Hey Ya (Outkast cover) 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
Don't try to fight the feeling
Because the thought alone is killing me right now
Thank god for mom and dad
For sticking two together
'Cause we don't know how.
Chorus:
And, Hey Ya
Hey Ya
Hey Ya
Hey Ya
You think you've got it
Ohh, 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 seperate'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,
Love the exception?
So why you, why you
Why you, why you, why you are we so in denial
When we know we're not happy here
[Chorus]
And, Hey Ya
Hey Ya
Hey Ya
Hey Ya
Hey, alright now
Alright now fellas
Now what's cooler than being cool?
Ice Cold
I can't hear you
I say what's cooler than being cool?
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright,
Ok now ladies
And we gonna break this thing down in just a few seconds here
Now don't have me break it down for nothing
Now I wanna see y'all on y'alls baddest behavior
Lend me some sugar,
I am your neighbor
Shake it, shake, shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it, shake, shake it,
Shake it, shake, shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it, shake, shake it,
Shake it like a Polaroid picture
Shake it, shake, shake it, shake it
Shake it, shake it, shake, shake it,
[Chorus]
And, Hey Ya
Hey Ya
Hey Ya
Hey Ya
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
Because the thought alone is killing me right now
Thank god for mom and dad
For sticking two together
'Cause we don't know how.
And, Hey Ya

Im a fan of Andre 3000 (not so much Outkast, but Andre is truly talented) and what i find really interesting is that in the original Andre says:
"Y'all don't want me here you just wanna dance"
Meaning that no one really cares about what he was trying to say in the song.... until Mat Weddle did this cover. I think reason this cover is so brilliant is because Andre 3000 is a genius. Great song.
I LOVE THIS COVER. The way Mat sings these lyrics, it makes it sound like he wrote it, or it was written as a acoustic song. It really shows how Andre of Outkast is a really talented writer. Mat brings so much feeling to the lyrics.
The way he sings "hey ya"...i melt.
This song is fucking amazing alright! OutKast did great with this song but Obadiah Parker(Mat Weddle) definitely perfected the song I can't stop listening to it! two people stay together even though people say they shouldnt here are some songmeanings that i have gathered from other people and that were really useful for me to understand a lil more about the song
"Thank god for mom and dad For sticking two together 'Cause we don't know how" = nowadays theres no true love, couples dont stay together forever, unlike back in the day. be like mom and dad and try to stick it through together! long relationships CAN happen!!!
*"you think you've got it, but got it just don't get it when there's nothing at all to get" = To me, it's about the bittersweet side of love, it's great to be in love but sometimes it just doesn't work out
*It's about accepting change "People say that nothing lasts forever, what makes love an exception?" and acting upon it.
*I think he knows that the relationship is doomed, and it must be ended before it hurts them both ("separate's always better when there's feelings involved"). He is after all, just being honest.
*"y'all don't want to hear me, y'all just want to dance" = let's LIVE, move foward
There's meaning to "What's COOLER THAN BEING COOL" "ICE COLD" It's about how love has become completely degraded today. We confuse sex for love, and we don't have real feelings. It's "cool" to NOT SHOW EMOTIONAL ATTACHMENT. It's cooler than being cool. Be ice cold, completely emotionally unattached, cuz being a player is way more idealized than being a cool person with a steady girlfriend or boyfriend. All love is today is women showing off our goodies and men idealizing gettin some
I thank all those people who wrote these meanings peace out
agreed
agreed
fucking amazing
This is an AWESOME cover! Plus the song is pretty good when it comes to relationships. He put so much soul into it and thats what makes it such a great cover!!
"If what they say is "Nothing is forever" Then what makes love the exception?"
"Why are we so in denial When we know we're not happy here?"
Ok, this is like the best song on earth!! I like this version soooooooooo much better than the Outcast version. Its so mellow and sweet and such a better mood for the song.
Yeah, I agree. Nobody recognizes the song's lyrics until he sings it. When I heard it I was like wow, this is actually saying something. I love this:
"If what the say is "nothing is forever." Then what makes love the exception?"
great song.

Decent cover, I do like it =) Also, if anyone wanted to know, it's used in an episode of Scrubs.
actually according to Wikipedia, that version was by The Blanks.
