[Intro]
Cupid, draw back your bow

[Verse 1]
New York, tell me how you feel about it
We just met, yeah, we just met
LA, ask me for the truth about it
We just met, and I wish we could be holding hands
I wish we could be holding hands

[Chorus]
How do you think it goes with those tiny little bows?
You're the one I want, you're the one I know
And everywhere you are is a place I wanna go
Dancing really high, dancing really slow
How do you think it goes with those tiny little bows?
You're the one I want, you're the one I know
And everywhere you are is a place I wanna go
Dancing really high, dancing really slow

[Verse 2]
Paris, do you ever think about us?
Watching TV in your bed
Hey London, call me if you think about it
Don't forget, I wish we could be holding hands
I wish we could be holding hands

[Chorus]
How do you think it goes with those tiny little bows?
You're the one I want, you're the one I know
And everywhere you are is a place I wanna go
Dancing really high, dancing really slow
How do you think it goes with those tiny little bows?
You're the one I want, you're the one I know
And everywhere you are is a place I wanna go
Dancing really high, dancing really slow

[Interlude]
Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go straight to a lover's heart
For me, for me

[Chorus]
How do you think it goes with those tiny little bows?
You're the one I want, you're the one I know
And everywhere you are is a place I wanna go
Dancing really high
How do you think it goes with those tiny little bows?
You're the one I want, you're the one I know
And everywhere you are is a place I wanna go
Dancing really high, dancing really slow

[Outro]
I wish we could be holding hands
Dancing really high, dancing really slow
Dancing really slow

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.
