“Call Me Maybe”

By Carly Rae Jepsen

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

Your stare was holding
Ripped jeans, skin was showing
Hot night, wind was blowing
Where you think you’re going baby

Chorus
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
But here’s my number
So call me maybe
And all the other boys
Try to chase me
But here’s my number
So call me maybe

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 and borrow and steal
Have foresight and it’s real
I didn’t know I would feel it
But it’s in my way

Your stare was holding
Ripped jeans, skin was showing
Hot night, wind was blowing
Where you think you’re going baby

(Chorus)

Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
I missed you so, so bad

(Chorus)
