(Make your dreams come true)

[Verse 1]
You're so busy, worryin' 'bout
All of the thing you can to do nothing about
Maybe it's time to change your route
Instead of pluggin' in so much
You should look out
You have so many things to smile about
Like love

[Chorus]
For all the things you've ever dreamed
It could work out
So don't stress out (oh baby)
It will happen if it's meant to be
So don't stress out
Things could work out, baby

[Verse 2]
We go 'round, mmm, only once
Don't waste you time not having fun
You should live your life, it's all you got
Like it's always better to live than not
You have so many things to smile about
Like love

[Chorus]
For all the things you've ever dreamed
It could work out
So don't stress out (don't stress out, baby)
It will happen if it's meant to be
So don't stress out
Things could work out, baby

For all the things you've ever dreamed
It could work out (It could work out)
So don't stress out (oh don't, no, baby)
It will happen if it's meant to be
So don't stress out
Things could work out, baby

[Bridge]
Laid back in my arms
Is where you belong
Sunshine will defeat the storm
At the end of the day, ooh

[Chorus]
For all the things you've ever dreamed
It could work out
So don't stress out (oh baby)
It will happen if it's meant to be
(if it's meant to be)
So don't stress out
Things could work out, baby
(things could work out, baby)

For all the things you've ever dreamed
It could work out
So don't stress out (no no, don't stress out)
It will happen if it's meant to be
(if it's meant to be)
So don't stress out
Things could work out, baby

No baby, ooh baby
All the things you've ever dreamed, it could work out
(So don't stress out) So don't stress out, baby
Ooh, if it's meant to be
(Things could work out, baby)
No no no no

For all the things you've ever dreamed
It could work out
So don't stress out
It will happen if it's meant to be
So don't stress out
Things could work out, baby

Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds (born April 10, 1959 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is a Grammy Award-winning producer, singer, and songwriter responsible for a string of hits in the 1980s and 1990s. He has written and produced more than 20 number-one hits and won 11 Grammys—including three for Producer of the Year—for his work with Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Eric Clapton, Alicia Keys, and Toni Braxton, as well as his own work as an artist.

Babyface got his nickname from funk legend Bootsy Collins after joining his backing band in the 1970s. He joined the group Manchild in the late ‘70s—a group that also included his frequent collaborator Daryl Simmons—before moving out West and working with the group The Deele in the early 1980s, forming a bond with his bandmate and future production partner L.A. Reid. After producing the hit “Two Occasions” for The Deele, L.A. & Babyface broke off and became one of the biggest superproducer duos in R&B, rivaling the hits of fellow superproducer duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

L.A. & ‘Face had their hands in a string of #1 R&B hits in the late '80s and early '90s from artists such as Pebbles (“Girlfriend”), Karyn White (“Superwoman”), The Whispers (“Rock Steady”), Johnny Gill (“My, My, My”) and many more. They were also instrumental in the success of post-New Edition era Bobby Brown as they produced his #1 hits “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Every Little Step,” “On Our Own,” and “Humpin' Around.” They made history with Boyz II Men in 1992 as they wrote and produced “End of the Road,” which spent a record-breaking 14 consecutive weeks atop the pop chart.
