Are You Okay? Lyrics by Was (Not Was)

Are You Okay?

0

[Intro]
She's tripping and flipping, flying and crying
Trying to remember her name
She's moping and groping, rope-a-dope
Washing her hair in the rain
She's tripping and flipping, flying and crying
Trying to remember her name
She's moping and groping, rope-a-dope
Washing her hair in the rain
Oh yeah, are you okay?
Are you okay?
Oh baby, are you okay?

[Verse 1]
Judy, she don't work here any more
I don't know, she might be working over at the other store
Mmm, I haven't seen her in a whole month
You a friend of hers or what?
You stared at me 'til your eyeballs smoked
Was it anger or love or the caffeine in your coke?
I searched my soul for words to soothe you
Nothing that I did ever seems to move you

[Chorus]
Was it something that I did or didn't say?
Yeah, are you okay? (I wanna know, I wanna know)
Are you okay? (I wanna know, I wanna know)
Are you okay, oh baby? (I wanna know, I wanna know)
Are you okay? (I wanna know, I wanna know), whoa I

[Verse 2]
Yeah, you know Judy
She could always hide but she can't run
She never knew the meaning of fun
Once she had a car, you know, her uncle gave her
But that got totaled, that's Judy
You spoke in tongues 'til your voice gave out
You were friendly with your demons
Of this there's little doubt
You scratched my soul with a monkey's paw
You've broken every rule, every earthly law

[Chorus]
Was it something that I did or didn't say?
Oh, are you okay? (I wanna know, I wanna know)
Are you okay? (I wanna know, I wanna know)
Are you okay, oh baby? (I wanna know, I wanna know)
Are you okay? (I wanna know, I wanna know), whoa I

[Bridge]
She's tripping and flipping, flying and crying
Trying to remember her name (Yeah yeah)
She's moping and groping, rope-a-dope
Washing her hair in the rain (Washing her hair in the rain)
She's tripping and flipping, flying and crying
Trying to remember her name (Oh whoa whoa)
She's moping and groping, rope-a-dope
Washing her hair in the rain

[Verse 3]
You caught my head in a catcher's glove
Did I somehow offend you or is this what you call love?
You dropped me off at the laundromat
You gave me all your clothes but you never came back

[Chorus]
Was it something that I did or didn't say?
Oh yeah, are you okay? (I wanna know, I wanna know)
Are you okay? (I wanna know, I wanna know)
Are you okay, oh baby? (I wanna know, I wanna know)
Are you okay? (I wanna know, I wanna know), whoa I

[Outro]
You spoke in tongues 'til your voice gave out
(I wanna know, I wanna know)
Oh yeah (I wanna know, I wanna know)
You were friendly with your demons
(I wanna know, I wanna know)
Of this there's little doubt
(I wanna know, I wanna know)
Are you okay?
(I wanna know, I wanna know)
Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma
(I wanna know, I wanna know)
Whoa I, Ma ma ma, oh baby
(I wanna know, I wanna know)
Oh (I wanna know, I wanna know)
(I wanna know, I wanna know)
(I wanna know, I wanna know)
Are you okay?
(I wanna know, I wanna know)
Ma ma ma ma
(I wanna know, I wanna know)
