It's Ok
Tempah Tinie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's ok (Let it all out let the tears fall down)
Did some things behind you baby don't you say
It's ok(Any minute expecting for you to walk now)
Why don't you cry now, why don't you cry now?
'Cause then I know you still feel something for me
But I truly know its over when I hear you say
It's ok
You told me you were down for whatever
I thought you'd be around me forever
You were my New York girl with some LA
Ambition and a really good Christian
You knocked me down like a featherweight
Try'na fuck around with a heavyweight
How the hell could you say in the middle of the night
That we should call it a day?
I'd rather fucking do a bit of prison time
You had a key to every single thing of mine
My house my car my motherfucking heart
I guess we didn't agree to the same deal
I guess that she was tired of the same spiel
Now I'm in the meat packing dialling 911
Try'na tell 'em how this pain feels
So run away, run along
Thought we were fate but we were wrong
We were wrong
'cos when men lie their women cry but she won't
I can't breathe, I won't cope
I need a drink, I wanna smoke
'cos I'm the cigarette butt of my own jokes
Hands held high and my back against the ropes
If blood is thicker than water, we were thicker than blood
Now I'm feeling for something I can't touch
Feeling guilty whilst you be up in the club
Shit I been caught so who am I to judge
Try'na regain my composure
I guess this is the end of the road huh
And after 25 times of hearing
Please leave a message after the tone
I know
Girl I've been unfaithful baby don't you say
It's ok (Let it all out let the tears fall down)
Did some things behind you baby don't you say
It's ok(Any minute expecting for you to walk now)
Why don't you cry now, why don't you cry now?
'Cause then I know you still feel something for me
But I truly know its over when I hear you say
It's ok
You put your nail on the coffin had a finger on the trigger
Said she ever going down she taking everything with her
Took something so good and made it redder than the colour
On the bottom of her slippers
And not a word from your mother yet
Even though I made you suffer like a suffragette
Fucking busy I was busy fucking round another woman
Undercover like a Brian Ferry album
So run away, run along
From the people and places where you belong
Just imagine the gossip in the salon
Make me feel dumb for fooling round with them blondes
But love heals all things gradually
This is something out a Shakespeare tragedy
And even though we ain't happily ever after
I just hope you're living after happily
Girl I've been unfaithful baby don't you say
It's ok (Let it all out let the tears fall down)
Did some things behind you baby don't you say
It's ok(Any minute expecting for you to walk now)
Why don't you cry now, why don't you cry now?
'Cause then I know you still feel something for me
But I truly know its over when I hear you say
