Hey Now Lyrics

[Intro]
(Ah ah, ah ah)

[Verse 1]
Hey now (Ah ah)
What you gonna do? (Ah ah)
Are you gonna be mine (ah ah)
Tried and true (Ah ah)

[Verse 2]
Hey, hey, hey now (Ah ah)
Give it to me straight (Ah ah)
Am I gonna be the one (Ah ah)
Or just another date? (Ah ah)

[Bridge]
Look a-here (Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, mmm)
I gotta know quick (Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, bop)
Just waitin' on your line
When I can find another guy

[Verse 3]
So hey, hey, hey now (Ah ah)
Whatcha gonna say? (Ah ah)
Are you gonna go on (Ah ah)
Or are you gonna stay? (Ah ah)

[Bridge]
Look a-here (Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, mmm)
I gotta know quick (Shoo-bop, shoo-bop, bop)
Because I can't waste my time
Just waitin' on your line
When I can find another guy

[Verse 3]
So hey, hey, hey now (Ah ah)
Mmm, whatcha gonna say? (Ah ah)
Are you gonna go on (Ah ah)
Or are you gonna stay? (Ah ah)

[Verse 3]
I said hey, hey, hey now (Ah ah)
Mmm, whatcha gonna say? (Ah ah)
Are you gonna go on (Ah ah)
Or are you gonna stay? (Ah ah)

[Verse 3]
Ah, hey, hey, hey now (Ah ah)
Whatcha gonna say? (Ah ah)
Mmm, you gonna go on (Ah ah)...

Genius Annotation

The follow-up to Lesley’s summertime hit, “Maybe I Know”, “Hey Now” was released the following fall.

Mercury Records expected the R&B tinged disk to become a cross-over hit for Lesley, however it failed to meet the Mercury Execs' expectations—stalling at number 76 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Due the style of “Hey Now” not being what pop audiences were accustomed to, and the temporary discontinuation of Billboard’s Hot R&B Singles chart during its run, “Hey Now” was unable to find footing with listeners of either genre—leaving it to flounder in sales.
