Hey Girl Lyrics


Girl, hold my hand
Girl, I know you'll understand
That I've been waiting for a long, long time
Think every thing's gonna turn out fine

Hey, hey, it's alright
Hey, hey, it's alright
Hey, hey, my, my, my
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah

Girl, treat me kind
And girl, I think you'll find
That no one can love you better than me
Close your eyes and I think you'll see

Hey, hey, it's alright
Hey, hey, my, my, my
Hey, hey, come on children
Hey, hey, my, oh, my

When I think of what I've missed
It makes me laugh inside
All the girls that I ain't kissed
Just to keep my pride
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

So girl, look around
And girl, see what we've found
We've found something we can't fight
Don't think twice it'll be alright now

Hey, hey, it's alright
Hey, hey, I said my, my, my, yeah
Hey, hey, it's alright
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, it's alright

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, it's alright
Hey, ow, hey, ooh, it's alright
Hey, ooh, hey, yeah it's alright

Hey hey, c'mon shake your hand
Hey, hey, alright a promised land
Hey, hey, yeah woh, it's alright
Hey, hey, you know what I mean, it's alright
Well, I say alright alright, alright

Hey Girl
  • This commercially-leaning single was written by Small Faces band members Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane. It was a compromise between the band and their manager Don Arden as Arden wanted a very radio-friendly song. Keyboardist Ian McLagan recalled to Uncut magazine: "Just a little pop song. Steve and Ronnie were being shrewd. After that, they were the writers. I was music musically frustrated in the studio at this point, but live we were raw and raucous."
  • Released on May 6, 1966 with the B-side "Almost Grown," the song peaked at #10 on the UK singles chart.
  • McLagan remembered to Uncut: "In those early days, the bridge of 'Hey Girl,' which goes to a minor key became a pattern. Steve would ask me to play a solo on piano and organ for a new song and I'll be thinking, 'hang on haven't played this bridge before?' They were writing very fast."
