Hey There
Love's Folly: Decoding Nancy Wilson's 'Hey There' Meaning
Lyrics
Hey there, you with the stars in your eyes
Addressing someone with dreams and aspirations.
Love never made a fool of you
Love has not made the person look foolish.
You used to be too wise
The person used to be wise but may have changed.
Hey there, you on that high-flyin' cloud
Referring to someone on a euphoric or optimistic state.
Though she won't throw a crumb to you
Despite challenges, the person hopes for reciprocation.
You think some day she'll come to you
Optimism that the desired person will eventually come around.
Better forget her
Suggesting moving on from an unresponsive person.
Her with her nose in the air
Describing the unresponsive person as aloof or arrogant.
She has you dancin' on a string
Implies being controlled or manipulated in the relationship.
Break it and she won't care
Breaking free won't affect the unresponsive person.
Won't you take this advice I
Encouraging the person to consider advice.
Hand you like a mother
Comparing the advice to that of a caring mother.
Or are you not seein' things too clear
Questioning the person's clarity of perception.
Are you too much in love to hear
Wondering if love is blinding the person to reality.
Is it all goin' in one
Suspecting that information isn't registering effectively.
Еar and out the other?
Questioning if the person is selectively hearing advice.
Won't you take this advicе I
Reiterating the importance of considering advice.
Hand you like a mother
Reaffirming the caring nature of the advice.
Or are you not seein' things too clear
Repeating the question about clarity of perception.
Are you too much in love to hear
Repeating the query about being too in love to hear.
Is it all goin' in one
Repeating the suspicion of information not registering.
Ear and out the other?
Repeating the doubt about selective hearing of advice.
