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 I can't try to fight the feeling 'Cause the thought alone is killing me right now And oh, thank God for mom and dad For sticking two together 'cause we don't know how And I, I'm singing 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 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, what makes 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? And I, I'm singing hey ya, hey ya And I, I'm singing hey ya, hey ya And I, I'm singing hey ya, hey ya And I, I'm singing hey ya, hey ya 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 Oh, thank God for mom and dad For sticking two together 'cause we don't know how And I, I'm singing hey ya, hey ya And I, I'm singing hey ya, hey ya Hey ya, hey ya
