[Intro]
I just hope that you're okay
You know
You know
I just hope that you're okay

[Verse 1]
You know I love you
But I really don't see this happening anymore
You know I love you
But I really don't think that it's worth fighting for
And although I love you
There's something I need to say
I done thought a lot about it
And I think I'm gonna leave today

[Chorus]
But I hope that you're okay
You know
I just hope that you're okay
You know
And I hope that we are good
You know, that the feeling's mutual
We can work it out
And go our separate ways
I just hope that you're okay
You know
I hope that you're okay
You know

[Verse 2]
You know I love you
But I can't go through the motions anymore
You know I love you
But I know you don't feel the way you did before
And although I love you
There's something I need to say
That baby it's time to just call it a day

[Chorus]
But I hope that you're okay
You know (Oh, babe)
I just hope that you're okay
You know (Hm hm)
And I hope that we are good
You know, that the feeling's mutual
We can work it out
And go our separate ways, yeah
I just hope that you're okay, babe
You know
I just hope that you're okay
You know
I hope that you're okay
You know
I just hope that you're okay
We can work it out
And go our separate ways, ooh

[Bridge]
I know that I hurt you
And I didn't wanna hurt you
But now that I hurt you
Girl, I know I don't deserve you
If I'm really being honest here
Girl, I know you will be out of here
'Cause you don't really love me no more

[Chorus]
But I hope that you're okay
You know (Oh babe)
I just hope that you're okay
You know (Hm hm)
And I hope that we are good
You know, that the feeling's mutual
We can work it out
And go our separate ways, yeah
I just hope that you're okay, babe
You know (Oh babe)
I just hope that you're okay
You know (Hm hm)
And I hope that we are good
You know, that the feeling's mutual
We can work it out
And go our separate ways
I just hope that you're okay, ooh
I just hope that you're okay
You know
I hope that you're okay
You know
We can work it out
And go our separate ways

You know
I just hope that you're okay
You know
You know
I just hope that you're okay
You know

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.
