by Obadiah Parker


This is an accurate tab, taken straight off the youtube video

Verse One 
             
My baby don't mess around

Because she loves me so
                  
And this I know for shooo..
            
But does she really wanna

But can't stand to see me
            
Walk out the dooor..
            
Don't try to fight the feelin'
                                             
Because the thought alone is killing me right nooww..
             
Thank god for mom and dad

For sticking two together
                    


[Chorus:]
   
Hey Yah
   
Hey Yah
   
Hey Yah
   
Hey Ya

(SAME CHORDS FOR BOTH VERSE AND CHORUS)

Verse 2 
               
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

Ohh, 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, 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 heeeerrreeee...


[Chorus]
   
Hey Yah 
   
Hey Yah  
(Slow strumming at the end)
   
Hey Yah 
   
Hey Yah
