Lyrics
One, two, three, uh!

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 (Uh!)

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
Till there's nothing at all (Uh!)

We get together
Oh, we get together
But separate's always better
When there's feelings involved (Uh!)
If what they say is
Nothing is forever

Then what makes
Then what makes
Then what makes
Then what makes (What makes, what makes)
Then what makes (Huh!)
Love the exception?

So why oh, why oh
Why oh, why oh, why oh
Are we so in denial
When we know we're not happy here?

Y'all don't want to hear me (Hey ya)
You just wanna dance
Oh oh!
(Hey ya)
Oh oh!

Don't want to meet your daddy (Hey ya)
Oh oh!
Just want you in my Caddy
Oh oh! (Hey ya)
Oh oh!
Don't want to meet your mama (Hey ya)
Oh oh!
Just want to make you come-a
Oh oh! (Hey ya)

I'm, oh oh!
I'm, oh oh! (Hey ya)
I'm just being honest, oh oh!
I'm just being honest (Hey ya)

Hey! All right now!
Al lright now, fellas! (Yeah!)
Now, what's cooler than bein' cool? (Ice cold!)
I can't hear ya!

I say what's, what's cooler than bein' cool? (Ice cold!)
All right, all right, all right, all right
All right, all right, all right, all right
All right, all right, all right, all right
All right, all right

Okay now, ladies! (Yeah?)
Now we gon' break this thing 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 sugar!
I am your neighbor!
Ah! Here we go! Uh!

Shake it, shake, shake it
Shake it, shake, shake it (Oh oh!)
Shake it, shake, shake it
Shake it, shake it (Oh oh!)
Shake, shake it
Shake it like a Polaroid picture (Hey ya!)

Shake it, shake it
Shake, shake it, shake it (Sugar)
Shake, shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it, shake it (Okay, sugar)
Shake it like a Polaroid picture

Now all Beyoncés and Lucy Lius and baby dolls
Get on the floor
Get on the floor
You know what to do (Ha-ha)
You know what to do
You know what to do

Hey ya (Oh oh!), hey ya (Oh oh!)
Hey ya (Oh oh!), hey ya (Oh oh!) (Hey ya!)
Hey ya (Oh oh!), hey ya (Oh oh! Uh, oh oh!)
Hey ya (Oh oh!), hey ya (Oh oh!)
Hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
