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 never showed 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 into a woman

I´m okay, make sure 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´m just looking out
Trying to show you the way to be okay

Now I hate to see you make the same mistakes

So avoid the things that ´cause your heart to break
From a hurting brother, I ain´t trying to hate
(I ain´t tryna hate a brother)
But if you mess around with her she´ll seal your fate
You´ll 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 what I feel
You can have her ass, I don´t want her over here

I´m okay, make sure 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´m just looking out
Trying to show you the way to be okay

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)
Sing it one time
Okay, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Make sure you´ll be okay

It´s okay, it´s okay
Okay, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo
Make sure you´ll be okay
(Now that I got out, I´m just looking out)
It´s okay, it´s okay

I´m okay, make sure you´re okay
No matter how long it takes
Make sure you´re okay
And if she goes away
Make sure you´re okay
Now that I got out
I´m just looking out
Trying to show you the way to be okay

I´m okay, make sure 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´m just looking out
Trying to show you the way to be okay
Okay, okay, gotta make sure...
