One, two, three, go

My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so
And this I know for sure
Uh, but does she really wanna
But, can't stand to see me
Walk out the door
Don't try to fight the feelin'
Because the thought alone is
Killing me right now
Uh, thank God for mom and dad
For sticking to together
'Cause, we don't know how, uh

Chorus:
Hey ya
Hey ya
Hey ya
Hey ya
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
'Til 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, then what makes, then what makes
Then what makes, then what makes love the exception
So why you, why you, why you, why you, why you
Are we so in denial
When we are not happy here
Y'all don't want me here you just wanna dance

Chorus (over next verse)

Don't want to meet your daddy
Just want you in my Caddy
Don't want to meet your momma
Just want to make you cumma
I'm, I'm, I'm just being honest
I'm just being honest

Hey, alright now
Alright now fellows (yeah)
Now what's cooler than bein' cool (ice cold)
I can't hear ya
I say what's, what's cooler than bein' cool (ice cold)

Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright
Ok now, ladies (yeah)
And we gonna break this back down in just a few seconds
Now don't have me break this thing down for nothin'
Now I wanna see y'all on y'all baddest behavior
Lend me some sugah, I am your neighbor

Shake it, shake, shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it, shake, shake it, shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it like a Polaroid picture
Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, sugah
Shake it like a Polaroid picture

(Repeat previous verse thoughout next verse)

Now while Beyonce and Lucy Lui
And baby dolls, get on the floor (get on the floor)
You know what to do
You know what to do

Chorus
