Hey You (Live At the House of Blues, New Orleans / 2003) lyrics

[Intro: Natalie Stewart]
We're gonna try and come back, one day
You know, God willing
'Cause, uh, I remember you used to say these three special words
You used to say, uh, "Hey you"

[Verse 1: Natalie Stewart]
I see you on my blank sheet before I write
Or form or record this situation now
My memories choke me and stain my pillow
As my voice become hollow as I trace tear lines
Around this space that won't fill
And I feel nothing but this way and the emptiness stays
And it's cluttered with a silence that teases me
It leads me on like it's gonna say
Like it's gonna say...

[Chorus: Marsha Ambrosius, Natalie Stewart]
Hey you (Hey you), I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to come back, oh, oh (I try, it says)
Hey you (Hey you), I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to come back one day, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2: Natalie Stewart]
You know, yesterday
I stood outside in the rain in an attempt to
Dissolve away or just disappear or
Be gone, be back or be just
I try to see the point, I only see the pain
My dreams cry when they're slain
I regain consciousness to blurry vision
I try to listen out for whispers of
[Chorus: Marsha Ambrosius, Natalie Stewart]
Hey you (Hey you), I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to come back (I'll try), oh, oh (I'll try, hey)
Hey you (Hey you), oh, I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to come back (I'll try) one day

[Verse 3: Marsha Ambrosius]
Rain drops disguise my tears and I've gone
But I want you to be here, here with me to stand by me
Said I can't help to be selfish, baby
'Cause I don't wanna be alone, hey

[Chorus: Marsha Ambrosius, Natalie Stewart, Crowd, Floetry]
(Hey you) Hey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to come back (Let me hear you), oh, oh
(I need to hear the voices, just say, hey, hey you, keep that going)
I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to come back (Yo, let me just hear the people) one day
(I wanna hear the background vocalists, alright, here we go, just sing it)
Hey you (Woo), I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to come back, oh
(Come on, altos, where you at? Keep it going)
Hey you (Woo), I'm sorry that I have to leave (Keep that going)
I'll try to come back one day
(We're gonna make this old school real quick)
Hey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to come back, oh
Hey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to come back one day (It's like)
Hey you (Hey you), we're sorry that we have to leave
We'll try to come back, oh (We'll try to come back), oh
Hey you (Hey you), we're sorry that we have to leave
We'll try to come back one day (One day, one love, y'all)
