[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
I 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
We get together, oh, we get together
But sеparate's always better whеn 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 the exception?
So why you, why you, why you, why you, why you
Why you 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!

[Refrain]
Shake it, sh-shake it, shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it, shake it, shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it like a Polaroid picture
Shake it, sh-shake it, shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, shake it, shake it
Shake it like a Polaroid picture
Shake it, sh-shake it, shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it, shake it, shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it like a Polaroid picture
Shake it, sh-shake it, shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, sh-shake it, shake it, shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it like a Polaroid picture

[Chorus]
Hey ya! Hey ya!
Hey ya! Hey ya!
Hey ya! Hey ya!
Hey ya! Hey ya!
Hey ya! Hey ya!
