Hey There
Sinatra Martin Davis Jr. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love never made a fool of you, you used to be too wise
Hey there you on that high flying cloud
Tho' she won't throw a crumb to you
You think someday she'll come to you
Better forget her, her with her nose in the air
Won't you take this advice I hand you like a brother
Or are you not seeing things too clear
Are you too much in love to hear
Is it all going in one ear and out the other
Better forget her, her with her nose in the air
She has you dancing on a string, break it and she won't care
Won't you take this advice I hand you like a brother
Or are you not seeing things too clear
Are you too much in love to hear
Is it all going in one ear and out the other
The song "Hey There" by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr., talks about a person who is in love with someone who doesn't return the affection. They are blinded by their love for this person, despite the fact that they are being mistreated. The opening line, "Hey there you with the stars in your eyes," sets the tone for the song. The singer is talking to someone who is caught up in a romantic fantasy, ignoring the reality of their situation.
The next line, "Love never made a fool of you, you used to be too wise," implies that the person used to be more practical when it comes to love. They were less naive and foolish when it came to romantic entanglements. However, the person is now on a "high flying cloud," refusing to see reason. They believe that the object of their affection, even though she "won't throw a crumb to" them, will eventually come around.
The chorus serves as a warning to the lovestruck individual. The object of their affection is a haughty person who enjoys manipulating others. They are leading the person on, "dancing on a string," but they don't care about them. The last lines of the song, "Is it all going in one ear and out the other," suggest that the person, despite all the advice they have been given, is continuing to let their heart rule their head, making them blind to the truth.
Overall, "Hey There" is a cautionary tale about the perils of unrequited love, and how it can make one lose sight of reality.
