Sweetie
Carly Rae Jepsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Both in a rush, trying to get away
I ran into you
Like a crash of thunder
Out in the rain waiting for the bus
We started talking 'bout different stuff
And it's true
There's an eighth world wonder
You're not as lonely as you think you are
I'm trying to tell you
Anything you want boy
I can make it happen
We could fall in love
And I could be your sweetie
Anytime of day boy
I'll be your distraction
We can make it happen
I could be your sweetie, sweetie
You're not as lonely as you think you are
I'm trying to tell you
Anything you want boy
I can make it happen
We could fall in love
And I could be your sweetie, sweetie
A dinner date and a glass of wine
We stayed up late and lost track of time
When I'm with you
I feel a different hunger
You held my hand and you didn't let go
I'm gonna kiss you now
I thought you should know
And it's true
There's an eighth world wonder
And from now on
You're not as lonely as you think you are
I'm trying to tell you
Anything you want boy
I can make it happen
We could fall in love
And I could be your sweetie
Anytime of day boy
I'll be your distraction
We can make it happen
I could be your sweetie, sweetie
You're not as lonely as you think you are
I'm trying to tell you
Anything you want boy
I can make it happen
We could fall in love
And I could be your sweetie
Anything you want boy
Anything you need
Anything you want boy
Anything you need
Anything you want boy
I can make it happen
We could fall in love
And I could be your sweetie
Anytime of day boy
I'll be your distraction
We can make it happen
I could be your sweetie, sweetie
You're not as lonely as you think you are
I'm trying to tell you
Anything you want boy
I can make it happen
We could fall in love
And I could be your sweetie
Anytime of day boy
I'll be your distraction
We can make it happen
I could be your sweetie, sweetie
You're not as lonely as you think you are
I'm trying to tell you
That all I wanna do, is just be true to you
And give you satisfaction
Sweetie, sweetie

Lou Schwick
thats not perverted, just overtly sexual
at most, it's pervy, not perverte
theres a massive difference in meaning between the terms
perverted implies a HIGH level of social unacceptability, and last i heard, theres nothing weird about liking big butts. pervy is a lighter term referring to simply being inappropriately sexual. nothing about it is necessarily kinky or outlandish
an example: pervy is a guy getting off on porn in the doctors office while waiting for an appointment. perverted is getting off BECAUSE of the doctors appointment. the difference is while hearing about people doing pervy things make one feel morally superior, hearing about perverted things are so disgusting that they make the listener feel complicit in the act
