[Verse 1]
My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so, and this I know for sure
But does she really wanna
But can't stand to see me walk out the door?
Don't try to fight the feeling
'Cause the thought alone is killing me right now
Thank God for Mom and Dad
For sticking two together 'cause we don't know how

[Chorus]
Hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya

[Verse 2]
You think you've got it, oh, you think you've got it
But "got it" just don't get it till there's nothing at all, all, all, all
We get together, oh, we get together
But separate's always better when there's feelings involved
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
If what they say is, "Nothing is forever"
Then what makes, then what makes, then what makes
Then what makes, what makes, what makes love?
So why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh
Are we so in denial when we know we're not happy here?

[Chorus]
Hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
