[Intro: Heavy D and Janet Jackson]

It's alright, uh

Don’t worry about a thing

Whatever happens, whatever may come, whatever may be

It's cool, I got it covered, beloved, from A to Z

I'm the overweight lover, Heavy bon-diddley-D

And you can flip on a trip but it’s alright with me

If things were meant to be, to be and be meant

And what I'm here to represent is excellence

If you need any help, open your eyes

And it's Heavy D that you will see 'cause you're alright with me

Alright with me

Hi, hi, hi, sure 'nough

Alright with me


[Verse 1: Janet Jackson]

Seeing that your love's true

Never I'll doubt you

My heart belongs to you

That’s alright with me

Worlds could end around me

So in love that I can’t see

You and me were meant to be

That's alright with me


[Chorus: Janet Jackson]

Friends come and friends may go

My friend, you’re real I know

True self you have shown

You're alright with me

Through thick and thick to thin

I'll love you 'til the end

You know it’s true, my friend

You're alright with me


[Post-Chorus: Janet Jackson]

Alright, alright with me

Alright, shoo-bee-doop-bee-doop

Alright, alright with me

Alright with me


[Verse 2: Janet Jackson]

Catch a fallin' star that shines

Make a wish, clap three times

Dreams come true it's in the mind

That's alright with me

Your wish is my command

Never thought I'd fall in love again

Again with my best friend

That's alright with me


[Chorus: Janet Jackson]

Friends come and friends may go

My friend, you're real I know

True self you have shown

You're alright with me

Through thick and thick to thin

I'll love you 'til the end

You know it's true my friend

You're alright with me

Always and everlasting

This love is just not passing

We're happy as can be

Alright with me


[Post-Chorus: Janet Jackson]

Alright, alright with me

Alright, shoo-bee-doop-bee-doop

Alright, alright with me

Alright with me


[Interlude]

It's alright, baby

It's alright, I tell you that it's alright with me

Alright with me


[Verse 3: Heavy D]

Now be it thick as a milkshake

Or thin as a cornflake

I love you to death but I ain't pressed for the heartbreak

And anyway, who cares about what other people talk about?

I'd rather hear it from the horse's mouth

See, I believe in, being believed in

No love lives, no low tides, it's all paper thin

But watch for the trickery, some people are slippery

They appear making history, disappear like a mystery

It ain't your fault but you're a walking bank vault

Some people unliked make love as bitter as salt

They say what they want to say

Play how they want to play

But you got to live your life day by day

In order to survive you overlook and overcome

Selfish attitude or lack of gratitude for the dumb

It ain't easy being you and everything you wanna be

But whatever you do is alright with me

The bon-diddly-dee

The overweight lover MC, the cap

The rap, the hand clap, foot tap

Heavy D, dee, dee, dee


[Outro: Janet Jackson]

It's alright now, it's alright now, it's alright now

Alright with me

It's alright now

Alright with me

Alright with me

Alright with me

Baby baby, baby babe

Baby baby, baby babe

Baby baby, baby babe
