Hey You
XPQ-21 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey you
I want you to come
I want you to stay
I want you to go away
I want you to know...

I'm so glad you're here, invade my head for a while
I look at you, you look at me, happy to see you
I want you to go away, I want you to stay
The beauty people around you
That's just what you need sometimes

I want you to come, I want you to go
I want you to come, I want you to go away

Hey you
Happy to see you
I love your smile, I love your eyes, I want you to go

Nobody knows we love
Nobody understand
I want you to know that I don't care what they say

Hey you
I want you to go away
Hey you
I want you to stay

I love your sense of humor, beautiful you
You turn me on, you let me down, I'm out of my mind
I live another life as you, I found the way
I found the answer, jumpin' around
I found me

You,
Don't touch me
Don't try to talk to me
Don't try to hold me
Don't try to tie me up
Don't go

Don't try to talk to me
Don't go

Hey you
I want you to come
I want you to stay
I want you to go away
I want you to know

I want you to go away
I want you to come
I want you to go




I want you to come
I want you to go
