Ho Hey"

(Ho!)
(Hey!)
(Ho!)
(Hey!)

(Ho!) I've been trying to do it right

(Hey!) I've been living a lonely life
(Ho!) I've been sleeping here instead
(Hey!) I've been sleeping in my bed,
(Ho!) Sleeping in my bed
(Hey!)

(Ho!)

(Ho!) So show me family
(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!)

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 China Town.

(Hey!) I'd be standing on Canal
(Ho!) and Bowery.
(Hey!)
(Ho!) And she'd be standing next to me.
(Hey!)

I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me, you're my sweetheart

Love – we need it now
Let's hope for some
So, 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!)
(The last one)
(Hey!

Overall Meaning

The song "Ho Hey" by Tyler Ward featuring Alex G is a beautiful and catchy melody that has a poignant message of love and connection. The lyrics portray the loneliness and confusion that the singer is feeling, searching for a family and love. The opening lines set the tone of an honest confession, where the character is admitting to trying to do things right but often feeling lost, leading to loneliness. The chorus that follows declares that the singer belongs to the person they love and that they both need each other, bringing a sense of hope and optimism that things can get better. The final verse provides a sense of urgency and longing as the character yearns for a lover, and if only they took a bus to China Town, they would be together.

Hey Tyler, my name is Brook, and I'm from a Senior SW Arkansas. I haven't always been subscribed to your channel, but I've been watching for a LONG time. I love your passion for music, and how you've pushed through your struggles to pursue it. I found out a while back that one of my high school teachers went to school with you. (Katie Flowers) She said how nice you were and how good a person you are. I hope that you get all that you wish for. You're a wonderful person. I don't write this to get attention, though some may think so. I write to tell you how much you've changed my life. You've given me the strength to stand up for myself, to pursue my passion of music (which helped me get a lot of friends) and to always have faith in myself. Thank you Tyler.
