[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 mum and dad

For sticking two together 'cause we don't know how

[Chorus]

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 when there's nothing at all

We get together, oh, we get together

But separate's always better when there's feelings involved

And they say that, "Nothing is forever"

Then what makes love the exception?

Oh, why? Oh, why?

Oh, why are we so in denial

When we know that we're not happy here?

[Chorus]

Hey ya, hey ya

Hey ya, hey ya (Oh)

Hey ya, hey ya

Hey ya (Oh-oh)

And hey ya

Hey ya
