Yes I've seen you here before
Standing just inside the door
'Cos you'd never wanna take up any room
And everybody's slow dancing in the hall
But you just hold tight to the wall
'Cos a little pleasure, that would be too much to presume
Yes and that's the way it's been
But you'd love to join on in
You'd join in but you just don't think you should
Well now come on along with me
Let me help you see
That baby it's okay to feel good
'Cos you're the kind to stand out in the rain
Never tap on a windowpane
'Cos you wouldn't want to trouble anyone
And when they call your name for the parade
You always step back in the shade
'Cos you wouldn't want to inconvenience the sun
No you never ask for much
But you miss that tender touch
And you'd reach out, oh you'd reach out if you could
Well now come on and take my hand
Let me help you understand
That baby it's okay to feel good
Yeah baby it's okay
Let down your guard
Life's too long
Life's too hard
Baby it's okay
To enjoy yourself
To lean your head
On someone else's shoulder for a while
And all you have to say is yes
To a little tenderness
And your heart and soul are just wishing that you would
'Cos the night's still plenty young
And it's okay to need someone
Baby it's okay to feel good
