Q&A

You're OK Lyrics

I am wrought with paranoia
For I have brought myself before you
Nakedly awaiting you're okay
Now could I be that I annoy you
Flaunting ways that I adore you
I have no control here either way

I awake at night with it
And in spite of it
It unravels me
It's begun to frighten me

Is it so that my persistence
Blocks the path of least resistance?
Maybe I'm just getting in your way

But I'm alright
If you're okay
I'm alright
If you're okay

Can you offer some assistance?
Let me in on how for instance
I should be convincing you to sway

I awake at night with it
And in spite of it, it unravels me
It's begun to frighten me

But I'm alright
If you're okay
Yeah, I'm alright

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

As a fairly hetero guy, may I say that this song, and the whole "All You Can Eat" album is a masterpiece of sexual expression that transcends gender or sexual identity, and just speaks of pure human emotion. The best soundtrack to engagement in a sexual relationship I have ever heard.
