[Verse 1]
If I could give you
All the things you've been denied
Would it change you?
Would you feel alive?
But all that's left now
Are these words that I've been
Trying to say to you now
And together we'll get by somehow

[Pre-Chorus]
All you ever wanted
Was someone to find
The truth you hide from everyone
Deep inside

[Chorus]
Hey ya, hey ya
You're the only one I want
Hey, hey ya, hey ya

[Verse 2]
And I would drown to save you from
The sinking thoughts you feel
And I'll love you just the same
So don't you ever feel ashamed
'Cause we all get tired of fighting
Just to feel like we belong
And I know you feel forgotten
But I've been here all along to say
[Pre-Chorus]
All you ever wanted
Was someone to find
The truth you hide from everyone
Deep inside

[Chorus]
Hey ya, hey ya
You're the only one I want
Hey, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
You're the only one I want
Hey, hey ya, hey ya

[Bridge]
And you hide yourself so deep inside
Will I ever see, ever see you?
Now I'm the one who's been denied
But I believe in you, believe in you

[Chorus]
And hey ya, hey ya
You're the only one I want
Hey, hey ya, hey ya
Hey ya, hey ya
You're the only one I want
Hey, hey ya, hey ya
[Outro]
You're the only one I want
