It's alright, baby's coming back
And I don't really care where he's been, no
It's alright, baby's coming back
And I won't turn him around this time, no, no, no

I'll be your cliff (you can fall down from me)
I'll be your ledge (you can lean upon me)
I'll be your bridge (your flowering tree)
You can still depend on me

And I'll be (the ticking of your clock)
And I'll be (the numbers on your watch)
And I'll be (your hands to stop the time)
I'll even be your danger sign

It's alright, baby's coming back
And I don't really care where he's been
It's alright, baby's coming back
And I won't turn him around this time, no

And I'll be (your grace, your dignity)
And I'll be (your night, your destiny)
And I'll be (your comfort and your ease)
I will be your storm at seas

And I'll be (your sharp intake of breath)
And I'll be (your work, I'll take no rest)
And when the world falls to decline
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
It's alright, baby's coming back

And I don't really care where he's been
And I'll be (your cliff, you can fall down from me)
And I'll be (your ledge, you can lean upon me)
And I'll be (your bridge, your flowering tree)
You can still depend on me

And I'll be (the ticking of your clock)
And I'll be (the numbers on your watch)
And I'll be (your hands to stop the time)
I'll even be your danger sign

Ooh, I, ooh

It's alright, baby's coming back (aha, aha, yeah)
And I won't turn him around this time, yeah
It's alright, baby's coming back (take it easy, make him safe tonight)
And I don't really care where he's been (take it easy, make him safe tonight)

It's alright, baby's coming back (take it easy, make him safe tonight)
And I won't turn him around this time, no (take it easy, make him safe tonight)
It's alright, baby's coming back (take it easy, make him safe tonight)
And I don't really care where he's been (take it easy, make him safe tonight)

It's alright, baby's coming back (take it easy, make him safe tonight)
And I won't turn him around this time, no (take it easy, make him safe tonight)
It's alright, baby's coming back
