Hey Hey
Healey Jeff Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One, two, three, and

I see it now, now, now
So I set my sights and fly
'Cause I don't want to let another moment pass me by
I don't wanna sleep all day
I gotta make a move, make a move
Get it before it fades away

I don't believe in all those things that make you mad
And I don't lose no sleep about the things that I never had
'Cause I know what it's all about
I gotta get me some, get me some
Ooh, before the lights go out

Hey hey, time goes on
You gotta do it now, now, now before the feeling's gone
Hey hey, time goes on
I gotta do it now, now, now before the feeling's gone

I see it now, now, now I've learned my lesson well
But you may think it's heaven while you put yourself through hell
In the end, when it's all said and done
You gotta love to live and live to love
And you gotta have yourself some fun

Hey hey, time goes on
You gotta do it now, now, now before the feeling's gone
Hey hey, time goes on
You gotta do it now, now, now before the feeling's gone

Hey hey, time goes on
You gotta do it now, now before the feeling before that feeling
Ooh yes, before that feeling's gone
Hey hey, time goes on
You gotta do it now, now, now before the feeling's gone




Hey hey, time goes on
You gotta do it now, now, now, now, now before the feeling's gone
