That's Alright Lyrics
Laura Mvula
Lyrics
(Verse)
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 must stand and fight.
I will never be what you want and that?s alright,
I play my own damn tune, I shine like the moon.
And very soon, I?ll soon fly over you.
And what you gonna do when I fly over you?
(Chorus)
Tell me 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?
(Verse)
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.
And what it?s gonna be, I see the beauty in your eyes.
(Chorus)
Tell me 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?
(Verse)
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 the center of the universe?
Who made you the center of the universe?
Who made you the center of the universe?
