By Walter Becker & Larry Klein
He made me laugh
He made me cry
He smoked his stoggies 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 healthy cigarettes
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
Mm, 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
The working tape of Walter ad Maddie brainstorming all the things that he does in bed ("He played solitaire in bed") is pretty amusing :-)
