She was so attractive
Her parents overprotective
Met a little boy with a Lexus
They made out on a mattressShe thought he loves her
But now he don't even bother
Had a little baby named Donna
But Donna ain't got no fatherSeventeen can't occur
All they saw was a dumb young girl
Spend a little dough
(Spend a little dough)
Talk a little game
(Look what that got you)She was young and she didn't know
All they play on the radio
All they show in the video
How could she say no?(It's alright, it's okay)
You don't have to explain a thing
I know what's it like looking for someone to love
(It's okay, it's alright)
You can come and stay with me tonight
You can cry on my shoulder
(You can cry on my shoulder)
Just come on overIt's alright
It's okay
It's alrightNow Brenda lived in Michigan, always seemed a little different
Met another girl at the college, then came out of the closet
(College, closet)
All the friends she had before, they don't come around no more
She feels so abandoned, won't even leave her apartment, no(Hates her life, hates herself)
Just wanna be like everybody else
Can't go home
(Can't go home)
What will they say?
She ran awayShe was young and innocent
She gave in to prejudice
No one came and heard a thing
Haven't seen her since(It's alright, it's okay)
You don't have to explain a thing
I know what's it like, looking for someone to love, oh
(It's okay, it's alright)
You can come and stay with me tonight
You can cry on my shoulder
(You can cry on my shoulder)
Just come on overIt's alright, it's okay
It's alright
It's okay, it's alrightIt's okay if you want stay, it's alright if you want to go
(Want to go)
My arms are open wide, I just gotta let you know
No matter what they say, I'm going to stay right by you side
I'll be there for you, everything is going to be alright
Alright(It's alright, it's okay)
You don't have to explain a thing
I know what's it like, looking for someone to love, oh
(It's okay, it's alright)
You can come and stay with me tonight
You can cry on my shoulder
(You can cry on my shoulder)
Just come on over(It's alright, it's okay)
I know what it's like, looking for someone to love
