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 goodbye. 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!

Hey, Girl! Now sit yourself down,
I’m not ashamed to get down on the ground,
Don’t go away. Hey, Girl!
Don’t go away. Hey, Girl!

The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music."
