Hey Girl Lyrics by Moses Sumney
“Hey Girl” by Moses Sumney delves into fluid identity, intimacy, and vulnerability with poetic lyricism.
Hey, girl, who you lookin’ at?
Hey, girl
Hey, pearl, with the pretty act
Hey, pearl
Your world lookin’ pretty flat
Your world
Ladies’ room, meet me in the back
Ladies’ room
Ooh, and I’ll wait for you if you want me to
I’ll wait for you if you trust me too
You say you ain’t done this before
You say
Oh no, want you even more
Oh no, even more
Well, open, open, open
Open, open, open
Open up your eyes
Oh, I know the way is through your thighs
I’ll wait for you if you want me to
I’ll wait here for you if you trust me too
I’ll wait
I am not a woman
I’ll wait
I am not a man
Ooh, I’ll wait
I am an amoeba
Ooh, I’ll wait for you
You’ll never comprehend
Let me show you what’s up
Girl, listen to your body
I’ll meet you in your valley
Kinda like girl on girl with me
But bet you wanna touch on my body
Something like the touch of a lady
And I’ll wait for you if you want me to
I’ll wait for you if you trust me too
I’ll wait on you in the gentleman’s room
I’ll wait for you in the deep, deep blue
I already know what you would like me to do
You don’t have to wear that dress he likes
Or anything at all, not the alpha type
I’ll wait for you if you want me to
I’ll wait for you if you trust me too
I’ll wait for you if you want me to
I’ll wait for you if you trust me too
Hey, girl
Hey, girl
Hey, girl
Theme and Concept
The line “I am not a woman, I am not a man, I am an amoeba” challenges gender norms, reflecting fluid identity and defying societal expectations. Sumney’s use of intimate spaces, like the “ladies’ room” and “gentleman’s room”, evokes a theme of blurred boundaries. Imagery of “valleys” and “deep blue” conveys intimacy and emotional depth. The song explores trust, self-expression, and connection.
