Hey You Lyrics


Remember how you used to, umm
You used to phone up and you wouldn't say your name
You'd just say, uh, "Hey you"You know, I see you on my blank sheet
Before I write or form or record this situation, yo
My memories choke me and stain my pillow
As my voice becomes hollowAs I trace tear lines around this space that won't fill, yo
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 sayHey you, sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back, ooh
Hey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back one dayYou know yesterday I, 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 but I only see the pain
You know, my dreams cry when they're slain
I regain consciousness to blurry vision
I try to listen out for whispers ofHey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back, ooh
Hey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back one dayRain drops disguise my tears have gone
And I want you to be here with me, to stand by me
Said I can't help but to be selfish, baby

'Cause I don't wanna be aloneHey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back, ooh
Hey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back one dayDid I leave you behind or did you let me go?
All I know is you're not here to say to me those special words
Time was once on our side but now it's against us
It parts us, all I want to hear you say isHey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come back, ooh
Hey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave, I'll try to come home one dayHey you, I'm sorry that I have to leave
I'll try to come home, I'll try to come home, said that
Hey you, I'm sorry, I said one day, I said one day
Said one day, one day, one day

Marsha Ambrosius and Natalie Stewart are the funky divas behind the neo-soul duo Floetry. Ambrosius and Stewart emerged in the mid-'90s as songwriters in demand. They're behind some of the new millennium's biggest hits, too. The pair has written tracks for Michael Jackson, Jill Scott, Glenn Lewis, and Bilal. While they're highly respected behind the scenes, Floetry is their way of moving up front.

Ambrosius is the songstress to Stewart's spoken word impresario or "floacist" role. The two met due to their love of basketball. Stewart, who hails from London, was a superstar on her court, while Ambrosius wowed fans in her local English neighborhood. They were competitive, but not rivals, so a friendship was formed. Music was also a passion. Ambrosius relished in her reggae roots while Stewart found herself grooving to funk and soul. While attending Brits Performing Arts School, Ambrosius studied business and finance, but made room for courses in voice, performance technique, and recording. Stewart split her time between acting and directing. Later, Ambrosius and Stewart headed to college.

Ambrosius planned to attend Georgia Tech University on a basketball scholarship, but injury forced her to bow out. Stewart headed for Middlesex University, eventually transferring to North London University. Still, they two kept in touch and raved about music. It wouldn't be until Stewart's girl group, 3 Plus 1, disbanded that Floetry would actually give music a serious shot.

In 1997, Ambrosius and Stewart began writing songs and playing shows in and around London. Three years later, they moved to America in search of something bigger. A brief stint in Atlanta didn't pan out, but their time spent in Philadelphia proved golden. Ambrosius and Stewart befriended Julius Erving III, basketball great Julius Erving's son, in mid-2000. Floetry and Erving clicked instantly. Erving signed on as their manager and hooked the ladies up with Jeff Townes, aka DJ Jazzy Jeff, for some recording. That's when the deals started trickling in -- Floetry were official and living out a dream. In 2002, they inked a deal with DreamWorks and touched up their own work for a debut album. Floetic appeared in October 2002, and its follow-up, Flo'Ology, reached the Top Ten upon release three years later.
