Hey You
Angel Grant Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been watchin' you a while
Your walk, your talk, even your smile
Keepin' my attention focused just on you
I wonder if you're here alone
Or if you have a girl at home
Tell me I just wanna know
Then you turned around
And gestured to your boys
Like you were rollin' out
So I said

Hey you, hey you, hey you
I don't know your name
But I'd really like to know
Hey you, hey you, hey you
I don't know your name
But wouldn't you like to go

Somewhere to grab a bite to eat
So we can talk in privacy
And learn a bit about your personality
The huntress captured by the game
Cause my intentions weren't the same
No I'm not tryin' to take you home
So as you walk out
Say your name again
It's so hard to pronounce
So I said

Hey you, hey you, hey you
I don't know your name
But I'd really like to know
Hey you, hey you, hey you
I don't know your name
But wouldn't you like to go

Out to see a movie
I think that that would be real groovy
I know I'm sounding kinda loony
Cause that's what I like
Cause I like people watchin'
Here I go again
I see something I like
So I say

Hey you, hey you, hey you
I don't know your name
But I'd really like to know
Hey you, hey you, hey you




I don't know your name
But wouldn't you like to go

I've been watchin' you a while
I have been observing your every move for some time now


Your walk, your talk, even your smile
I notice and am intrigued by the way you move, speak, and express yourself


Keepin' my attention focused just on you
I am fully invested in paying attention only to you


I wonder if you're here alone
I am curious if you are here by yourself


Or if you have a girl at home
I am wondering if you are in a relationship


Tell me I just wanna know
Please tell me, I am simply curious


Then you turned around
You finally faced in my direction


And gestured to your boys
You ushered attention to your group of friends


Like you were rollin' out
It appeared as though you and your friends were leaving


So I said Hey you, hey you, hey you
I attempted to grab your attention with a casual greeting


I don't know your name
I am not aware of your given name


But I'd really like to know

Hey you, hey you, hey you
Continuing my effort to grab your attention with a friendly greeting


Wouldn't you like to go
Are you interested in accompanying me?

I suggest a quiet place to converse


And learn a bit about your personality
I desire to know more about who you are as a person


The huntress captured by the game
Despite my initial intentions, I am now the one who is pursuing you


Cause my intentions weren't the same
I confess that my initial motives were not as pure


No I'm not tryin' to take you home

So as you walk out
As you prepare to leave


Say your name again
Please remind me of your name


It's so hard to pronounce
Your name is difficult to articulate


Out to see a movie
I suggest we go watch a film together


I think that that would be real groovy

I am aware that I might be coming across as crazy


Cause that's what I like
Going to the cinema is one of my preferred activities


Cause I like people watchin'

Here I go again
I am making another attempt to talk to you
