Everything’s good and everything’s fine
I know what’s yours and I know what’s mine
I’ve got control over what I got
It don’t bother me that it’s not a lot
I’ve got no time for what you believe
Cuz I’m not stupid and I’m not naive
I don’t know why it’s so important to say
Doesn’t matter if it’s true I’m going to tell you I’m okay.

I don’t need to listen when you call it denial
All I ever need is my convincing smile
I got some friends who believe what I say
The others I don’t see a lot these days
Maybe its true that the country’s dying
Most everybody seems to have given up trying
But me I’m good and I’ve made the call
I’ll vote for that guy who says he will fix it all

I’m OK
Pay no attention to what you see, believe me when I say
I’m OK
You ask me if I want to have a chat
So you can ask again where I’m at
But I don’t have anything left to say
I already told you I’m OK

And when I tell you
That I’m ok
It don’t mean I’m good
It’s something I say
OK means
You can leave me alone
I can be trusted to
Be on my own

You don’t know me
Though you think you do
You got no idea
What I’ve been through
I’ve done my tIme
That’s all I’m willing to say
No matter how it looks
All you need to know is I’m OK

I aint go no privilege – at least not a lot
I’ve worked hard for everything I got
I never had any anything that aided me
I just worked hard and then they paid me
Now I’ve got this pile of stuff
One day I just might have enough
If I work hard enough on being OK
It might turn out to be true one day

I’m OK
Pay no attention to what I do, believe me when I say
I’m OK
It took me time to learn to be OK
But now I plan on staying that way
And I don’t anything left to say
Cuz I already told you I’m OK
I already told you I’m OK
