Hey Hey Hallelujah (Featuring Andy Grammer) Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Sangam 

Cover art for Hey Hey Hallelujah (Featuring Andy Grammer) lyrics by Rachel Platten

I'm turning you up I'm turning you on Yeah your head's saying danger, danger but your heart must be drunk And I know you don't settle and I know you're not weak But I think you can't help it, help it when it comes to me ooh

Instead of the other songs on Wldfire, this song is not about Rachel's emotions. It is about her having meaningless, non-emotional sex.

I really got a hold on you, you're begging me for more You never seen nobody do the things I do before singing Hey hey hallelujah, hey hey hallelujah Yeah I drive you crazy and your heart's about to break You're begging me for mercy, don't know how much you can take, singing Hey hey hallelujah, hey hey hallelujah

The guy has feelings for her, his heart is about to break.

Tonight I'm so cold not calling you back But tomorrow we'll cuddle, cuddle my legs in your lap (you know it) And your friends tried to warn you Said she'll tear you apart she's nothing but trouble, trouble She's playing you hard

She doesn't defend herself when her friends tell him she's playing him hard, because it is true. She is just calling him whenever she gets horny.

I don't know what you do to me Baby don't worry, I'm sugar and sweet I don't know what you do to me Baby don't worry, I'm good as can be I don't know what you do to me Baby don't worry, I'm sugar and sweet I don't know what you do to me Baby don't worry, I'm good as can be

When he realizes that his friends are right, she flirts and pretends to like him in order to get more sex.

I'm singing hallelujah when you touch me Hallelujah, Jeff Buckley Coming home to all my clothes out on the street yeah Five minutes later asking me where we eating Makin' me feel good when you put me on my knees And love me like you should you make me wanna scream Hallelujah, can't win I don't wanna lose you, all in

It looks like Andy Grammer voices the guy. He feels good when he is having sex with her, but knows he can't win and is going to lose her.

This song is about a girl who abuses a guy to get dirty, sinfull, meaningless sex. Instead of what mainstream media tells us, it isn't always the girl who has feelings for the guy and breaks her heart. Listening the song, I noticed her voice being a little different and more poppy than in other songs. It looks a bit like Ariana Grande. Maybe Rachel wanted to symbolize the perverted way other artist live and make songs, which is actually even more genius.
