You can turn back the tide
Of the cold tears from your eyes
The pangs of wounded pride you hold me
Did someone do you wrong, yeah
Good lovin`s as good as gone, yeah
Maybe you ain`t as strong as you wanna be
It`s alright if you don`t wanna go home
It`s alright if you don`t wanna be alone
It`s alright if you don`t wanna go home
I understand, I understand, I understand
Nothin` stays if it`s gotta go now
You can`t get water from a stone now
Sometimes you gotta think about
the things you`re gonna love
You can point the finger at him
You can say you`re sufferin` for a sin
Somehow a never was never was yet enough
It`s alright if you don`t wanna go home
It`s alright if you don`t wanna be alone
It`s alright if you don`t wanna go home
I understand, I understand, I understand
When the morning comes
you get yourself together
To face another day
When the day is done and you ain`t feelin` good
You come walkin` my way
Now that you`re doin` alright
You`re pretty much outta sight
I don`t hear you knockin` `round my door anymore
I`m glad to hear you`re doin` well
But I know that time will tell
Only when you`re broken down,
is that what friends are for?
It`s alright if you just wanna go home
It`s alright if you just wanna be alone
It`s alright if you just wanna go home
I understand, I understand, I understand
