Carly Rae Jepsen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Be tormented by me babe
Wonder, wonder how I do
How's the weather, am I better?
Better now that there's no you?
Drink tequila for me babe
Let it hit you cool and hot
Let your feelings be revealing
That you can't forget me

Not a flower on the wall
I am growing ten feet, ten feet tall
In your head and I won't stop
Until you forget me, get me not

In your fantasy, dream about me
And all that we could do with this emotion
Fantasy, dream about me
And all that we could do with this emotion
This emotion, I feel it
This emotion, you feel it
All that we could do with this emotion

Paint a picture for me, boy
Where the sky's forever blue
Tell me there is nothing I can't have and nothing you won't do
Toss and turn without me, boy
Let it hit you cold and hot
All my kisses, say you'll miss it
And you can forget me

Not a flower on the wall
I am growing ten feet, ten feet tall
In your head and I won't stop
Until you forget me, get me not

In your fantasy, dream about me
And all that we could do with this emotion
Fantasy, dream about me
And all that we could do with this emotion
This emotion, I feel it
This emotion, you feel it
All that we could do with this emotion

What if I turn the lights right down?
I feel it
What if I turn the lights right down?
You feel it
You and me in the dark right now
I feel it

In your fantasy, dream about me
And all that we could do with this emotion
Fantasy, dream about me
And all that we could do with this emotion
This emotion, I feel it (what if I turn the lights right down?)




This emotion, you feel it
All that we could do with this emotion

Overall Meaning

In this song, Carly Rae Jepsen taunts an ex-lover who can't seem to forget her. She urges him to drink tequila and let his feelings be revealed, but also invites him to live in his fantasy where he can dream about her and all that they could do with their emotions. She challenges him to forget her, singing, "Not a flower on the wall, I am growing ten feet, ten feet tall, in your head and I won't stop until you forget me, get me not."


The chorus is a plea for the ex-lover to dream with her, and to indulge in their shared emotions. She tells him, "In your fantasy, dream about me, and all that we could do with this emotion. This emotion, I feel it, this emotion, you feel it, all that we could do with this emotion." Carly uses the idea of shared emotions to entice her ex-lover, suggesting that their feelings for each other could lead to an exciting and passionate future if only he was willing to forget their past.


Line by Line Meaning

Be tormented by me babe
I want you to suffer because of me


Wonder, wonder how I do
Do you think about me as much as I think about you?


How's the weather, am I better?
Are you doing worse now that we're apart?


Better now that there's no you?
I'm doing better now that you're out of my life


Drink tequila for me babe
Drink tequila and think about me


Let it hit you cool and hot
Let the tequila make you feel both cool and hot


Let your feelings be revealing
Allow yourself to be open and honest about how you feel


That you can't forget me
Acknowledge that you can't forget about me


Not a flower on the wall
I won't just blend in, I'll stand out to you


I am growing ten feet, ten feet tall
In your mind, I'm becoming larger and more significant


In your head and I won't stop
I'll continue to occupy your thoughts


Until you forget me, get me not
I'll stay on your mind until you can't remember me anymore


In your fantasy, dream about me
Imagine me in your dreams and fantasies


And all that we could do with this emotion
Think about all the possibilities that could come from our emotions


This emotion, I feel it
I feel this strong emotion towards you


This emotion, you feel it
You're feeling the same emotion towards me


Paint a picture for me, boy
Tell me what I want to hear, make me a pretty picture


Where the sky's forever blue
Where everything is perfect and happy


Tell me there is nothing I can't have and nothing you won't do
Promise me anything I want and that you'll do anything for me


Toss and turn without me, boy
I want you to have trouble sleeping without me


All my kisses, say you'll miss it
Promise me that you'll miss my affection


And you can forget me
But even if you try to forget me, I'll still be on your mind


What if I turn the lights right down?
What if we get intimate?


You and me in the dark right now
Imagining a possibly intimate scenario


All that we could do with this emotion
Imagining all the possibilities that could come from our strong emotions
