Hey Ya Lyrics

One two three go
My baby don't mess around me
'Cause she loves me so
And this I know for sure
Uh, but does she really wanna
But can't stand to see me walk out the door?
Don't try to fight the feelin'
'Cause the thought alone is killing me right now
Uh, thank God for Mom and Dad for sticking two together
'Cause we don't know how
Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya, hey ya
You think you've got it, oh, you think you've got it
But got it just don't get it, til' there's nothing at all
We get together, oh, we get together
But separate's always better, when there's feelings involved
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 exception
So why you, why you, why you, why you, why you
Are we so in denial? When you know we're not happy here
Y'all don't wanna hear me you just wanna dance
(Hey ya, hey ya)
Don't want to meet your daddy
(Hey ya, hey ya)
Just want you in my caddy
(Hey ya, hey ya)
Don't want to meet your momma
(Hey ya, hey ya)
Just want to make you cumma
(Hey ya, hey ya)
I'm, I'm, I'm just being honest
(Hey ya, hey ya)
I'm just being honest
"Hey, alright now, alright now fellows"?
"Yeah"
"Now what's cooler than bein' cool?"
"Ice cold"
"I can't hear ya, I say what's cooler than bein' cool?"
"Ice cold"
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright
"Okay now, ladies", "Yeah"
"Now we gonna break this thang down in just a few seconds
Now don't have me break this thing down for nothin'
Now I wanna see y'all on y'all baddest behavior
Lend me some suga', I am your neighbour
Ahh! Here we go"
Shake it, shake, shake it, shake it, shake, shake it
Shake it, shake, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake
Shake, shake it, like a polaroid picture, hey ya
Shake it, shake it, shake, shake it, shake it, shake
Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, suga
Shake it like a polaroid picture
Now while Beyonces and Lucy Lius
And baby dolls, get on the floor
Get on the floor, you know what to do
You know, what to do, you know I do
Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya, hey ya, hey ya

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
