Kim about ‘Hey! You!’
Come out and play” is a line in this song, but also the backbone for the entire album and hence the title of the album. I wanted, namely, that each and every song works live or on the stage. (1)
Live performances
‘Hey! You!’ was performed live during the Come Out and Play Tour in 2011 only.

Lyrics
It’s Friday night, what can I do
The week is done, I need some fun
My friends are boring through and through
I think I’ll come and pester you
I’m gonna wait on the corner of the street for ya
But I won’t be responsible for the things that I do
When I’m with you, hey I said
Hey! You! Come out and play
Make those boys go away
Let me lead you astray
Hey! You! Come out and play
Don’t be so scared, don’t try to hide
I see you watching from inside
Open the door and come to me
There’s something I want you to see
I’m gonna wait on the corner of the street for ya
But I won’t be responsible for the things that I do
When I’m with you, hey I said
Hey! You! Come out and play …
Hey! You! Come out and play …
You want it, you need it
Your hunger let me feed it
I want it, I need it
Come and play, come and play with me
Hey! – Hey! – Hey! – Hey!
Hey! You! Come out and play …
Hey! You! Come out and play
