Hey You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Everybody wants the real thing, no imitations
Everybody wants the same thing, some tender lovin'
Everybody's on the rebound, breaking up in two
Everybody going downtown, I'm reaching out for you
[Pre-Chorus]
Gotta wonder what the score is, sure is a shame to me
Don't you see the little children begging but no one ever sees
In the middle of the night time, oh I, I got to know
[Chorus]
Hey you, tell me what's been going on
Hey you, tell me what's been going on
[Verse 2]
People living in the city, don't know their fellow man
People living in the country, don't buy the master plan
People sail in from Eurasia, to seek the Promised Land
Everybody wants their freedom, but do they understand
[Pre-Chorus]
Gotta wonder what the score is, sure is a shame tome
Don't you see the lonely people, weeping, falling to their knees
In the middle of the night time, oh I, I got to know
Everybody wants the real thing, no imitations
Everybody wants the same thing, some tender lovin'
Everybody's on the rebound, breaking up in two
Everybody going downtown, I'm reaching out for you
[Pre-Chorus]
Gotta wonder what the score is, sure is a shame to me
Don't you see the little children begging but no one ever sees
In the middle of the night time, oh I, I got to know
[Chorus]
Hey you, tell me what's been going on
Hey you, tell me what's been going on
[Verse 2]
People living in the city, don't know their fellow man
People living in the country, don't buy the master plan
People sail in from Eurasia, to seek the Promised Land
Everybody wants their freedom, but do they understand
[Pre-Chorus]
Gotta wonder what the score is, sure is a shame tome
Don't you see the lonely people, weeping, falling to their knees
In the middle of the night time, oh I, I got to know
[Chorus]
Hey you, tell me, what's been going on
This world, our world, what's been going on (Tell me)
Hey you, tell me, what's been going on
This world, our world, what's been going on
[Bridge]
Oh-ho, woo, ooh, ooh, oh-ho
[Outro]
Hey you, tell me, what's been going on
Hey you (Hey, hey, hey), tell me (Tell me), what's been going on

[Bridge]
Oh-ho, woo, ooh, ooh, oh-ho

This world (This old world), our world (Our world), what's been going on
(Our world, your world, our world, hey you, hey you)
Hey you (What's going on?), what's going on
(What's going on? What's going on?)
This world, our world (Our world), what's been going on
