Joel, Billy - Hey Girl Lyrics






Hey girl! I want you to know,
I'm gonna miss you so much if you go
And hey girl! I tell you no lie,
Something deep inside of me's going to die
If you say so long,
If this is good-bye

Oh! Hey girl! This can't be true
How am I supposed to exist without you
And, hey girl! Now don't put me on,
What's gonna happen to me when you're gone
How will I live
How can I go on
How can I go on
Hey girl!

Oh! Hey girl! Now sit yourself down,
I'm not ashamed to get down on the ground
And Then beg you to stay
Don't go away
Hey girl!
Don't go away
Hey girl!
Don't go away

    i played in a band with billy during and after high school. he performed this freddie scott song way back then too, i think it may be one of his favorite songs that he didn't write himself. he does a masterful job with it here. . . jim gorman

  7. L.... A....

    BILLY JOEL DID A EXCELLENT AND OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE WITH

    THIS GENUINE CLASSIC HIT SONG
    ORIGINALLY WAS RECORDED BY
    FREDDIE SCOTT.

  8. T.... R....

    I made a mistake, with his name, I pronounced his last name wrong, I should have said the late Great Freddie Scott.🥰❤️❤️😍😍😍❤️❤️👩🏾

  9. T.... R....

    Billy Joel sound Awesome, he hit it out the Ball Park, best Renditon, I heard, but no one sounds as good as the original singer and we all know who that is, the late great Freddie hubbard.❤️❤️❤️👍🏾🥰🥰🥰🥰👩🏾

  10. H.... B....

    If my memory serves me right, it was on old GB Brian Poole song. Wink!

  11. C.... R....

    This is the only cover in which I like it more than the original recording.

  12. T.... L....

    The best

  13. C.... G....

    He does the best rendition since the singer, Freddie Scott did it and so does Michael Mc Donald. I have the original Freddie Scott's rendition. I have the 45 in my record collection. love this song.

  14. T.... W....

    Top tune

  15. D.... R....

    Looks like Mark Rivera an Sax to me

  16. P.... B....

    I miss you Bernadette you left me you went to the angel miss you 💗

  17. G.... C....

    Just shows this man could sing humpty dumpty and it b great

  18. N.... D....

    THIS is The SHIT !!!   Classic tune sounds new and Billy one of his BEST vocals ever  in my opinion !  GREAT BAND too , with the HOF Felix Cav' on the keys  { this was already 23 years ago !!  STILL sounds FATT ! Nicky D. east bay artist...*

  19. J.... J....

    Eu me lembro de ouvir, pela primeira vez, Billy Joel nos meus quatorze anos de idade com "Just The Way You Are" , pela trilha sonora internacional da telenovela da Globo "Te Contei?".

  20. D.... G....

    We were both in unhappy loveless marriages. We were seeing each other secretly but things weren’t smooth. So in love but had to leave each other and go back to our “real lives”. We was going to stop and the bartender called last call. I grabbed my wife and was heading out but wait this song came on the jukebox and I melted. Could tell she was melting too. I stopped and couldn’t take my eyes off her as they filled with tears and my heart was aching and she was looking back at me with the same feelings and we didn’t care who seen us. Finally I motioned her to meet me at the exit. I was so nervous and was actually pacing I then said to her do you want me, I don’t want to play games we’re either gonna be together or not. Well we did last 7 years but it just was bad timing and all that love eventually wasn’t enough. But I’ll never ever forget what we had for a while. It was like nothing else ever before.

  21. M.... A....

    Muitas saudades....linda música

  22. M.... A....

    Linda!!!!!

  23. s.... t....

    Yes ithis is the greatest version of all time!!!!❤️❤️

  25. N.... D....

    superb on ALL levels !!!!  I am now 56 and this is THE SHIT !!!   AWESOME !!  +  Felix on the B3 too !  Billy's most SOULFUL performance I've ever heard !!  A++

  26. V.... 6....

    From Freddie Scott to Billy Joel the torch has been past on to capable hands. Never like Donny Osmond teeny popper version. Tom Jones is another singer who I feel this song would be suited for.

  27. O.... R....

    So good!

  28. G.... D....

    Beautiful interpretation, I had not heard it with Billy Joel, incredible.

  29. E.... B....

    Sorry, should be exclamation point!

  32. S.... K....

    Some people gave it the thumbs down,incredible

  33. M.... G....

    Right To Tears Right. He Can Realy Lay It Out.

  34. W.... J....

    JOB WITH THIS GOLDEN

    CLASSIC HIT AND MASTERPIECE SONG BY THE LATE AND GREAT
    BY FREDDIE SCOTT.

  50. K.... C....

    One of the most beautiful versions of this song.

  51. J.... D....

    Much better than the original. I've only just discovered Billy Joe he is great and very underestimated as a singer.

    J.... D....

    haha where have you been hiding this guy has tons of hits and you know none of his songs.

  52. m.... m....

    Love ❤...the style, saxophone, the man(B.J.), and the song.

  53. R.... R....

    I like Billy Joel's version and Michael McDonald's but Freddy Scott will always be the best for me. It takes me right back to 7th grade when I had my first real crush.

  54. P.... J....

    Michelle.....

  55. W.... P....

    What more can be said .. EXCELLENT all around. Thanks for this.

  56. R.... C....

    I've always Loved this song, and this is the best version ever Love his voice,

  57. T.... L....

    Damn this man can sing. He reminds me of my brother Rick.

  58. A.... M....

    How can anyone give a thumbs down to that performance. He did way better than the original. I heard him do this song 30 years ago and loved it ever since

  59. S.... C....

    Love this! It is right up there with the late great Paul Williams of the Temptations!

  60. E.... C....

    Billy Joel is one of the all tome greatest romantic singers!

  61. P.... ....

    billy joel hit this one again great music arrangement. shout out to the barkada Marimar whereever u are?

  72. p.... s....

    Love Billy, this is an amazing copy of this song

  73. S.... ....

    Geez that was great! Love this tune! Definitive version for me to be sure!

  74. S.... R....

    I forgot just what a great singer Joel is.

  75. L.... M....

    Billy's vocal nuance, style, and sensitivity is custom-made for this most amazing King/Goffin tune. And yes... this is easily the finest take on this song I've heard to date. Bravice, Mr. Joel... Truly.

  76. S.... ....

    One of the greatest musical talents of my lifetime and I love his version of this great song. However, the original by Freddy Scott was better, IMHO.

  77. N.... A....

    Pretty descent work !

  78. t.... ....

    Love this version. I can’t stand the guy, personally, but, he’s A-1 as an entertainer....

  79. R.... P....

    Excellent. Doesn't get any better than this! Mastered Art!

  80. N.... B....

    Oh my goodness! Goosebumps!

  81. B.... S....

    I’m really nobody however I know a good musician when I hear it... 🎼🎶🎵

  82. M.... M....

    Had chills listening to this song. WOW!
    This is one of the classiest things I have ever seen
    This is one of the classiest things I have ever seen

  83. M.... D....

    personally I think Michael McDonald's version is better, the rhythmic component is irresistible, this version is still one of the best.

    M.... D....

    Billy's voice has more mass appeal. With Michael's it doesn't for this version only. Don't get me wrong MM is one of my favorite vocalists. But in saying that, Billy's voice would sound not the right fit if he sings What A Fool Believe :)

    M.... D....

    HAHA michael Mcdonald can hardly sing he sounds like he has a sock in his mouth.

  84. J.... T....

    This is one of the classiest things I have ever seen
    This is "Hey Girl" best cover ever...Love & light from Florianópolis, Brazil.

  85. A.... B....

    Is that Vinnie Colaiuta on drums?

    A.... B....

    No, it's Liberty DeVitto, his longtime drummer since "Turnstiles" in 1976.

    A.... B....

    @Thorsten Iding Great thanks for the info!

  86. F.... A....

    I love his version of this song! It is the best!

  87. M.... D....

    No one does this song better !

  88. C.... A....

    He just slapped that sax. And made it his BITCH.

  89. D.... R....

    This cover is great ... but I still like Freddie Scott's better!

  90. D.... S....

    Love this song!!   I play along  with bass,,,   great song for bass practice!!

  91. G.... K....

    Wow absolutely beautiful.Exceptional rendition of this song. A class if it's own.
