Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Hey!) I've been living a lonely life
(Ho!) I've been sleeping here instead
(Hey!)I've been sleeping in my bed,
(Ho!) I've been sleeping in my bed (Hey!)
(Ho!)
(Hey!) All the blood that I would bleed
(Ho!) I don't know where I belong
(Hey!) I don't know where I went wrong
(Ho!) But I can write a song (Hey!)
1,2,3 I belong with you, you belong with me you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me you're my sweet (Ho!)
(Hey!)
(Ho!)
(Hey!)
(Ho!) I don't think you're right for him
(Hey!) Look at what it might have been if you
(Ho!) Took a bus to Chinatown
(Hey!) I've been standing on Canal
(Ho!) And Bowery (Hey!)
(Ho!) And she'd be standing next to me (Hey!)
1,2,3 I belong with you you belong with me you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me you're my sweetheart
And love, we need it now
Let's hope for some
Cause oh, we're bleeding out
I belong with you you belong with me you're my sweetheart
I belong with you you belong with me you're my sweet (Ho!)
(Hey!)
(Ho!)
(Hey!)
The song Ho Hey by Lennon & Maisy is about the search for a sense of belonging and connection with others. The singer starts by admitting that they have been struggling to do things right and living a lonely life. They have been sleeping alone instead of sharing a bed with someone. They want to be with their family and feel loved enough that they are willing to bleed for them. Despite not knowing where they belong or where they went wrong, they can express themselves through songwriting. The singer then declares their love for someone and how they belong together, repeatedly saying "I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart."
The chorus is a simple but catchy expression of love where the singer states their desire to be with their sweetheart. The repetition of "Ho!" and "Hey!" throughout the song is used to create a rhythm and emphasize the emotions of the singer's search for belonging and love.
Overall, the song Ho Hey is about the universal human need for love and connection, and the struggles one may face in trying to find it. The upbeat melody and simple lyrics make it an easy song to sing along to and relate to.

I just watched Nashville for the first time & am sad that it was cancelled. The music was amazing. I knew these 2 must have been sisters in real life! So much talent. ❤️
