[Verse 1]
Hey baby, it's been a while
Baby, baby, been a mighty long time
I watched you, even though you would not see, baby
(Check it)
Glad to see that you're still so fine
I remember you back when
Girl, you blew my mind
And I saw you, even though you would not see me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, baby, baby, baby

[Chorus]
Be as you are
Girl, it's okay with me (It's alright, it's alright)
You're such a star
Maybe one day you'll see (Maybe one day)
That whatever you are
I'm just hoping you'll be, as my girl (My girl)

[Verse 2]
Oh, I need to be back
Back by your side
Sugar, back way back when
Kissing was a crime
And I miss you, and I know you miss me
Baby, oh
Baby, baby, baby
[Chorus]
Be as you are
Girl, it's okay with me (Oh, it's okey-doke-doke, baby)
You're such a star
Maybe one day you'll see (Maybe one day you'll see, baby)
That whatever you are
I'm just hoping you'll be, as my girl, girl, girl

[Bridge]
Listen, listen
Baby girl, showing off causing me laughter
You're my world (My world)
Paradise from disaster
As precious as a pearl
How's about you and me ever after as my girl?

[Chorus]
Be as you are
Girl, it's okay with me (Oh, it's okey-doke-doke, baby)
You're such a star
Maybe one day you'll see (Maybe one day)
That whatever you are
I'm just hoping you'll be, as my girl
