Lyrics:
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 stand to fight the feeling
'Cause the thought alone is killing me right now
Thank god for mom and dad for sticking two together
'Cause we don't know how
Hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
You think you've got it
Oh, you think you've got it
But God just don't get it till' there's nothing at all
We get together
Oh, we get together
But separates always better when there's feelings involved
If what they say that "nothing is forever"
Then what makes
What makes love the exception?
So why are, why are, why are, why are
Why are we so in denial when we know we're not happy here?
Hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
Alright now fellas
Yeah oh, cooler than being cool?
I can't hear you now, now, now
I say what's cooler than being cool?
Alright
What now ladies
Yeah, we're gonna bring it down in just a few seconds here
Now don't make me break this down for nothing
I wanna see you all on your all's baddest behavior
Lend me some sugar, I am your neighbor
Shake it
Shake it like a Polaroid Picture
Oh now, shake it
Shake it up
Hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
