[Verse 1]
We were both headed different ways
Both in a rush trying to get away
I ran into you, ooh-ooh
Like a crash of thunder
Out in the rain, waiting for the bus
We started talking 'bout different stuff
And it's true, ooh-ooh
There's an eighth world wonder
And from now on

[Pre-Chorus]
You're not as lonely as you think you are
I'm trying to tell you

[Chorus 1]
Anything you want, boy, I can make it happen
We can fall in love, and I could be your sweetie
Any time of day, boy, I'll be your distraction
We can make it happen
I could be your sweetie, sweetie, yeah
You're not as lonely as you think you are
I'm trying to tell you
Anything you want, boy, I can make it happen
We can fall in love, and I could be your sweetie, sweetie, yeah

[Verse 2]
A dinner date, and a glass of wine
We stayed up late and lost track of time
When I'm with you, ooh-ooh
I feel a different hunger
You held my hand and you didn't let go
I'm gonna kiss you now
I thought you should know
And it's true, ooh-ooh
There's an eighth world wonder
And from now on

[Pre-Chorus]
You're not as lonely as you think you are
I'm trying to tell you

[Chorus 1]
Anything you want, boy, I can make it happen
We can fall in love, and I could be your sweetie
Any time of day, boy, I'll be your distraction
We can make it happen
I could be your sweetie, sweetie, yeah
You're not as lonely as you think you are
I'm trying to tell you
Anything you want, boy, I can make it happen
We can fall in love, and I could be your sweetie, sweetie, yeah

[Bridge]
Anything you want, boy
Anything you need
Anything you want, boy
Anything you need

[Chorus 2]
Anything you want, boy, I can make it happen
We can fall in love, and I could be your sweetie
Any time of day, boy, I'll be your distraction
We can make it happen
I could be your sweetie, sweetie, yeah
You're not as lonely as you think you are
I'm trying to tell you
Anything you want, boy, I can make it happen
We can fall in love, and I could be your sweetie
Any time of day, boy, I'll be your distraction
We can make it happen
I could be your sweetie, sweetie, yeah
You're not as lonely as you think you are (As lonely)
I'm trying to tell you
That all I want to do is just be here with you
And give you satisfaction, in saying sweetie, yeah

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.
