Hey there

You with the stars in your eyes

Love's never made a fool of you

You used to be too wise.

Hey there

You on that high-flying cloud

Though she won't throw a crumb to you

You think someday she'll come to you.

Better forget her

Her with her nose in the air

She's got you dancing on a string

Break it and she won't care

Won't you take this advice

I hand you like a brother

Or are you not seeing things too clear?

Are you too much in love to hear?

Is it all going in one ear

And out the other?

(repeat last verse)

Hey There! Hey There!

Hey There!.......
