[Verse 1]
And I know what it feels like
To be alone on a cold night
No one you can hold tight (Hold tight, ah, ah, ah)
And I'm not trying to play it down
But it's all gonna turn around
And I swear it'll be alright (Alright, ah, ah, ah)

[Pre-Chorus]
You let go, she moved on
A thousand stories before
You felt it, then lost it
You're lonely, your heart aches
But get yourself off the floor
I can't stand to see you crying

[Chorus]
So what you're not in love?
Don't go wasting your nights getting so low
So what you're not in love?
You shine bright by yourself dancing solo

[Verse 2]
It looks nice from the outside
When they all got the perfect guy
Hold on for the long ride (Long ride, ah, ah, ah)
But your fears got it all wrong
That he's right and there's something wrong
'Cause I swear, you'll be alright (Alright, ah, ah, ah)

[Pre-Chorus]
You let go, she moved on
A thousand stories before
You felt it, then lost it
You're lonely, your heart aches
But get yourself off the floor
I can't stand to see you crying

[Chorus]
So what you're not in love?
Don't go wasting your nights getting so low
So what you're not in love?
You shine bright by yourself dancing solo

[Pre-Chorus]
You let go, she moved on
A thousand stories before
You felt it, then lost it
You're lonely, your heart aches
But get yourself off the floor
I can't stand to see you crying

[Chorus]
So what you're not in love?
Don't go wasting your nights getting so low
So what you're not in love?
You shine bright by yourself dancing solo

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.
