[Verse 1]
I had a bad dream, you were there
Like you always are
I had a bad day, I don't care
When I'm in your car

[Pre-Chorus]
So drive so fast, baby, through the night
Drive so fast, and they're never gonna find you
Drive so fast, saying no goodbyes
Drive so fast, and we'll leave it all behind you

[Chorus]
Ooh, I don't care about my lipstick
I just wanna drive you to love, love, love, love
Chasing the sun, don't wanna miss it
I just wanna drive you to love, love, love

[Verse 2]
You're laughing at me in your head
With my teasing games
Let's talk about you, you're in love
Wanna change my name

[Pre-Chorus]
So drive so fast, baby, through the night
Drive so fast, and they're never gonna find you
Drive so fast, saying no goodbyes
Drive so fast, and we'll leave it all behind you

[Chorus]
Ooh, I don't care about my lipstick
I just wanna drive you to love, love, love, love
Chasing the sun, don't wanna miss it
I just wanna drive you to love, love, love
Ooh, I don't care about my lipstick
I just wanna drive you to love, love, love, love
Chasing the sun, don't wanna miss it
I just wanna drive you to love, love, love

[Bridge]
Boy, I get a kick out of you
You know I'm yours
The things you're making me do
I never thought you'd hit me to the core
I just wanna drive you to love, love, love, love
I just wanna drive you to love, love, love

[Chorus]
Ooh, I don't care about my lipstick
I just wanna drive you to love, love, love, love
Chasing the sun, don't wanna miss it
I just wanna drive you to love, love, love
Ooh, I don't care about my lipstick
I just wanna drive you to love, love, love, love
Chasing the sun, don't wanna miss it
I just wanna drive you to love, love, love

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.
