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'mma stand and fight
I will never be what you want
And that's alright
I'll play my own damn tune
I'll shine like the moon
And very soon
I'll soon fly over you
And what you gonna do
When I fly over you
And who made you the center of the universe
Who made you the center of the universe
Who made you the center of the universe
Who made you the center 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
What's it gonna be
See the beauty in your eyes
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'mma stand and fight
I will never be what you want
And that's alright
I'll play my own damn tune
I'll shine like the moon
And very soon
I'll soon fly over you
And what you gonna do
When I fly over you
And who made you the center of the universe
Who made you the center of the universe
Who made you the center of the universe
Who made you the center 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
What's it gonna be
See the beauty in your eyes
[Chorus]
And 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
[Chorus]
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
And 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
[Chorus]
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
