Doin' Just Fine

"Doin' Just Fine" is a song performed by Boyz II Men, issued as the fourth and final single from their third studio album Evolution. The song was written and produced by Shawn Stockman, and it was the first song from the group to fail to enter any Billboard chart.


Lyrics

There was a time when I thought life
Was over and out, when you went away from me
My dying heart made it hard to breathe
Would sit in my room because I didn't want to
Have to go out and see you walking by

One look and I'd break right down and cry
Now you say that you made a big mistake
Never meant to take your love away
But you can save your tired apologies
'Cause it may seem hard to believe, but


I'm doin' just fine, getting along very well
Without you in my life, I don't need you in my life
I'm doin' just fine, time made me stronger
You're no longer on my mind


You were my earth, my number one priority
I gave my love to only you anything you'd ask of me
I would do but somewhere down the road
You felt a change in the weather and told me that
You had to journey on a kiss in the wind and your
Love was gone

Now, you say you never meant to play
Your games, girl don't you know it's far too late
Because you let our love just fall apart
You no longer have my heart

I'm doin' just fine, getting along very well
Without you in my life, I don't need you in my life
I'm doin' just fine, time made me stronger
You're no longer on my mind

When you said goodbye, I felt so all alone
There were times at night I couldn't sleep
My heart was much too weak to make it on my own
Baby, after all the misery and pain you put me through
So unfair to me girl, you're no longer my world
And I ain't missin' you at all

I'm doin' just fine, getting along very well
Without you in my life, I don't need you in my life
I'm doin' just fine, time made me stronger
You're no longer on my mind

See, baby when you walked away
You didn't think it would end up this way
But I knew you'd be coming 'round someday
Just as sure as my name is Wanya

Notes by the Blog Author

This is a singular, sardonic, searing song.  Although released as a single that didn’t chart on any Billboard list, it opened their greatest hits collection.  At five and one-half minutes, it is a long ballad, yet its complexity and smashed Romeo and Juliet ambiance prevent any hint of boredom.  It’s bitter, brilliant, and beguiling.
