Hey-ey
Ahhh - Ahhh
Ahh
Hey-ey
Ahhh - Ahhh
He knows
Does he know it's killing me?
He knows, he knows
D-d-does he know
Another's hand have touched my skin
I won't tell him where I've been
He knows, he knows, he knows
It's tearing me apart
She's slipping away (I'm slipping away)
Am I just hanging on to all the words she used to say
The pictures on her phone
She's not coming home (I'm not coming home)
Coming home, coming home
I know what you did last summer
(Ah-ah)
Just lie to me there's no other
(He-ey)
I know what you did last summer
Tell me where you've been
I know what you did last summer
(Ah-ah)
Look me in the eyes, my lover
(He-ey)

I didn't mean it, mean it, no
Can't seem to let you go
Can't seem to hold you close
I know
When she looks me in the eyes
They don't seem as bright
No more, no more, I know
Then she loved me at one time
Would I promise her that night
Cross my heart and hope to die
It's tearing me apart (It's tearing me apart)
And she's slipping away (I'm slipping away)
Am I just hanging on to all the words she used to say
The pictures on her phone (The pictures on my phone)
And she's not coming home (I'm not coming home)
Oh, na, na, na, yeah
I know what you did last summer
(Ah-ah)
Just lie to me, there is no other
(He-ey)
I know what you did last summer

I know
The song "I Know What You Did Last Summer" by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello is a story of a girl who is in a relationship but has cheated on her partner. She feels torn apart and guilty as the person she has cheated with intimately knows all of her secrets. She can't seem to forget him, but she also can't bear to disclose the truth to her boyfriend, which is eating her up inside. Camila's verses tell the story from the angle of the girl who betrayed her lover, whereas Shawn's section represents the lover who knows something is awry but struggles to confront his partner about it.
The song creates tension and conflict between the two main characters as Shawn and Camila harmonize a catchy pop melody about love, betrayal and trust. The song captures the complexity of a relationship where dishonesty and lack of communication have caused the rot that threatens to destroy it. It highlights the painful reality that once a lie is told or a betrayal happens, it is almost impossible to patch up the lost trust and restore the love that once existed.

I love it when you call me señorita
I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya
But every touch is ooh, la-la-la
It's true, la-la-la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you keep me coming for ya
Land in Miami
The air was hot from summer rain
Sweat dripping off me
Before I even knew her name, la-la-la
It felt like ooh, la-la-la
Yeah, no
Sapphire moonlight
We danced for hours in the sand
Tequila Sunrise
Her body fit right in my hands, la-la-la
It felt like ooh, la-la-la, yeah
I love it when you call me señorita
I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya
But every touch is ooh, la-la-la
It's true, la-la-la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you know I love it when you call me señorita
I wish it wasn't so damn hard to leave ya
But every touch is ooh, la-la-la
It's true, la-la-la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you keep me coming for ya
Locked in the hotel
There's just some things that never change
You say we're just friends
But friends don't know the way you taste, la-la-la
'Cause you know it's been a long time coming
Don't you let me fall, oh
Ooh, when your lips undress me
Hooked on your tongue
Ooh, love, your kiss is deadly
Don't stop
I love it when you call me señorita
I wish I could pretend I didn't need ya
But every touch is ooh, la-la-la
It's true, la-la-la
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you know I love it when you call me señorita
I wish it wasn't so damn hard to leave ya
But every touch is ooh, la-la-la
It's true, la-la-la (true, la-la)
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you keep me coming for ya
All along I've been coming for ya (for ya)
And I hope it meant something to ya (ooh)
Call my name, I'll be coming for ya
Coming for ya, coming for ya, coming for ya
For ya
For ya (oh, she loves it when I call)
For ya
Ooh, I should be running
Ooh, you keep me coming for ya 💕 love this song ❤️
