Hey Ya!
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so, and this I know for sure
But does she really wanna?
But can't stand to see me walk out the door
I can't try to fight the feeling
'Cause the thought alone is killing me right now
And oh, thank God for mom and dad
For sticking two together 'cause we don't know how
And I, I'm singing hey ya! Hey ya
Hey ya! Hey ya!
You think you've got it, oh, you think you've got it
But "got it" just don't get it till there's nothing at all
We get together, oh, we get together
But separate's always better when there's feelings involved
If what they say is, "nothing is forever"
Then what makes, what makes love the exception?
So why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh, why oh
Are we so in denial when we know we're not happy here?
And I, I'm singing hey ya, hey ya
And I, I'm singing hey ya, hey ya
And I, I'm singing hey ya, hey ya
And I, I'm singing hey ya, hey ya
My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so, and this I know for sure
But does she really wanna?
But can't stand to see me walk out the door
Don't try to fight the feeling
'Cause the thought alone is killing me right now
Oh, thank God for mom and dad
For sticking two together 'cause we don't know how
And I, I'm singing hey ya, hey ya
And I, I'm singing hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
