Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
Girls say,boys say,
Hey baby, hey baby, hey
Hey baby baby
I'm the kinda girl that hangs with the guys
Like a fly on the wall with my secret eyes
Taking it in, try to be feminine
With my makeup bag watching all the sin
Misfit, I sit, lit up, wicked
Everybody else surrounded by the girls
With the tank tops and the flirty ways

I'm just sipping on chamomile
Watching boys and girls and their sex appeal
With a stranger in the face who says he knows my mom
And went to my high school

[Chorus]
All the boys say,
Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
Girls say, girls say,
Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
Hey baby baby
Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
Boys say, boys say
Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
All the boys get the girls in the back

I'm the one they feed upon
Give a bit a star is born
And if you had enough you'll get the pass
And you can tell your friends how you made it back
No matter what they say I'm still the same
Somehow everybody knows my name
And all the girls want to get with the boys
And the boys really like it

[Chorus]

[Bounty Killer]
Check it out, it's Bounty Killer, and no doubt
Jump on the stage makes me going crazy
After wards myself and one of them gorgeous ladies(that's right)
There is no need to be acting shady
Come on baby, hey hey baby
Jump on the stage makes me going crazy
After wards myself and one of them gorgeous ladies(yea man)
There is no need to be acting shady
Come on baby, hey hey baby
When you rock your hips you know that it amaze me
Got me off the hook and nothing else don't phase me
Can you be my one and only sunshine lady
If no, no maybe, hey

[Gwen]
I'm just sipping on chamomile
Watching boys and girls and their sex appeal
With a stranger in the face who says he knows my mom
And went to my high school
(hey baby, hey baby)(that's right)

All the boys say,
Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
Girls say, girls say,
Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
Hey baby baby (hey baby)
Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
Boys say, boys say
Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
Can you be my one and only sunshine lady
Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
Girls say, girls say,
Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
When you rock your hips you know that it amaze me
Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
Boys say, boys say
Hey baby, hey baby, hey!
All the boys get the girls in the back

    General Comment:Ahem it's about "backstage". She watches the guys and the groupies. She's a voyeur when she's in the mirror as she does her make-up until the stranger appears in her face...lol

    General Comment:This is a really good song, it reminds me of a book series I used to read. Personally, I think it's about how she's sort of fed up with everything and all the things boys do and stuff. But that's just me.

    General Comment:I think this song is great and just because it has a pop sounding beat to it doesn't mean they're "following the crowd" or what your standards might be for staying "different". They are what they've always been and I think that's obvious in the lyrics too. All of their songs are about women's rights and I think that's what makes them so awesome. You don't have to be a tomb boy to prove yourself...you can be whoever you want to be. You can hang with the guys and not have to hook up. You're a person not just a sex :D

    General Comment:LOL, I left a comment on here 2 years ago kind of complaining about this song because I am a "hardcore" ND fan. However, Rock Steady has really grown on me. Yes, it is completely different than the previous 4 albums, but all those albums are very different also. The lyrics seem meaningless compared to previous albums, but has anyone paid attention to the lyrics from their first CD? "A Little Something Refreshing" ring a bell? The band's growing, trying new things, give them a break. The lyrics might be simpler, because Gwen's happy, but pay attention to the band's performances--this album focuses more on beat than lyrics. Anyways, I enjoy this song, and most of the songs on Rock Steady, as well as most of the songs from Gwen's CD. Lighten up people! Listen to some different genres!
    But yeah, I think this song is about Gwen's relationship with the band--the girl hanging with the boys. I quite enjoy it.

    General Comment:i don't like this song at all. it appeals too much to the "top 40's" radio stations. to me, this is not typical of no doubt at all.
