Why Don't We - I'll Be Okay Lyrics

Why Don't We Lyrics

"I'll Be Okay"

Oh, she talks so sweet, like sugar, like candy
Makes me want to be the best man that I can be
I like that she keeps things, oh, so simple
Less stress, more...
And she got the dimples
I get scared when I think about the future
I'm a jump man, she's a promise abuser
Hell, I know that we're bad for each other
I made my own bed, but she tucked me under

Ooh-ooh
We did it for the hell of it
We did it for the good times and the bad ones
We didn't think about what shit might happen
But once you light a fire, it's gonna burn

I'll be okay to keep it simple
I'll stay outta your way and won't let you know
I need your love tonight
I need your love
I'll be okay, as long as you are
It's been the longest day and I
I need your love tonight
I need your love

I-I-I-I
Innocent of sin
Baby, in the moment we all think we know
But when it's too late, all the answers show, oh-oh
I-I-I-I
No forgiving then
All it takes is time and some selfish pride
To flip our love story on its side

Ooh-ooh
We did it for the hell of it (We did it for the hell of it)
We did it for the good times and the bad ones (Good times and the bad ones)
We didn't think about what shit might happen ('Bout what shit might happen)
But once you light a fire, it's gonna burn

I'll be okay to keep it simple
I'll stay outta your way and won't let you know (Oh)
I need your love tonight
I need your love
I'll be okay as long as you are
It's been the longest day and I (And I)
I need your love tonight (Need your love tonight)
I need your love

Stranded on an island
Can't escape, I'm tryin'
I need you to come help
I need you to come help
Baby, you're an angel
You did nothing wrong
But you've been giving me hell (You've been giving me hell)
You've been giving me hell

I'll be okay to keep it simple
I'll stay outta your way and won't let you know
I need your love tonight
Oh tonight
I'll be okay as long as you are
It's been the longest day and I (And I)
I need your love tonight (Need your love tonight)
I need your love (Ooh)
I'll be okay to keep it simple (To keep it simple)
I'll stay outta your way and won't let you know (Oh)
I need your love tonight (Need your love tonight)
I need your love

Ooh-ooh (I need your, I need your)
Ooh (Love tonight)
Need your love tonight
Oh, shit, yeah, that sounds sick
