Hey ya ! Songtext
von OutKast

One, two, three, uh!

My baby don′t mess around
Because 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 (ah)

Don′t try to fight the feeling
'Cause the thought alone is killin' me right now (uh)
Thank God for mom and dad
For sticking two together
′Cause we don′t know how (c'mon)

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 when there's nothin′ 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, then what makes
Then what makes, then what makes
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


Hey ya! (Uh-oh)
Hey ya! (Uh-oh)
Don′t want to meet your daddy
Hey ya! (Uh-oh)
Just want you in my caddy (uh-oh)
Hey ya! (Uh-oh)
Don't want to meet your momma
Hey ya! (Uh-oh)
Just want to make you cum-a (uh-oh)
Hey ya! (Uh-oh)
I′m, I'm, I′m, I'm just being honest (uh-oh)
I′m just being honest!

Hey, alright now, alright now, fellas (yeah?)
Now, what cooler than being cool? (Ice cold!)
I can't hear ya
I say, what's, what′s cooler than being cool? (Ice cold!)
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

Okay, now ladies (yeah?)
Now we gon′ break this thing down in just a few seconds
Now don't have me break this thang down for nothin′
Now I want to see y'all on your baddest behavior
Lend me some sugar, I am your neighbor
Ah, here we go

Shake it, sh-shake it, shake it, sh-shake it (uh-oh)
Shake it, sh-shake it, shake it, shake it, sh-shake it (uh-oh)
Shake it like a Polaroid picture! Hey ya!
Shake it, sh-shake it, shake it, sh-shake it
Shake it, shake it (okay), shake it, sugar
Shake it like a Polaroid picture

Now all Beyonce′s, and Lucy Liu's
And baby dolls, get on the floor (get on the floor)
You know what to do
You know what to do
You know what to do

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