Hey, Man!Nelly Furtado

Released: July 16, 2002

Songwriter: Nelly Furtado

Producer: Gerald Eaton Brian West

[Verse 1]
Hey, man, don't look so scared
You know I'm only testing you out
Hey man, don't look so angry
You're real close to figuring me out
We are a part of a circle, it's like a Mobius strip
And it goes 'round and 'round until it loses a link

[Chorus]
And there's a shadow in the sky and it looks like rain, oh, oh
And shit is gonna fly once again

[Verse 2]
Hey, man, we look at each other with ample eyes
And why not some time to discover what's behind your eyes?
And I've got so many questions that I want to ask you
I am so tired of mirrors - pour me a glass of your wine

[Chorus]
And there's a shadow in the sky and it looks like rain, oh, oh
And shit is gonna fly once again

[Bridge]
I've got a bunch of government cheques at my door
Each morning I try to send them back, but they only send me more
I look at myself in the mirror
Am I vital today?
Hey, man, I let my conscience get in the way

[Chorus]
And there's a shadow in the sky, but it looks like rain, oh, oh
And shit is gonna fly once again, oh
And I don't mean to rain on your parade
But pathos has got me once again, oh

[Outro]
And I don't want ambivalence
No, I don't want ambivalence no more, no
No, I don't want ambivalence
No, I don't want ambivalence no more, hey
I said I don't want ambivalence
No, I don't want ambivalence no more, no more
I said I don't want ambivalence
No, I don't want ambivalence no more, no more

Nelly Kim Furtado (born December 2, 1978) is a Portuguese-Canadian singer and songwriter. The songstress is well-known for hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “Promiscuous”.

She began her career in 1996 contributing vocals to Plains of Fascination’s “Walkin' 4 The Streets” and forming Nelstar. After leaving the group, Furtado released her debut single “Party’s Just Begun (Again)”.

Her debut album Whoa! Nelly was released in 2000 to worldwide success with hits such as “I’m Like a Bird”, “Turn Off the Light”, and “…On the Radio (Remember the Days)”. It received four Grammy nominations and one of the singles won for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. It’s sold nine-million copies worldwide to date. Folklore is Furtado’s second album released in 2003. The album was not as successful as the previous one due to change in sound. “Try” and “Powerless (Say What You Want)” were the only top-ten hits from the album.
