[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
