[Verse 1]
Truth is I never thought of us together
You're just a friend of mine
We should know better, this can't last forever
But kiss me one more time

[Pre-Chorus]
Romance is fine
Pour me some wine
Tell me it's just for the fun of it
Thoughts in your eyes
Hard to deny, but
I don't want love, don't want none of it

[Chorus]
If you want to, you can stay the night
I don't want to be the one, the one
If you want to, you can hold me tight
I don't want to be the one, the one

[Post-Chorus]
It's too much pressure
It's too much pressure
It's too much pressure
I don't want to be the one, the one

[Verse 2]
While cookin' dinner, I'd wear your socks and slippers
It's been a long, long day
It's just so easy
Love the way you read me
I never have to say

[Pre-Chorus]
Romance is fine
Pour me some wine
Tell me it's just for the fun of it
Thoughts in your eyes
Hard to deny but
I don't want love, don't want none of it

[Chorus]
If you want to, you can stay the night
I don't want to be the one, the one
If you want to, you can hold me tight
I don't want to be the one, the one

[Post-Chorus]
It's too much pressure
It's too much pressure
It's too much pressure
I don't want to be the one, the one

[Bridge]
Don't fall in love, fall in love, fall in love, fall in love
Don't fall in love, fall in love, fall in love, fall in love
Don't fall in love, fall in love, fall in love, fall in love
Don't fall in love, fall in love, fall in love, fall in love

[Chorus]
If you want to, you can stay the night
I don't want to be the one, the one
If you want to, you can hold me tight
I don't want to be the one, the one

[Post-Chorus]
It's too much pressure
It's too much pressure
It's too much pressure
I don't want to be the one, the one

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.
