[Verse 1]
Hold on now
This is getting kinda serious
This is getting kinda out of control
Out of control
Slow down now
Breathing heavy, when it's just a kiss
This is getting kinda out of my hands
Out of my hands

[Pre-Chorus]
Please don't go, look real close
Eyes that show kaleidoscopes

[Chorus]
When I'm close to you
We blend into my favourite colour
I'm bright baby blue falling into you
Falling for each other
When I'm close to you
We blend into my favourite colour
I'm bright baby blue falling into you
Falling for each other

[Verse 2]
Should I stay?
Making love until the morning light
Making out like it's the end of the world
And I really wanna get it right
But it's getting hard to slow down now
Got me feeling like it's real for sure
This is getting kinda out of my head
I'm out of my head
'Cause

[Chorus]
When I'm close to you
We blend into my favourite colour
I'm bright baby blue falling into you
Falling for each other
When I'm close to you
We blend into my favourite colour
I'm bright baby blue falling into you
Falling for each other

[Bridge]
Paint me up, me up, me up
You're my favourite colour
Paint me up, me up, me up
You're my favourite colour
Paint me up, me up, me up
You're my favourite colour
Paint me up, me up, me up

[Pre-Chorus]
Please don't go, look real close
(Paint me up, me up, me up)
Eyes that show kaleidoscopes
(Paint me up, me up, me up)

[Chorus]
When I'm close to you
We blend into my favourite colour
I'm bright baby blue falling into you (Into you)
Falling for each other
When I'm close to you (Baby)
We blend into my favourite colour (You're my favorite color)
I'm bright baby blue falling into you
Falling for each other

[Outro]
Paint me up, me up, me up
You're my favourite colour
Paint me up, me up, me up
You're my favourite colour
(Oh) Paint me up, me up, me up
(Wake me up, wake me up, baby)
You're my favourite colour
Paint me up, me up, me up
You're my favourite colour

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.
