HEY LOVE
(Lee Pockriss / Paul Vance (m & l))

Johnny Mathis 1961
originally recorded 1959


Doobee doobee doob, doobee doobee doob, dobee doobee doob, doo wow.

Hey love
You’re just a step behind me
Hey love
When are you goin’ to find me
You know I’m ready for the taking
So won’t you hurry up, won’t you hurry up, won’t you hurry up
Hey love.

Hey love
Look how my heart is glowing
Hey love
Let’s get a romance going
You know I’m just no good without you
So won’t you hurry up, won’t you hurry up, won’t you hurry up
Hey love.

Hey love
I wanna know what it’s like to break up
Kiss and make up
Oh, I wanna feel my temperature rise
When I look in your eyes.

Hey love
You’re acting awfully lazy
Come on, help me go slightly crazy
You know, I’ll never fall without you
So won’t you hurry up, won’t you hurry up, won’t you hurry up
Hey love.

Hey love
I wanna know what it’s like to break up
Kiss and make up
Oh, I wanna feel my temperature rise
When I look in your eyes.

Hey love
You’re acting awfully lazy
Come on, help me go slightly crazy
You know, I’ll never fall without you
So won’t you hurry up, won’t you hurry up…
Won’t you hurry up, won’t you hurry up, won’t you hurry up
Hey love.

NOTES:

Johnny Mathis has sold over 350 million records confirmed by Guinness World
Records and was the undisputed king of the romantic Fifties ‘make out ‘ music.

Interestingly, his Greatest Hits albums (3) starting in 1958 of which this lyric
is part, were the beginning of a trend copied by every record company to this
day (‘Greatest Hits’). The first album of this collection still holds the
distinction of being the second longest charting album in the history of
Billboard (490 weeks).

As well as on album, these lyrics also appeared as a 45 rpm single on the flip
side of the well known Maria (West Side Story). (UK 1959 . US 1960)
