Hey Girl
O.A.R Live Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We walked along lonely streets and got to know ourselves,
I like to read, she likes to write,
She likes to sleep, and I love to stay up all night,
My friends say I'm crazy and I agree,
But that's okay that's the way I like to be
Hey girl, come with me and let yourself go
We went out late that night and we danced through the night
I was holding on to her and she be gripping it tight, she was
But she didn't care, I didn't mind
I was unaware that she liked to act so kind,
My friends say I'm crazy and I agree,
But that's okay that's the way I like to be
Hey girl, come with me and let yourself go (C'mon, c'mon)
Hey girl come with me and let yourself go, go, go (Just let yourself go)
Hush little baby don't say a word
I'd like to give you everything that you deserve.
I'll give you my heart, give you all my soul.
You can ask for my money, if you like you can have control.
In my mind, I miss you every night that you're not here.
Oh, I just want to sit around your life and breathe your air.
And if I cannot have you, I just don't want to live.
Oh I've got so much I'd like to give.
Hey girl, come with me and let yourself go (C'mon, c'mon)
Hey girl come with me and let yourself go, go, go (Just let yourself go)
My baby, my darling
Just let yourself go
My baby, my darling
I need to know
My sweetie, my lovely
I'd love to let you go
But I'm coming back for you, and I'm walking to your door.
