Believe me It always turns out the same Oh, affection has always been a little game And forgive me It's one I've never understood Love to me has been as bad as good I've been drowning in the water That you're walking on Been falling through the air Whilst you float up Hey ya, hey ya I'll kiss your eyes, I'll wash your skin Hey ya, hey ya Forget myself and let you in Hey ya, hey ya 'Cause all I want is that cold affliction Of your affection ♪ And believe me Oh, it happens all the time Oh, affection can be as cruel as it is kind Oh, and lover, won't you give me a sign? Seems love can be as deaf as it is blind I've been drowning in the water That you're walking on Been falling through the air Whilst you float up Hey ya, hey ya I'll kiss your eyes, I'll wash your skin Hey ya, hey ya Forget myself and let you in Hey ya, hey ya 'Cause all I want is that cold affliction Of your affection And fall down into sleep Into a fever dream Where I barely know what is going on Except I know that I want you And I know that I need you And I tell you I love you again and again and again and again Hey ya, hey ya I'll kiss your eyes, I'll wash your skin Hey ya, hey ya Forget myself and let you in Hey ya, hey ya 'Cause all I want is that cold affliction Of your affection
