[Verse 1]
Return to the city, lookin' for a friend, she shouldn't be too hard to find
There's only one or two places she could be, especially this time of night
I didn't tell her I'm in town or I'd be coming 'round, I'm steppin' into her work
She greets me casually, yeah hands me a drink
I wait 'til six in the morning for her

[Chorus]
She says it's alright
That cha haven't written or been here for a while
(I've been here for a while)
Just grab your things and come on over
Stay with me at my house (stay with me)
She says it's alright, yeah

[Verse 2]
It's half past four, the afternoon, oh we wake up
There's no phones to disturb us, lazing around, isolated from all of the fuss
She smokes a couple hundred cigarettes and hands me the keys
Oh while she gets ready for work
Be back at seven in the morning to let her in, that's about when she returns

[Chorus]
She says it's alright
That you don't speak the language, I know that you barely try
(I know you barely try)
I love The Smiths and my cigarettes, like you in my bed
But, I don't need you to get by (don't need you)
She says it's alright, yeah
