It's gonna be OK

OK
OK

Hey little star, don't be afraid
We all fall apart and make mistakes
Don't you know nothing ever seem to make sense
You put your dancing shoes on and do it again
You know I believe it if you say you can

So when you feel like it's all pretend
Then you look into my eyes
Just say one true thing like you mean it
And, baby, just look into my eyes

The sun's gonna shine on all of us
We're all the same - stardust and stuff
You're just a little boy and I'm just a little girl
Programmed rebels in a cruel, cruel world
We never get what we deserve

So when you feel like it's all pretend
Then you look into my eyes
Just say one true thing like you mean it
And, baby, just look into my eyes

And though I bet you think it's better on the inside, there with them
We're better off outside looking back in
I know you think you're lost but you think again
When you look into my eyes

OK

Hey little star, come take my hand
You'll feel better tomorrow
Tomorrow I'm still your friend

So when you feel like it's all pretend
Then you look into my eyes
Just say one true thing like you mean it
And, baby, just look into my eyes

I bet you think it's better on the inside, there with them
We're better off outside looking back in
I know you think you're lost but you think again
When you look into my eyes

OK

Little star
I got you
I got you
You'll be OK
You'll be OK

It is really very simple
Just a single pulse, repeated at a regular interval

Mmm, hmm
Don't include me out, no
Don't include me out

One time for the records and the hits
Two for your money-maker, shake, boom
Three times for the lucky and the dead

One time for the sorry and safe
Two for the beggar and his company
Three times for the sinner and the saint

Yeah, bow down all you wicked and the vain
Bow to the miracle, the em, na, na
Three times and the devil will be gone

One time for the fire, bring it on
Two for the boogie, gotta bang the beat
Three times for the ladies, show me some love

Talking 'bout everyone, every day, all day

And if your world should fall apart
There's plenty room inside my heart
Just don't include me out
Don't include me out

And if your world should fall apart
I still got room inside my heart
Just don't include me out
Don't include me out, d-d-don't include me out

All hail to the mamas who hold it down
Hail to the pillar of the family
This one's for the granny, take a bow

One time for the crazy and the bent
Come on, all you trannies click your heels for me
All praise the fugeses and the gems

Talking 'bout everyone, every day, all day, oh yeah

And if your world should fall apart
There's plenty room inside my heart
Just don't include me out
Just don't include me out

And if your world should fall apart
I still got room inside my heart
Just don't include me out
Don't include me out, d-d-don't include me out

Can I get a beat, beat for all of my watchamacallits
Doing whatever and with whoever they like?
Can I get a beat, beat for all of my watchamacallits
Doing whatever and with whoever they like?

Can I get a bam, bam for all of my watchamacallits
Doing whatever and with whoever they like?
Can I get a bam, bam for all of my watchamacallits
Doing whatever and with whoever they like?

I'm talking about everyone, every day, all day, hey

And if your world should fall apart
There's plenty room inside my heart
Just don't include me out
Don't include me out

And if your world should fall apart
I still got room inside my heart
Just don't include me out
Don't include me out

And if your world should fall apart
There's plenty room inside my heart
Just don't include me out, hey, hey

And if your world should fall apart
I still got room inside my heart, yeah
Just don't include me out, hey

Will you tell me once again
How we're gonna be just friends
If you're for real and not pretend
Then guess you can hang with me
You can hang with me

When my patience's wearin' thin
When I'm ready to give in
Will you pick me up again
- Then I guess you can hang with me
You can hang with me

And if you do me right
I'm gonna do right by you
And if you keep it tight
I'm gonna confide in you
I know what's on your mind
there will be time for that too
if you hang with me
hang with me

Just don't fall
recklessly, headlessly in love with me
Cause its gonna be
All heartbreak
blissfully painful and insanity
if we agree

Oh you can hang with me

When you see me drift astray
outta touch and outta place
will you tell me to my face?
then I guess you can hang with me

And if you do me right
I'm gonna do right by you
And if you keep it tight
I'm gonna confide in you
I know what's on your mind
there will be time for that too
if you hang with me
hang with me

Just don't fall
recklessly, headlessly in love with me
Cause its gonna be
All heartbreak
blissfully painful and insanity
if we agree you can hang with me

Just don't fall
recklessly, headlessly in love with me
Cause its gonna be
All heartbreak
blissfully painful and insanity
if we agree

Oh you can hang with me
Hang with me

If you're looking for love
Get a heart made of steel 'cus you know that love kills
Don't go messing with love
It'll hurt you for real, don't you know that love kills

If you're looking for love
Get a heart made of steel 'cus you know that love kills
Don't go messing with love
It'll hurt you for real, don't you know that love kills

Protect yourself, 'cus you'll wreck yourself
In this cold, hard world, so check yourself
You conceal your dreams and you shield yourself
'Til that one kind soul reveals itself

Protect yourself, 'cus you'll wreck yourself
In this cold, hard world, so check yourself
You conceal your dreams and you shield yourself
'Til that one kind soul reveals itself

If you're looking for love
Get a heart made of steel 'cus you know that love kills
Don't go messing with love
It'll hurt you for real, don't you know that love kills

If you're looking for love
Get a heart made of steel 'cus you know that love kills
Don't go messing with love
It'll hurt you for real, don't you know that love kills

Mm, and I know when you're in too deep you still think of me, sometimes
Stockholm syndrome and misery, there's a penalty for love crimes

Protect yourself, 'cus you'll wreck yourself
In this cold, hard world, so check yourself
You conceal your dreams and you shield yourself
'Til that one kind soul reveals itself

Protect yourself, 'cus you'll wreck yourself
In this cold, hard world, so check yourself
You conceal your dreams and you shield yourself
'Til that one kind soul reveals itself

Protect yourself
So check yourself

Mm, and I know when you're in too deep you still think of me, sometimes
Stockholm syndrome and misery, there's a penalty for love crimes

You conceal your dreams and you shield yourself
In this cold, hard world, don't you know that love kills

Protect yourself, 'cus you'll wreck yourself
In this cold, hard world, 'cus you know that love kills
You conceal your dreams and you shield yourself
In this cold, hard world, don't you know that love kills

Protect yourself, 'cus you'll wreck yourself
In this cold, hard world, 'cus you know that love kills
You conceal your dreams and you shield yourself
In this cold, hard world, don't you know that love kills

We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat of the continents shifting under our feet
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat of a new, better, faster breed
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat of radioactivity blocking the exits
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat of false math and unrecognised genius
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat of distorted knowledge passed on
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat of a distant rumble
We dance to the beat
We dancing
And it's loud and proud
And it's loud and proud
And it's loud and proud

We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat

We dance to the beat of silent mutation
We dance to the beat of your brain not evolving fast enough
We dance to the beat of raw talent wasted
We dance to the beat of bad kissers clicking teeth
We dance to the beat of opportunity knocking
We dance to the beat of an eviction next door
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
Of another recycled rebellion
Of consolidating assets
Of another crowd losing it
Of your voice breaking up in static
Of suburbia burning
Of communication gone mad
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat

And we don't stop
And we don't stop
And we don't stop
And we don't stop
And we don't stop

We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
And we don't stop
And we don't stop

We dance to the beat of a billion charges of endorphin
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat of a love lost and then won back
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat of source code and conjuring
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat of gravity giving us a break
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance to the beat
We dance...

Somebody alert the authorities, I got criminal intent
Conspiracy to engage in lewd and indecent acts and events
I'mma wind it, grind it, oh my, I'mma say it again
Somebody alert the authorities, she's got criminal intent

Somebody alert the authorities, I got criminal intent
Conspiracy to engage in lewd and indecent acts and events
I'mma wind it, grind it, oh my, I'mma say it again

- Will the defendant please rise? State your full name for the record.
- Robyn
- Do you wish to say anything before the sentence is imposed?
- I do your Honor!

You know, from time to time
I need to get down
Unwind and just bump and grind
Get my shot on, have some fun
A little dirty never hurt anyone
I admit, I can get somewhat X-rated on the floor
But your Honor, how's that something you get incarcerated for?

I-I-I done nothing that's wrong
????????????? something that's frowned upon
I object most strongly Judge, they played my song

Somebody alert the authorities, I got criminal intent
Conspiracy to engage in lewd and indecent acts and events
I'mma wind it, grind it, oh my, I'mma say it again
Somebody alert the authorities, she's got criminal intent

Conspiracy to engage in lewd and indecent acts and events
I'mma wind it, grind it, oh my, I'mma say it again
Somebody alert the authorities, I got criminal intent

Y-yo-yo Judge, may the record reflect the fact
I don't have any priors
Besides, would you pardon me
For being inappropriately attired?
But yo, listen, them cuffs down at county
Totally ripped up my pantyhose
And some snitch punk at legal aid
Stole my voucher for court clothes

I done nothing that's wrong
????????? something that's frowned upon
I object most strongly Judge, they played my song

Somebody alert the authorities, I got criminal intent
Conspiracy to engage in lewd and indecent acts and events
I'mma wind it, grind it, oh my, I'mma say it again
Somebody alert the authorities, she's got criminal intent

Somebody alert the authorities, I got criminal intent
Conspiracy to engage in lewd and indecent acts and events
I'mma wind it, grind it, oh my, I'mma say it again
Somebody alert the authorities, I got criminal intent

I've gone around the world and the seven seas
I'm cashin' six-figure checks in all currencies
It's like when I be tearin' it up in Paris
Motherfuckers parler on the m-i-c
It's all "ooh la la" and "ahh oui oui"
Sippin' vin blanc in our lingerie
Choppin' heads off with madame guillotine
Even the French know better than to fuck with me

Comment allez-vous Robyn, what it do
I'm in the UK (why?) got a show to do (uh-huh)
It's big Snoopy Dogg, check the catalog
I'm overseas gettin' cheese with this dialogue
I missed my plane to Spain so I'm stuck in Colonna
I'm sippin' Saronno with this chick named Ramona
She wants me to take a flick on her phone-ah
Then take her to my hotel room and then bone her

You know when in Rome I sat down with the Romans
Said "We need a black pope and she better be a woman"
There'll be no more celibacy
Even the Vatican knows not to fuck with me

You should know better
Y-You should know better
You should know better than to fuck with me
If you knew better you would do better
You should know better
Y-You should know better
You should know better than to fuck with me
If you knew better you would do better

We big-ballin' in Holland, Amsterdam my man
I got a table at the coffee shop
Where we like to spark a lot
Hangin' in the parking lot blowin' a bleezy
Easy fo sheezy deezy

I crashed a party with the Czar
Threw a molotov cocktail in the bar
And you know my style's revolutionary
Even the Russians know better than to fuck with me

You try to ban me, you can't stand me
Cuz I'm an outlaw
Black president livin' in the White House
Mr. B he wrote a letter to me
The FBI know better than to fuck with me

Yo, I was there at Watergate
You know I rigged my gear got the fuckers on tape
They put the mic in the hand of the wrong MC
Even the CIA knows not to fuck with me

You should know better
Y-You should know better
You should know better than to fuck with me
If you knew better you would do better
You should know better
Y-You should know better
You should know better than to fuck with me
If you knew better you would do better

Tell 'em Snoop, tell 'em like it is

I been there, in there, out there like that
Right back to the hood, a hundred Euro stacks
Shoot motherfuckers just on GP
LAPD know better than to fuck with me

I danced with the devil in Kathmandu
I came hummin' and blastin' with the boogaloo too
Now I declare most solemnly
The prince of darkness know better than to fuck with me

You know not what you know
Tell 'em what I'm in it for
Then I run up in it slow
Really though, silly ho
Yea spend a minute though
I blow an ounce and make you bounce
Just like a sixty-four

Now you know me I'm a woman of peace
I don't never take nothin' don't belong to me
I throw down and say "Whatever's gonna be, gonna be"
The whole industry knows not to fuck with me

You should know better
Y-You should know better
You should know better than to fuck with me
If you knew better you would do better
You should know better
Y-You should know better
You should know better than to fuck with me
If you knew better you would do better
You should know better
Y-You should know better
You should know better than to fuck with me
If you knew better you would do better

I'm going backwards through time at the speed of light
I'm yours, you're mine, two satellites
Not alone
No, we're not alone

A freeze-frame of your eye in the strobelight
Sweat dripping down from your brow, hold tight
Don't let go
Don't you let me go

And I never was smart with love
I let the bad ones in and the good ones go
But I'm gonna love you like I've never been hurt before
I'm gonna love you like I'm indestructible
Your love is ultra magnetic and it's taking over
This is hardcore
And I'm indestructible

Hands up in the air like we don't care
We're shooting deep into space
And the lasers split the dark
Cut right through the dark

It's just us, we ignore the crowd dancing
Fall to the floor
Beats in my heart
Put your hands on my heart

And I never was smart with love
I let the bad ones in and the good ones go
But I'm gonna love you like I've never been hurt before
I'm gonna love you like I'm indestructible
Your love is ultra magnetic and it's taking over
This is hardcore
Ooh and I'm gonna love you like
Like I've never been hurt before
I'm gonna love you like I'm indestructible
Your love is ultra magnetic and it's taking over
This is hardcore
And I'm indestructible

And I never was smart with love
I let the bad ones in and the good ones go
But I'm gonna love you like I've never been hurt before
I'm gonna love you like I'm indestructible
Your love is ultra magnetic and it's taking over
This is hardcore
Ooh and I'm gonna love you like
Like I've never been hurt before
I'm gonna love you like I'm indestructible
Your love is ultra magnetic and it's taking over
This is hardcore
And I'm indestructible
