{Intro: bass riff by John Entwistle}

[Verse 1]
Wide awake in the middle of the night
I wonder how she's feeling
Is it just a trick of the light
Or is her ceiling peeling?
She's sitting up in bed, shaking her head
At a copy of "True Confessions"
Oh it must seem like a fairy tale
To a woman of her profession

[Chorus]
But was I all right? (was I all right?)
Did I take you to the height of ecstasy?
Was I all right? (was I all right?)
Did a shadow of emotion cross your face

[Hook]
Or was it just another trick of the light?

{Bass solo: John Entwistle}

[Chorus]

[Hook]
