[Verse 1]
Thinking that I need you to go now
'Cause this could really get out of hand (Oh, wow)
I’m hiding things I don't wanna show now (Oh, wow)
'Cause I don’t know if you're ready for that

[Pre-Chorus]
I was busy sleeping, sleeping with you
I thought I'd never feel this way, but I do

[Chorus]
And I don't wanna tell you
Anything about me
'Cause everything about you
Is speeding up my heartbeat
And I don't wanna tell you
You're better off without me, ah, ah
'Cause everything about you
Is speeding up my, speeding up my
Speeding up my, speeding up my
Heartbeat, heartbeat
Heartbeat, heart

[Verse 2]
Everything’s a little bit clearer
How my body feels in your hands
It makes me want to get a little bit nearer
Yeah, but I don’t know if you're ready for that

[Pre-Chorus]
I was busy sleeping, sleeping with you
I thought I’d never feel this way, but I do

[Chorus]
And I don't wanna tell you (I don't wanna tell you)
Anything about me (Anything about me)
'Cause everything about you (’Cause everything about you)
Is speeding up my heartbeat
And I don't wanna tell you (I don't wanna tell you)
You're better off without me, ah, ah
'Cause everything about you ('Cause everything about you)
Is speeding up my, speeding up my
Speeding up my, speeding up my
Heartbeat, heartbeat
Heartbeat, heart

[Bridge]
I don't know if you should hear this
'Cause it's a mess inside my head
Maybe you should go instead (You should go)
I'm suddenly scared of my feelings
This might be all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted to happen to me
To me, to me
You've been like a light
Like a light

[Chorus]
And I don't wanna tell you (I don't wanna tell you)
Anything about me (Anything about me)
'Cause everything about you ('Cause everything about you)
Is speeding up my heartbeat
And I don't wanna tell you (I don't wanna tell you)
You're better off without me, ah, ah
'Cause everything about you
Is speeding up my, speeding up my
Speeding up my, speeding up my
Heartbeat (Heartbeat), heartbeat (Speeding)
Heartbeat, heart

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.
