[Verse 1]
Break a bone
Got me on my knees
You break my heart just to watch it bleed
I’m sick with love
Sick, like a disease
Don’t call me up just so I can please you
I can’t stand the way you’re smiling
I can’t stand the way I’m lying

[Chorus]
I know, I know, I know you got the key
And you know, you know, you know that it’s for me
It’s not up to you, you know it’s up to me, but...
Curiosity will never let me go
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Uh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Will never let me go
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Uh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]
Look at me
Left here in the corner
Stupid girl, I really tried to warn her
Walked the streets all night until you came around
Knew that you would come before you ever even made a sound

[Chorus]
I know, I know, I know you got the key
And you know, you know, you know that it’s for me
It’s not up to you, you know it’s up to me, but...
Curiosity will never let me go
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Uh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Will never let me go
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Uh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Curiosity

[Bridge]
So don’t break me tonight
This is crazy love
And you know I’m gonna follow you home
Through the rain
'Cause I need your love
And you know I’m gonna follow you home
'Cause I need your love and you know I’m gonna follow you

[Partial Chorus]
I know, I know, I know you got the key
You know, you know, you know that it’s for me
Well, I think that we should try it out to see, yeah
Curiosity...

[Bridge]
So don’t break me tonight, this is crazy love
And you know I’m gonna follow you home
Through the rain
'Cause I need your love, yes, I need your love
So don’t break (Don't break) me tonight (Me tonight), this is crazy love
And you know I’m gonna follow you home
Through the rain
Cause I need your love, yes, I need your love

[Outro]
Will never let me go
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Uh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Will never let me go
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Uh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Curiosity will never let me go
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Uh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

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.
