“I Really Like You”
By Carly Rae Jepsen
I really wanna stop
But I just got a taste for it
I feel like I could fly
With the ball on the moon
So honey hold my hand
You like making me wait for it
I feel I could die walking up to the room
Oh yeah
Late night watching television
But how we get in this position
It's way too soon, I know this isn't love
But I need to tell you something
Chorus
I really, really, really, really
Really, really like you
And I want you
Do you want me
Do you want me, too
Oh, did I say too much
I’m so in my head
When we're out of touch
I really, really, really, really
Really, really like you
And I want you
Do you want me
Do you want me too
It's like everything you say
Is a sweet revelation
All I wanna do is get into your head
Yeah we could stay alone
You and me and this temptation
Sipping on your lips
Hanging on by a thread, baby
Late night watching television
But how we get in this position
It's way too soon
I know this isn't love
But I need to tell you something
(Chorus)
Who gave you eyes like that
Said you could keep them
I don't know how to act
Or if I should be leaving
I’m running out of time
Going out of my mind
I need to tell you something
(Chorus)
