Hey Ya
OutKast/Rosario Dawson Lyrics

One, two, three, uh
Let's begin the song!

My baby don't mess around Because she loves me so And this I know fo sho (uh)
My partner is faithful and committed to our relationship, and I'm completely confident about it.

But does she really wanna But can't stand to see me walk out the door? (Ah) Don't try to fight the feeling Because the thought alone is killin' me right now (uh)
I wonder if my partner is really happy with our relationship and is afraid of breaking up. The mere thought of it makes me anxious, so let's not fight it.

Thank God for Mom and Dad For sticking two together 'Cause we don't know how (c'mon)
I'm thankful that my parents helped me find my partner, as I wouldn't have been able to find somebody like her by myself.

Hey ya, hey ya Hey ya, hey ya Hey ya, hey ya Hey ya, hey ya
Hey, everybody! Let's celebrate love and happiness with this upbeat tune.

You think you've got it Oh, you think you've got it But got it just don't get it 'til there's nothin' at all We get together Oh, we get together But separate's always better when there's feelings involved
You may think you know what it takes to make a relationship work, but the truth is that no one can guarantee it until they've experienced it. Relationships are complicated, and sometimes it's better to avoid getting too attached and breaking up painfully.

If what they say is "Nothing is forever" Then what makes, then what makes Then what makes, then what makes (what makes, what makes) Love the exception?
People say that nothing lasts forever, and yet love seems to be the one thing that defies this rule. Why is that? What makes love special and worth pursuing?

So why, oh, why, oh Why, oh, why, oh, why, oh Are we so in denial when we know we're not happy here
So why do we keep pretending to be happy when we know deep down that we're miserable in our relationship? Why do we continue to suffer instead of facing the truth and breaking free?

(Y'all don't want to here me, ya just want to dance) Hey ya, hey ya Don't want to meet your daddy (oh ohh), just want you in my caddy (oh ohh) Hey ya! (Oh, oh!) Hey ya! (Oh, oh!) Don't want to meet your momma, just want to make you cum-a (oh,oh!) I'm (oh,oh) I'm (oh,oh) I'm just being honest! (Oh,oh) I'm just being honest!
You probably don't care about the lyrics, you just want to dance to the beat. I don't want to meet your parents, I just want to have sex with you, and I'm not afraid to say it! Honesty is the best policy, after all.
