Madeleine Peyroux: I'm Alright....



I'm still feeling a little traumatized by the crazy roller coaster of events that unfolded in my life in 2009. 
So I've got this tune stuck in my head today, and I'm dedicating it to myself:


Watch Madeleine Peyroux's "I'm Alright."


"I'm All Right"


He made me laugh
He made me cry
He smoked his stogies in bed
But I'm all right
I'm all right


I've been lonely before
I asked the boy for a few kind words
He gave me a novel instead


But I'm all right
I'm all right
I've been lonely before


It's fine, it's OK


It was wrong either way
I just wanted to say
There isn't much fun when you're drinking wine


He got drunk, he fell down
He threw a few of my things around
But I'm all right


I'm all right
I've been lonely before


I'd like to believe that it's easy to leave
But I have to conceive that wherever you are
You're still driving my car
Sticks and stones break my bones
But tears don't leave any scars


So I'm all alright
I'm all alright


I've been lonely before


Mmm...
I'm all alright
I'm all alright
I'm all alright


Yeah


He played solitaire in bed....
Used to blow bubbles in bed...
He sang Christmas songs in bed....
