Hey It's Ok
Lilly Wood & The Prick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wet my bed
I swear not to do it again
Please forgive the way I looked
When I was fourteen
I didn't know who I wanted to be
Hey, it's OK, it's OK
Hey, it's OK, it's OK
'Cause I've found what I wanted
Friends and lovers please forgive
The mean things I've said
I swear not to do again
Please forgive the way I act when
I've had too much to drink
I'm fighting against myself
Hey, it's OK, it's OK
Cause I've found what I wanted
Hey, it's OK, it's OK
'Cause I've found what I wanted
And I swear not to do anything funny anymore
Yes I swear not to do anything funny anymore
Hey, it's OK, it's OK
'Cause I've found what I wanted
Hey, it's OK, it's OK
'Cause I've found what I wanted
Hey, it's OK, it's OK
'Cause I've found what I wanted
Hey, it's OK, it's OK
'Cause I've found what I wanted
