For Sure
Carly Rae Jepsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Are we done talking? Do we have to?
I've been thinking, we were over
I've been thinking, got to know for sure
I've been thinking, we were over
I've been thinking, got to know for sure
I've been thinking, got to know for sure
I've been thinking, we were over
I've been thinking, got to know for sure
(Da da da da, da da da da, da da da da)
(Da da da da, da da da da, da da da da)
Got to know for sure
(Da da da da, da da da da, da da da da)
(Da da da da, da da da da, da da da da)
Now I know what you want
But it's too late (hey, hey, ah ah)
Trying to bring the color of loving
But it won't take (hey, hey, hey)
I've been thinking, we were over
I've been thinking, got to know for sure
I've been thinking, we were over
I've been thinking, got to know for sure
I've been thinking, we were over
I've been thinking, got to know for sure
I've been thinking, we were over
I've been thinking, got to know for sure
(Da da da da, da da da da, da da da da)
(Da da da da, da da da da, da da da da)
Got to know for sure
(Da da da da, da da da da, da da da da)
(Da da da da, da da da da, da da da da)
I've been thinking, we were over
I've been thinking, got to know for sure
I've been thinking, we were over
I've been thinking, got to know for sure
I was thinking we were over
(Da da da da, da da da da)
Ahh!
I was thinking we were over
(Da da da da, da da da da, da da da da)
I was thinking we were over
Ahh!
(Da da da da, da da da da)
(Hey, hey, ah ah!)
I was thinking we were over

@fa2lemuelm2
This song then Party for One as last pieces for the album makes it feel much sadder, especially since it starts with Julien which Carly says is the heart of Dedicated. I loved it
@wpbn5613
