Jay Young - Hey, Hey! Lyrics

There's a pretty girl livin down the street
Think she one or two grades younger than me
I overheard her girlfriend say her name was Dawneen

Well she lives in that house with the curtains drawn
No cars out front and a shaggy lawn
I heard her daddy ran off and left her to care for her mom

And I can see it so clear
Her bedroom posters and tears
All alone
Killin time with her fears
Wondering when
A friend will appear and say

Hey, Hey!
Beautiful girl won't you come outside
You can hop on my bike and we'll go for a ride
Down to the park and we'll swing your blues away

Hey, Hey!
Beautiful girl you don't know my name
You can see in my eyes that we're both the same
I'll be your best friend put a smile on your pretty face
Beautiful girl, beautiful girl, beautiful girl

There's a good reason I don't sleep at home
Me and the old man never got along
And I aint big on fighting, I'm better off out on my own

And maybe I'm cute but it don't help much
Cuz I'm the kinda lonely that you just can't touch
And I aint big on flirting, I'm better off being in crush

Cuz I can see it so clear
Her bedroom posters and tears
All alone
Killin time with her fears
Wondering when
A friend will appear and say

Hey, Hey!
Beautiful girl won't you come outside
You can hop on my bike and we'll go for a ride
Down to the park and we'll swing your blues away

Hey, Hey!
Beautiful girl you don't know my name
You can see in my eyes that we're both the same
I'll be your best friend put a smile on your pretty face
Beautiful girl, beautiful girl, beautiful girl

Well what if I show up
Would you shoo me away
Would you tell me I'm crazy
Or worse yet lame
Or would you come a-runnin'
Unfurling your hair in the sun
Like you'd been a-waitin'
And I was the only one

There's alot of cars in her driveway today
Seems her poor mama finally faded away
And all the family buzzards flew in to peck at the prey

I could be your white knight and whisk you away
But we're too young so we just do what they say
But my heart aches for you so badly I think that I may
Just die

Cuz I can see it so clear
The angry faces and tears
All alone
In a crushing crowd full of fears
Wondering when
A friend will appear and say

Hey, Hey!
Beautiful girl won't you come outside
You can hop on my bike and we'll go for a ride
Down to the park and we'll swing your blues away

Hey, Hey!
Beautiful girl you don't know my name
You can see in my eyes that we're both the same
I'll be your best friend put a smile on your pretty face
Beautiful girl, beautiful girl, beautiful girl
