I Really Like You
Carly Rae Jepsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel like I could fly with the boy on the moon
So honey hold my hand, you like making me wait for it
I feel like I could die walking up to the room, oh yeah
Late night watching television
But how'd we get in this position
It's way too soon, I know this isn't love
I really really really really really really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too?
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 outta touch (outta 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'd we get in this position
It's way too soon, I know this isn't love (no)
But I need to tell you something
I really really really really really really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too?
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 outta touch (when we're outta touch)
I really really really really really really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too?
Who gave you eyes like that, said you could keep them?
I dunno how to act or if I should be leavin'
I'm running outta time, going outta my mind
I need to tell you something, yeah I need to tell you something
Yeah
I really really really really really really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too?
I really really really really really really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too?
Oh I did say too much? (did I say too much?)
I'm so in my head (I'm so in my head)
When we're outta touch (when we're outta touch)
I really really really really really really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me, too?
(Yeah) I really really really really really really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too? (yeah I need to tell you something)
I really really really really really really like you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too?
The lyrics of Carly Rae Jepsen's song "I Really Like You" are about the feeling of being infatuated with someone and wanting them to reciprocate your feelings. The simile in the first verse compares the feeling of being infatuated with the high one gets from drugs, indicating that the attraction is addictive and hard to resist. The line "So honey hold my hand, you like making me wait for it" refers to the idea of playing hard-to-get; the person she is attracted to is making her wait for a sign that they feel the same way. The chorus repeats the titular phrase "I really really really really really really like you" to emphasize the strength of her feelings.
The bridge of the song introduces some uncertainty and doubt: "Who gave you eyes like that, said you could keep them? I dunno how to act or if I should be leavin'." Though she feels strongly about this person, there is a sense of confusion about the situation and how to proceed. The song ends with another repetition of the chorus, stressing the fact that she wants to know if the feeling is mutual or not. Overall, "I Really Like You" is a catchy and upbeat pop song about the excitement and anxiety of falling for someone.
Line by Line Meaning
I really wanna stop but I just got the taste for it
I know I shouldn't continue, but I can't resist the temptation
I feel like I could fly with the boy on the moon
When I'm with you, I feel like anything is possible
So honey hold my hand, you like making me wait for it
I crave physical affection from you, even if you like to tease me first
I feel like I could die walking up to the room, oh yeah
I'm so nervous and excited to be with you that it feels like life and death
Late night watching television
We're spending time together in a casual setting
But how'd we get in this position
I don't know how we ended up in this situation, but I like it
It's way too soon, I know this isn't love
I'm aware that we're moving too fast and this isn't love yet
But I need to tell you something
I have to express my feelings to you
I really really really really really really like you
I have strong feelings of attraction towards you
And I want you, do you want me, do you want me too?
I'm hoping that you feel the same way about me
Oh did I say too much?
I'm worried that I've been too forward
I'm so in my head
I'm overthinking everything
When we're outta touch (outta touch)
When we're not together or communicating, I miss you
It's like everything you say is a sweet revelation
I find everything you say to be charming and wonderful
All I wanna do is get into your head
I want to understand you better and know everything about you
Yeah we could stay alone, you and me and this temptation
We could resist temptation together in a private setting
Sipping on your lips, hanging on by a thread, baby
Kissing you is thrilling and I'm barely holding on
Who gave you eyes like that, said you could keep them?
I'm intrigued by your unique and captivating eyes
I dunno how to act or if I should be leavin'
I'm unsure how to behave around you or when to leave
I'm running outta time, going outta my mind
I feel like I'm on a deadline and going crazy with desire for you
Yeah I need to tell you something
I have to share my feelings with you before it's too late
