You've got diamonds
And I've got spades You've got pills And I've got razor blades You've got yoga honey I've got beer You got overpriced And I got weird |
Words and Music by Billy Joel
From The Nylon Curtain (1982) |
But it's alright
We're the same even though we're alone
It's alright
Yes we all need a room of our own
You've got love darlin'
I've got sex
You've got cash, mama
And I've got checks
You've got business, baby
I've got the kids
You got crowded just the way I did
But it's alright
Cause we all need a place to call home
It's alright
Yes we all need a room of our own
I can still remember packed together
Like a can of sardines
No, no, no
Pushin', shovin', that's when lovin'
Starts to come apart at the seams
Oh no, no, no, no
You've got the day shift
I've got nights
We go wrong at times
But we've got rights
You've got TV shows
I've got crime
But you've got your room, honey
And I've got mine
It's alright
It's the one thing that we should have known
Yes, it's alright
Yes, we all need a room of our own
And it's alright
Yes we all need a place to call home
It's alright
Yes we all need a room of our own
We're the same even though we're alone
It's alright
Yes we all need a room of our own
You've got love darlin'
I've got sex
You've got cash, mama
And I've got checks
You've got business, baby
I've got the kids
You got crowded just the way I did
But it's alright
Cause we all need a place to call home
It's alright
Yes we all need a room of our own
I can still remember packed together
Like a can of sardines
No, no, no
Pushin', shovin', that's when lovin'
Starts to come apart at the seams
Oh no, no, no, no
You've got the day shift
I've got nights
We go wrong at times
But we've got rights
You've got TV shows
I've got crime
But you've got your room, honey
And I've got mine
It's alright
It's the one thing that we should have known
Yes, it's alright
Yes, we all need a room of our own
And it's alright
Yes we all need a place to call home
It's alright
Yes we all need a room of our own
It's alright, it's alright
To have a room of your own
No, no, no, it's alright, yeah it's alright mama
To have a room of our own
Sometimes you've got to get away
Got to get away, got to get away
Got to get away to a room of our own
Got to have a room
Got to have a little elbow room of my own.
To have a room of your own
No, no, no, it's alright, yeah it's alright mama
To have a room of our own
Sometimes you've got to get away
Got to get away, got to get away
Got to get away to a room of our own
Got to have a room
Got to have a little elbow room of my own.
