It's OK

Tracy Chapman

It's OK

It's OK

Love is only meant for some

I'm the rock

The shoulder you can cry on

I keep the walls from falling down

I keep the walls from falling down

I keep the walls from falling down

I'll play it straight

While you laugh and drink and party all night long

I'll designate myself

To be the driver who takes you home

I keep the walls from falling down

I keep the walls from falling down

You can be pretty and tragic

I'll try to keep the walls from falling down

You can be beautiful and fabulous

I'll try to keep the walls from falling down

I can't reach the pain you feel

But I'll try to keep the walls from falling down

If you can hold on

Lose your fear

I'll try to keep the walls from falling down

Falling down

Falling down

Where is your saint?

To let you know you're not alone

To bring you peace

Help me be your friend your confidante

And keep the walls from falling down

Keep the walls from falling down

Keep the walls from falling down
