Cee Lo Green: It's OK

Well I wandered around after hours of words
and I waited in vain here for weeks.
The ghost of a girlfriend that's here in my room
I still smell her perfume in my sheets

But that's not her in my bed
no she's out on the town
and I don't want anyone to see
there's a tattoo of my name on her body
but honestly,
the man holding her hand isn't me.

Oh Honey, how could you regret me when you can't even forget me?

Babe, it's ok
To say that you love me
I think of you (all night long)
Still think of you (all night long)
Oh, it's ok
To say that you love me
I think of you (all night long)
Still thinking of you (all night long)

I thought that once you've had one
you've had every woman
Until I lost this legendary woman
SHIT
now I'm sure
that they don't make em like her anymore

So please, Baby
Please, Lover
Let's find a way to forgive each other
I've gotten around ever since you've been gone
but without you I'm still alone

Oh how can you regret me when you know you can't forget me?

Babe, it's ok
To say that you love me
I think of you (all night long)
Still think of you (all night long)
Oh, it's ok
To say that you love me
I think of you (all night long)
Still thinking of you (all night long)

I made mistakes, I'm only human
and I am not ashamed to say
That you are the one.
Oooooooooo Baby

Babe, it's ok
To say that you love me
I think of you (all night long)
Still think of you (all night long)
Oh, it's ok
To say that you love me
I think of you (all night long)
Still thinking of you (all night long)

Music video
The official video for "It's OK" was released to YouTube on December 2, 2010, and features Solange Knowles. Gil Kaufman published this summary of the video for MTV.com:

Cee Lo makes his way down a neon-lit city street in the clip as he tries to woo three very different lovely ladies. Like the viral-bomb video for his Grammy bait "Fuck You!", the new one mixes live-action footage with stylized, cartoony graphics spotlighting the singer's name, the song title and key lyric phrases, while adding a picture-frame device that highlights the three objects of his affection. Looking dapper in a pin-striped tuxedo with oversized black bowtie, Cee Lo checks his look as the clip unfolds, while the women dance in their candy-colored outfits. One looks demure in a long, flowing blue gown, another hip and fun in a short yellow shirt dress and matching tights and the third sexy in a tight red minidress. Standing next to hand-drawn images of their fingers snapping along to the song's Motown bounce, Cee Lo starts making his way down the street mooning about a girlfriend whose perfume he can still smell on his sheets, but who has abandoned him. As he reminds her that "It's OK to say that you love me/ I think of you, still thinking of you," Cee sits in a chair while his yellow-dress beauty shows him some of her sexiest dance moves. By the time he gets to his "legendary" blue-dress lady, Green is ready to put a tiara on his queen and waltz her around the room while the song's lyrics are scrawled across the screen. He breaks into his crooner mode for the lady in red, who emerges from a bathtub filled with roses in lingerie to share a drink with the singer on the couch. The ladies — who also served as his backup singers in the "Fuck You!" clip — then dance behind Cee Lo as he sings the song's chorus with an evening skyline behind him. Combined with the earlier video, Green is clearly going for a consistent theme in his Lady Killer promo pieces, reaching back for a classic look and performance-oriented feel that fits with the album's elegant, soul-throwback sound.
