Hey Baby
The Deejays Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, hey hey baby!
I want to know if you'll be my girl
Hey, hey hey baby!
I want to know if you'll be my girl
When I saw you walking down the street
I said that's a kind of girl I'd like to meet
She's so pretty, Lord she's fine
I'm gonna make her mine, all mine

Hey, hey hey baby!
I want to know if you'll be my girl
When you turned and walked away
Thats when I want to say
C'mon baby, give me a whirl
I want to know if you'll be my girl

Hey, hey hey baby!
I want to know if you'll be my girl
When you turned and walked away
Thats when I want to say
C'mon baby, give me a whirl
I want to know if you'll be my girl

Hey, hey hey baby!
I want to know if you'll be my girl




Hey, hey hey hey hey, baby
C'mon, baby now

Overall Meaning

The Deejays’ catchy tune “Hey Baby” is a plea to a woman the singer is enamored with. From the very first line, it’s clear that the singer is eager to know whether the woman in question would be interested in being his girlfriend. The lyrics “I want to know if you’ll be my girl” are repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the singer’s desire to pursue a romantic relationship with her.


The singer’s physical attraction to the woman is highlighted in the lyrics “When I saw you walking down the street, I said that’s a kind of girl I’d like to meet. She’s so pretty, Lord she’s fine.” He sees her physical appeal as the initial draw, but the repetition of “I’m gonna make her mine, all mine” suggests that he wants more than simply a fling; he’s committed to winning her heart.


In the second verse, the singer laments how he didn’t get a chance to chat her up when he saw her walking down the street. The line “That’s when I want to say c’mon baby, give me a whirl” is a plea for a second chance to win her over. The lyrics “Hey, hey hey baby! I want to know if you’ll be my girl” are repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the singer’s eagerness to know whether the interest is mutual. The song ends with one final plea: “Hey, hey hey hey hey, baby. C’mon, baby now.”
