[Verse 1]
I was never one to want to
Put my trust in someone else completely
And I was always one to want to up and run
When someone said they needed me

[Pre-Chorus]
But you...
You could be the one
Yeah, you could be the one

[Chorus]
Baby, let's go get lost
I like that you're driving slow
Keeping my fingers crossed
That maybe you'll take the long way home
Let's get lost
I don't wanna let you go
Keeping my fingers crossed
That maybe you'll take the long way home
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Baby, let's take the long way home

[Verse 2]
I was always shy and careful
Always sure that you would never look at me
Never wanted to discourage
Everything your eyes encouraged silently

[Pre-Chorus]
But you...
You could be the one
Yeah, you could be the one

[Chorus]
Oh baby, let's go get lost
I like that you're driving slow
Keeping my fingers crossed
That maybe you'll take the long way home
Let's get lost
I don't wanna let you go
Keeping my fingers crossed
That maybe you'll take the long way home
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Baby, let's take the long way home
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Baby, let's take the long way home

[Bridge]
Let's get lost (Let's get lost)
You wanna get lost? (You wanna get lost?)
Let's get lost (Let's get lost)
I wanna get lost

[Chorus]
Oh baby, let's go get lost
I like that you're driving slow
Keeping my fingers crossed
That maybe you'll take the long way home
Let's get lost
I don't wanna let you go
Keeping my fingers crossed (Oh)
That maybe you'll take the long way home
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Baby, let's take the long way home
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Baby, let's take the long way home

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.
