Hey Ya! Lyrics

[00:00.02] One, two, three, uh!
[00:01.57] My baby don't mess around
[00:03.12] Because she loves me so
[00:04.73] And this I know for sure (uh)
[00:07.09]
[00:09.44] But does she really wanna
[00:11.83] But can't stand to see me walk out the door (ah)
[00:15.41]
[00:17.79] Don't try to fight the feeling
[00:20.09] 'Cause the thought alone is killin' me right now (uh)
[00:24.21]
[00:26.59] Thank God for mom and dad
[00:28.26] For sticking two together
[00:29.66] 'Cause we don't know how (c'mon)

[01:15.77] We get together
[01:16.87] Oh, we get together
[01:18.34] But separate's always better when there's feelings involved
[01:24.10] If what they say is
[01:25.23] Nothing is forever
[01:26.60] Then what makes, then what makes
[01:28.42] Then what makes, then what makes
[01:29.93] What makes, what makes love the exception?
[01:32.74] So why, oh, why, oh
[01:33.74] Why, oh, why, oh, why, oh
