[Verse 1]
When you smile like a tease
Baby, you don't even know (You don't even know)
When my heart skips a beat, darling, every time you go
(Every time you go)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
When you walk into the room
I can't speak and I can't move (I can't move)
You don't see me, but you should
Why you gotta make it hurt so good?

[Chorus]
I don't ever wanna let you go
We could take it fast or make it slow
I'm the friend that you misunderstood
Every day is just a "wish I could" (I could)
Why you gotta make it hurt so good? (Hurt so good)
Why you gotta make it hurt so good?

[Verse 2]
All the girls on the block, they come knocking at your door (Knocking at your door)
You just stare out the window, what you waiting for?
(What you waiting for?)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Is it too late or too soon?
I'm right outside here wanting you (Wanting you)
You don't see me, but you should
Why you gotta make it hurt so good?

[Chorus]
I don't ever wanna let you go
We could take it fast or make it slow
I'm the friend that you misunderstood
Every day is just a "wish I could" (I could)
Why you gotta make it hurt so good? (Hurt so good)

[Bridge]
Imagine you, imagine me
Together so happily
Imagine me, imagine you
Inside a dream I built for two

[Pre-Chorus 1]
When you walk into the room
I can't speak and I can't move (I can't move)
You don't see me, but you should
Why you gotta make it hurt so good?

[Chorus]
I don't ever want to let you go
We could take it fast or make it slow (Slow)
I'm the friend that you misunderstood
Every day is just a "wish I could" (Wish I could)
Why you gotta make it hurt so good? (So good)
Why you gotta make it hurt so good?

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.
