Hey Ho!

Written by 

Charles N. Baxter Jr., Gilberto Linares and James A. Wheat

I said Hey! (Hey!) Ho! (Hey ho!)

Where are you going to go?

Now that I’m gone, and you’re home alone.

I said Oh! (Oh!) My! (Oh my!)

I believe it’s time for me to fly

Out of this town,

Everyday I had to tow the line,

Now I’m leaving you behind.

I said No! (No!) Way! (No way!)

There ain’t no way I would stay,

Knowing you lied,

I said we’re! (We’re!) Through! (We’re through!)

I’ll find a lover that’s true,

And I’ll replace you , so I won’t be blue

Everyday I had to draw the line,

I Know

Well it’s been too long, since I’ve seen her face

This used to be our home, now it’s an empty place

Cause I know, she’s seeing another man

Get by another day, just to see this through

There has to be a way , that I could know the truth

Cause I know, she’s seeing another man

All this time, I thought it was me

But loving eyes are blind, I just didn’t see

That it was over before it began

Cause I know, she’s seeing another man

Can’t seem to understand, just where I went wrong

Did I push her away, into another’s arms

Cause I know, she’s seeing another man

All this time, she blamed it on me

But nothing’s as easy, quite as it seems

I gave it my all, all I could stand.

Cause I know, she’s seeing another man.

Cause I know, she’s seeing another man.

Cause I know, she’s seeing another man.

Cause I know, she’s seeing another man.

When the sun sets, on this sleepy little town.

That’s when you know, you know I’m coming ‘round.

You can’t run…You can’t hide.

I’m knocking on your door, open up and let me inside.

You’ll never, ever find a love like this again,

Give up….Just give up.

I look in your eyes, they say yes I will.

You try to hold back, but let me love you still.

When I leave, it sure won’t be for long

Cause what I feel for you baby, feels just as strong.

You’ll never, ever feel a love like this again,

Give up….Just give up.

You’ve got to believe, that I’m the only one.

That’ll treat you right and never leave you alone.

A hard thing to find, is another just like me.

Cause I’ll be there to give you baby, anything you need.

You’ll never, ever need a love like this again,

Give up….Just give up.

There’s a dark cloud, hanging over me.

There’s a dark cloud, hanging over me.

Can’t find the light of day baby, hard times are all I see.

It’s been a long time baby, since you’ve been gone.

It’s been a long time baby, since you’ve been gone.

Well my life loves misery, but I’ve got to move on.

That’s why I blame it baby,  blame it on the blues.

That’s why I blame it baby, I blame it on the blues.

When I’m cold and lonely, that’s just what I chose.

Didn’t have to treat me wrong, I gave you all I had.

Didn’t have to treat me wrong, I gave you all I had.

You left me with nothing, my heart is hurt so bad.

I feel so cold now baby, now that your love has gone away.

I feel so cold now baby, now that your love has gone away.

You never told me you loved me, so I’ve got something to say.

Well you never want to love me, 

but you never want to leave.

You never, ever do nothing, except what you please.

I’ve got something to tell you baby, 

you should always remember.

There’s one thing you just can’t do, 

that’s never say never.

You know you’ve never been to work, 

so you’ve never made a dime.

And of all that I recall you ain’t never been on time.

I’ve got something I must share with you, 

in the rain or stormy weather.

There’s one thing you just can’t do, 

that’s never say never.

I’m not giving you no lines. I’m just leaving you behind.

Cause you never really thought I’d go.

So just watch me walk out your door.

So never say never…Never say never.

You say you’ll never be lonely 

and you say you’ll never cry,

But every time I call, I hear teardrops in your eyes.

You swear you’ll never do it again 

and things will be better.

There’s one thing you just can’t do, 

that’s never say never.

There’s one thing you just can’t do.

Yeah, one thing you just can’t do,

One thing you just can’t do, Oh!  Never say never.

During the morning, your vision is blurred,

A sad-eyed prisoner when you’re at work,

All day long, you’re running for the coffee pot.

It’s just one crutch, just one crutch.

One after another, got ya leaning on another one.

Turn on the TV when you get home.

Tired of listening to the radio.

Lately it’s every night going up in smoke.

It’s just one crutch, just one crutch.

One after another, got ya leaning on another one.

One after another, keeping you from discovering,

I’ll bet you, by the way, they're bringing you down.

I got the low tide, nightlife, make it so easy blues,

That I got from you.

Lately, I ain’t been sleeping very much.

‘Cause it’s just one crutch, just one crutch.

One after another, got ya leaning on another one.

Just one crutch, just one crutch.

One after another, got ya leaning on another one.

Just when you think that you’ve got it made.

Next job comes and you’re underpaid.

That foolish pride of yours is getting you down.

You feel like screaming when there’s no one around.

Waiting on payday, it comes once a week.

7 million people moving out on the streets.

Subways are crowded, they’re all in a shuffle.

Everybody’s thinking….Up a New York Hustle.

You hear on the news the Dow Jones is up.

Getting minimum wage, just ain’t enough.

Thinking of stealing, but afraid you’ll get caught.

But you’re trying to get rid of all the problems you’ve got.

To manage your money is really a bitch.

The poor are getting poor, the rich are getting rich.

A half a million people trying to get on the shuttle.

 Everybody’s working….On a New York Hustle.

People to the right, some more to the left.

You’ve got to get to work on time and give it your best.

When you get to the bus stop, you always have to wait.

You might get docked 2 hours cause you’re 5 minutes late.

Your boss gets uptight, gets his nerves in a tussle.

Everybody’s doing, everybody’s doing, everybody’s doing,

A New York Hustle.

You know there’s been many times, I sat by myself.

Waiting, yes I’m waiting…for something else.

I’m trying to ease the pain, trying to ease the pain, in my heart.

Sweet baby’s gone…she’s gone for good.

I stayed out much later, longer than I should.

I’m trying to ease the pain, trying to ease the pain, in my heart.

You ended up, just like the rest, 

trying to change who I am.

Now that you’re gone, I’m still the same, 

but I’m doing the best that I can.

Where oh where, has my baby gone.

This time she’s gone too far 

she’s been away too long.

I’m trying to ease the pain, trying to ease the pain, in my heart.

I’m trying to find somebody new, she’s nowhere to be found.

It’s so hard to love again, 

cause she still keeps pulling me down.

Someday I’ll find another woman, but now I’m alone.

Wondering if she’ll love me better'n I’ve ever known.

I’m trying to ease the pain, trying to ease the pain, in my heart.

I’m trying to ease the pain, trying to ease the pain, in my heart.

Well I’ve never been to Spain,

But I kinda like the music.

They say the ladies are insane there,

And they sure know how to use it

They don’t abuse it,

Ain’t never gonna lose it,

I can’t refuse it.

Well I’ve never been to England,

But you know I kinda like the Beatles.

Well I headed for Las Vegas,

I only made it out to Needles.

Can you feel it, yeah you best believe it,

Feels so good.  Feels so good.

Well I’ve never been to heaven,

But I’ve been to Oklahoma.

Lord they tell me I was born there,

But I really don’t remember.

In Oklahoma, not Arizona,

What does it matter,

What does it matter

I lie alone, 

although you’re with me you’re not here.

On the phone, a silent voice whispers in your ear.

Hear the footsteps of another man, 

they’re closing in.

I can feel a stranger coming to take my baby…..again.

You turn to him, 

I’ll turn to her just to stop the pain.

Who plays the fool, 

when they’re gone only we remain.

My heart grows cold and our heart and soul, 

is about to end.

I can feel a stranger coming to take my baby…..again.

Hide the shame, 

with a smile and your lying eyes.

Each and every day, 

Lord it comes to me as no surprise.

I know you think about him, time and time again.

I can feel a stranger coming there goes my baby…..again.
