Hey Ya
outkast [seleptzii] Lyrics

My baby don't mess around Because she loves me so This I know fo sho!
My significant other is always faithful to me, and I have no doubt in my mind that she has true love for me.

But does she really wanna But can't stand to see me walk out the door Don't try to fight the feeling Because the thought alone is killin' me right now
I'm conflicted about whether my partner truly loves me or if she just can't stand to see me leave. The mere thought of losing her is causing me great emotional pain.

Thank God for Mom and Dad For sticking to together Like we don't know how
I'm grateful for my parents staying together and setting a positive example for me, despite my own struggles to maintain a healthy relationship.

Hey ya! Hey ya! Hey ya! Hey ya! Hey ya! Hey ya! Hey ya! Hey ya!
The repetition of 'Hey ya!' serves as a catchy and energetic chorus to pump up the listener and keep the party going.

You think you've got it Oh, you think you've got it But got it just don't get it when there's nothin' at all
Just because you believe you have everything under control, that doesn't mean you actually do when there's a lack of substance or importance behind it all.

We get together Oh, we get together But separate's always better when there's feelings involved
Being together can bring joy and happiness, but sometimes separation is necessary when there are strong emotional attachments involved.

Know what they say -its: Nothing lasts forever! Then what makes it, then what makes it Then what makes it, then what makes it Then what makes love the exception?
People often say that nothing lasts forever. If that's true, then what makes love so special? Why do we continue to seek and cherish it?

So why, oh, why, oh Why, oh, why, oh, why, oh Are we still in denial when we know we're not happy here
Despite the fact that we know we're not truly happy with each other, we continue to deny it and stay together.

Hey ya! (y'all don't want to here me, ya just want to dance) 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!
I know that you don't actually care about what I'm saying, you just want to dance. I don't care about meeting your parents, I just want you to be with me in my car. I'm being honest, even if it's risque or inappropriate.

Hey! alright now! alright now, fellas! Yea? Now, what cooler than being cool? Ice cold! I can't hear ya! I say what's, what's cooler than being cool? Ice cold! Alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright alright!
I'm hyping up the crowd and getting everyone excited for the upcoming beat drop. I ask a question and provide the answer as 'ice cold,' which is the epitome of coolness - even cooler than just being 'cool.'

Okay, now ladies! Yea? Now we gonna break this thang down for just a few seconds, Now don't have me break this thang down for nothin', I want to see you on your badest behavior! Lend me some sugar, I am your neighbor! Ah! Here we go now, Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, Shake it like a Polaroid picture! Hey ya! Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, Shake it, shake it, shake it, suga! Shake it like a Polaroid picture! Now all the Beyonce's, and Lucy Liu's, and baby dolls, Get on tha floor get on tha floor! Shake it like a Polaroid picture! Oh, you! oh, you! Hey ya!(oh, oh) Hey ya!(oh, oh) Hey ya!(oh, oh) Hey ya!(oh, oh) Hey ya!(oh, oh) Hey ya!(oh, oh)
Addressing the women, I let them know we're about to break down the song and get the party started. I ask them to let loose and dance without inhibitions. I use 'shake it like a Polaroid picture' as a metaphor for dancing freely and joyously. I list off famous women, encouraging any woman listening to join in and have fun. The repetition of 'Hey ya!' once again serves as a catchy chorus to keep up the energy.
