Verse 1
What do you have on me that I do not know myself?
Yes, I was on my knees but I did not need your help
You say your body's burning and you'd like to wear my skin
How did this start? How will it end?
VERSE 2
I've got my head on straight and I'm willing to tell the truth
No, I won't play no games and I won't put no spells on you
But, you've got a lot to learn, you've got a lot to understand
Before I let you take my heart into your hands
Chorus 1: hmmma, hey ya, hey ya (2X)
VERSE 3
Like a rock in a river worn down by the water's rage
Empty mind, empty soul, turns to empty page
Who gets to break their windows? Who gets to break their chains?
Who claims their freedom? Who is doomed to stay the same?
Chorus 2: hmmma, hey ya, hey ya (4X)
VERSE 4
So, what do you have on me that I do not know myself?
Yes, I was on my knees but I did not need your help
You say your body's burning and you'd like to wear my skin
Well, I'm not some game for you to win
You know, I'm not some soul to save from sin
So, don't even start this 'cause I know just how it will end
