[Verse 1: Nathan Morris]
The first thing I did wrong
Was hook up with a girl that wasn't grown
She looked like a woman but her mind worked like a child
It was her girlish qualities that made me smile (Made me so happy)
The outside didn't show me what was in
And her ending didn't look like it began
Now I know and it's for sure
That you can't change a girl to a woman

[Chorus: Nathan Morris, Boyz II Men]
I'm okay, make sure you're okay (Okay)
No matter how long it takes
Make sure that you're okay (Okay)
And if she goes away
Make sure that you're okay (Okay)
Now that I got out (I got out)
I'm just looking out (I'm just looking out)
Trying to show you the way to be okay

[Verse 2: Wanya Morris]
I'd hate to see you make the same mistake
So avoid the things that 'cause your heart to break (Try to avoid them)
From a hurting brother, I ain't tryna hate
(I ain't a hater, brother)
But if you mess around with her she'll seal your fate (Yes, she will)
You'll never see it coming 'til it's there
(Never see it coming 'til it's there)
And you'll find out that she doesn't really care (She don't)
And it's real (And it's real) what I feel (What I feel)
You can have her ass, I don't want her over here
[Chorus: Boyz II Men, Wanya Morris]
I'm okay, make sure you're okay
No matter how long it takes
You better make sure that you're okay
And if she goes away
Make sure you're okay (Okay)
Now that I got out (I got out)
I'm just looking out (I'm just looking out)
Trying to show you the way to be okay

[Bridge: Shawn Stockman, Boyz II Men, Wanya Morris]
If you decide to stay, it's alright (It's your decision)
But take heed to what I say, you'll be alright (Listen to what I'm saying)
If you decide to go, then go now (You better leave her)
Don't look back because she'll only bring you down
Oh, bring you down
Bring you down
Bring you down (Bring you down)
Sing it one time
Okay (Okay), woo, woo, woo, woo, woo (Woo, woo, woo)
Make sure you'll be okay (Better believe it)
It's okay, it's okay
Oh, say it again, yeah
Okay, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Okay, make sure, woo, woo
Make sure you'll be okay
Now that I got out, I'm just looking out
Okay
Oh, oh, oh, oh, okay
Be okay
[Chorus: Boyz II Men, Wanya Morris]
I'm okay, make sure you're okay (You're okay)
No matter how long it takes
Make sure you're okay
And if she goes away
You better make sure you're okay
Now that I got out (I got out)
I'm just looking out (I'm just looking out)
Trying to show you the way to be okay
I'm okay (I don't know), you're okay
No matter how long it takes
Make sure that you're okay
And if she goes away
Make sure that you're okay
Now that I got out (I got out)
I'm just looking out (I'm just looking out)
Trying to show you the way to be okay

[Outro: Wanya Morris]
Okay, okay, gotta make sure
Oh, oh, oh, yeah-yeah, oh
