Call Me Maybe
Carly Rae JepsenI threw a in the
Don't me, I'll never tell
I looked to you as it
And now you're in my way
I'd my soul for a wish
Pennies and for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this
But now you're in my way
Your was holdin'
Ripped jeans, was showin'
Hot night, was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number
So call me, maybe?
It's hard to look right
At you baby
But here's my number
So call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number
So call me, maybe?
And all the other boys
Try to me
But here's my number
So call me, maybe?
You took your time with the
I took no time with the
You gave me at all
But still, you're in my way
I beg, and and steal
At first sight and it's
I didn't know I would it
But it's in my way
Your stare was holdin'
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number
So call me, maybe?
It's hard to look right
At you baby
But here's my number
So call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number
So call me, maybe?
And all the other boys
Try to chase me
But here's my number
So call me, maybe?
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
I missed you so, so bad
It's hard to look right
At you baby
But here's my number
So call me, maybe?
Hey, I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number
So call me, maybe?
And all the other boys
Try to chase me
But here's my number
So call me, maybe?
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad
I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life
I missed you so bad
And you should know that
So call me, maybe?
"I generally just play eyes at a guy and hope he comes and approaches me, but in this particular instance I was thinking this is how I would do it."
"I’m not overly confident in love. I’d probably be more coy about it, I guess, just like, ‘call me, maybe? If you want to?'"
So there it is: the message isn't so much flirtatious, but a sign of a lack of confidence; a hesitance as defense mechanism.
