?
Who made you the centre of the universe?

And every morning when I wake up I pray for you
And then I pray for me
That soon you'll see
How love can be
Our love will set you free
And what's it gonna be
See the beauty in your eyes

Tell me who made you the center of the universe?
(Who made you judge and jury over me)
Who made you the center of the universe?
(Now leave me be)
Who made you the center of the universe?
(Don't need no rules in my world)
Who made you the center of the universe?

I will never be what you want
And that's alright
Cause my skin ain't light
And my body ain't tight

I will never be what you want
And that's alright
Cause my skin ain't light
And that's alright

Tell me who made you the center of the universe?
(Who made you judge and jury over me)
Who made you the center of the universe?
(Now leave me be)
Who made you the center of the universe?
(Don't need no rules in my world)
Who made you the center of the universe?

  6. M.... C....

    This woman is so talented. I don't mean 'just' re this. She is one of the most talented musicians and songwriters in the UK right now, with commercial and academic credibility. I sincerely hope she makes more music which does not have to question her right to just 'be' her and argue about it. I love you, Laura! xxxxxxxxxxx Make a record a that earns you a million. Fly on private jets or open a nursing home or a music school or anything. x

  7. N.... B....

    Stunningly beautiful art.

  8. b.... p....

    I’ve always heard this as a breakup song. White racists, in general, don’t care if your “skin ain’t light”. That’s usually something only black people care about. Because of I’m white, if I say that her skin is beautiful then I get accused of fetishizing her. So, she has a beauty that only dark-skinned people own, and only they are allowed to appreciate her.

    But it’s such a badass song.

  9. c.... ....

    I will never be what you want and that's alright
    'Cause my dick ain't large and my budget is tight
    I will never be what you want and that's alright
    And that's alright
    And that's alright

  98. r.... ....

    ok, no need to say what so many have already written here about **Her** ... BUT: I've seen the choreographer/dancer Aakomon Jones (astonishingly a Miles Davis' sosia) between 1'56'' and 1'58'' at least 20 times in loop and I just can't stop... this man is another wonder... Well, after all maybe I could add one thing about Her: Britten and Stravinsky would be proud of having such a Daughter. As far as I know, She is the first Artist in "pop music" to have poured in it their legacy to such an extent. Respect, Laura.
