Call Me Maybe
Carly Rae Jepsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
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
Hey, I just met you and this is crazy
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
At first sight 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 showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
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
Hey, I just met you and this is crazy
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
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
I missed you so, so bad
It's hard to look right at you, baby
But here's my number, so call me maybe
Hey, I just met you and this is crazy
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
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
So call me maybe

I threw a wish in the well
I made a wish in a hole in the ground
Don't ask me I'll never tell
I won't tell you what I wished for
I looked at you as it fell
I saw you when I made the wish
And now you're in my way
Now you're blocking my path
I'd trade my soul for a wish
I'd give up the most important part of myself for this wish
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
I'm willing to pay anything to kiss you
I wasn't looking for this
I didn't expect to feel this way
But now you're in my way
But now you're in my thoughts constantly
Your stare was holding
You were looking at me intensely
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Your clothes were torn and your skin was visible
Hot night, wind was blowin'
It was warm out and the wind was blowing
Where you think you're going baby?
Where do you think you're headed?
Hey, I just met you and this is crazy
I just met you and this situation is crazy
But here's my number, so call me maybe
Here's my phone number, maybe you'll call me
It's hard to look right at you baby
It's difficult for me to look at you directly
Before you came into my life
Before I met you
I missed you so bad
I longed for you so much
And you should know that
I want you to be aware of how much I missed you
I beg and borrow and steal
I'll do whatever it takes to be with you
At first sight and it's real
I fell for you immediately and it's genuine
I didn't know I would feel it
I didn't expect to have these feelings
But it's in my way
But now these feelings are holding me back
And all the other boys try to chase me
Other guys are interested in me
