Written about Burton Cummings after The Guess Who broke up, Hey You is a letter from Bachman to his ex-bandmate about how Cummings threw everything they had with The Guess Who down the drain.
[Verse 1]
Hey you!
You say you wanna change the world
It's alright
With me! There's no regret
It's my turn!
The circle game has brought me here
And I won't let down 'till every song is set
[Pre-Chorus]
You realize now!
You should have tried now, oh!
The music's gone now!
You lost it, somehow
[Chorus]
Hey you!
Sha la la la
Hey you!
Sha la la la
Woo!
Sha la la la
Woo!
Sha la la la
[Verse 2]
Hey you!
You say the race is much too fast
It's okay
With me! I'm keeping pace
It's my game!
The music is inside my head
For every one on top there's one who can't retrace
[Pre-Chorus]
You realize now!
You should have tried now!
Oh! Oh!
The music's gone now!
You'll find out!
You lost it, somehow
[Chorus]
Hey you!
Sha la la la
Hey you!
Sha la la la
Woo!
Sha la la la
Woo!
Sha la la la
[Pre-Chorus]
You realize now, oh!
You could have tried now!
The music's gone now!
You lost it, somehow
[Chorus]
Hey you! Hey you!
Sha la la la
Hey you!
Sha la la la
Woo!
Sha la la la
Woo!
Sha la la la
[Outro]
Sha la la la
Hey you!
Hey you!
Hey you!
Woo!
Sha la la la
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baby, it's true!
Woo!
Sha la la la
No time, no time left, no time!
Woo!
Sha la la la
Don't let me down! Don't let me down!
Woo!
Sha la la la
You gotta learn to take it easy, baby!
Woo!
Sha la la la
Music's over! It's over!
Woo!
Sha la la la
Too late! Too late! Too late!
Woo!
Sha la la la
I should have realised it a lot sooner than this!
Woo!
Sha la la la
Hey you!
Woo!
Hey you!
