I still remember that night
It was the fourth of July
It's still engraved in my mind
And I'm not surprised
Gang wars, no guns, hand to hand
You're black, I'm white, he's purple
But I still don't understand
I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be okay
Everything is going to be fine
Back off
I wanna be alone
I want to think it out
And I'm thinking that I want to go home
Look who's laughing now (Look who's laughing now)
I'll pull it off somehow, what he said
As I passed her by
I could see her cry
And I'll never forget
The look that was in her eye
And the music
You know it played on and on and on
So won't somebody tap her on the shoulder
Tell her life goes on
Three years, two months, one week, four days
I'm always counting down
Because there ain't no easier way
Trust me
You know that I tried
And if I said it was easy
Then you know that I told a lie
I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be just fine
One down, five billion to go
Am I the next in line
And do I really wanna know?
Look who's laughing now (Look who's laughing now)
I'll pull it off somehow, what he said
As I passed her by
I could see her cry
And I'll never forget
The look that was in her eye
And the music
You know it played on and on and on
So won't somebody tap her on the shoulder
Tell her life goes on
Still remember that night
It was the fourth of July
It's still engraved in my mind
And I'm not surprised
Gang wars, no guns, hand to hand
You're black, I'm white, he's purple
But I still don't understand
I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be okay
Everything is going to be fine
Back off 'cause I wanna be alone
I want to think it out
And I'm thinking that I want to go
Three years, two months, one week, four days
I'm always counting down
Because there ain't no easier way
Trust me
You know that I tried
And if I said it was easy
Then you know that I told a lie
I'm gonna be alright
I'm gonna be
Just fine
One down, five billion to go
Am I the next in line
And do I really want to know?
Look who's laughing now
I'll pull it off somehow, what he said

And I'll never forget
The look that was in her eye

You know it played on and on and on
So won't somebody tap her on the shoulder
Tell her life goes on
