[Verse 1]
Every morning as I go walking by
I feel you looking, that’s why I take my time
Oh oh, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I can see what you wanna do to me
You can feel it, something’s gonna break
Well, I’m in if you’re in
Let’s make a big mistake

[Chorus]
Talk to me
Why won’t you talk to me?
Can’t you see I’m burning up?
When you look like that and I’m looking right back
Why don’t you talk to me?
Walk with me, baby

[Verse 2]
When he’s singing his song
While all the young girls sigh
And we’ll be wearing those things
That make a grown man cry
Oh oh, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I can see what you wanna do to me
You can feel it, something’s gonna break
Well, I’m in if you’re in
Let’s make a big mistake

[Chorus]
Talk to me
Why won’t you talk to me?
Can’t you see I’m burning up?
When you look like that and I’m looking right back
Why don’t you talk to me?
Walk with me, baby

[Refrain]
Come on, take me away
I’ve been yours from the start
Summer nights, summer days
I’ll be your summer heart
Come on, take me away
I’ve been yours from the start

[Breakdown]
When it’s love like that and you look like that

[Chorus]
Talk to me
Why won’t you talk to me?
Can’t you see I’m burning up?
When you look like that and I’m looking right back
Why don’t you talk to me?
Walk with me, baby

[Refrain]
Come on, take me away
I’ve been yours from the start
Summer nights, summer days
I’ll be your summer heart
Come on, take me away
I’ve been yours from the start

[Chorus]
Talk to me
Why won’t you talk to me?
Can’t you see I’m burning up?
When you look like that and I’m looking right back
Why don’t you talk to me?
Talk to me
Why don’t you talk to me?

Carly Rae Jepsen

Carly Rae Jepsen is a Canadian singer and songwriter. Born in 1985, she first came to fame by finishing in third place on the TV show Canadian Idol. Shortly afterwards, she released her debut album, Tug Of War, including the Canadian top 40 singles “Tug Of War” and “Bucket.”

Three years later, she released the single “Call Me Maybe” and planned to follow it with what would have been her second album, Curiosity. However, after the song caught the ear of fellow Canadian, Justin Bieber, he referred her to his manager, Scooter Braun, which led to her signing an international deal with Interscope Records. Before long, it became one of 2012’s most enduring hits, racking up over a billion YouTube views and topping the charts in 21 countries, including the US and Canada. The aforementioned Curiosity album was cut down to EP length, and work continued on her eventual sophomore LP, Kiss. Released in September 2012, it also featured the Owl City collaboration “Good Time”, which reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Jepsen returned in March 2015 with “I Really Like You,” the lead single from her third studio album. The song received a more muted reception than her breakout hit–although it did reach #2 in the United Kingdom–and consequently, the album, E•MO•TION, failed to make a substantial impact chartwise. Despite this, the album drew in a new wave of fans with its more experimental and mature sound; such was the amount of praise among both the public and critics that a follow-up EP of album outtakes–E•MO• Side B–was released on the album’s first anniversary.
