Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe Lyrics
I threw a wish in the well
Don't ask me, I'll NEVER tell
I looked to you as it fell
And now you're in my way
I'd trade my soul for a wish
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this
But now you're in my way
[Pre-Hook]
Your stare was holding
Ripped jeans, skin was showing
Hot night, wind was blowing
Where you think you're going, baby?
[Hook]
Hey, I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number, so call me maybe
It's hard to look right at you baby
All the other boys try to chase me
So here's my number, call me maybe
[Verse 2]
You took your time with the call
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all
But still you're in my way!
I beg, borrow, and steal
At first sight and it's real
I didn't know I would feel it
But it's in my way
[Pre-Hook]
Your stare was holding, ripped jeans
Skin was showing
Hot night, wind was blowing
Where you think you're going baby?
[Hook]
[Bridge]
Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad
I wish you know that I missed you so so bad
[Hook]
Just when we thought the internet had finally shattered the idea of the all-consuming Song of the Summer into a million little niches, along comes this: A perky 26-year-old Canadian Idol cast-off masquerading as a moon-eyed teenager managed to get everybody from the U.S. Olympic Swim Team to Colin Powell to Cookie Monster singing along to her mating call.
Call Me Maybe is weirdly old-fashioned; for one thing, she’s asking the guy to actually pick up his phone and call her. (Then again, Text Me Maybe doesn’t have quite the same ring…) And in the context of the monolithic Euroclub stomp of so many other 2012 mega hits, this song’s zinging strings, dinky disco beats, and honest-to-goodness bridge sound almost quaint. It’s enough to remind you of a time long ago, when everyone wasn’t famous for 15,000 views.
