[Verse 1]
I wanna smash your fears
And get drunken off your tears
Don't you share your smile with anyone else but me
I wanna touch your heart
I wanna crush it in my hands
Make you plead and cry, as you give up all the lies

[Refrain]
We're not lovers, but more than friends
Put a flame to every single word you ever said
No more crying to get me through
I'll keep dancing 'til the morning with somebody new
Tonight, I'm getting over you

[Chorus]
Tonight, I'm getting over you
Tonight, I'm getting over you
Tonight, I'm getting over you
Over you, over you

[Verse 2]
Stuck in a real bad dream
And man, it feels so new to me
Should be in your arms, but I'm beggin' at your feet
It's been a real hard night, and I just hold my pillow tight
It won't love me back, no, it's not you and I

[Refrain]
We're not lovers, but more than friends
Put a flame to every single word you ever said
No more crying to get me through (Get me through)
I'll keep dancing 'til the morning with somebody new
Tonight, I'm getting over you

[Chorus]
Tonight, I'm getting over you
Tonight, I'm getting over you
Tonight, I'm getting over you
Over you, over you
Tonight, I'm getting over you
Tonight, I'm getting over you (Tonight)
Tonight, I'm getting over you
Over you, over you

[Refrain]
We're not lovers, but more than friends
(Tonight, I'm getting over you, tonight, I'm getting over you)
Put a flame to every single word you ever said
(Tonight, I'm getting over you, tonight, I'm getting over you)
No more crying to get me through
I'll keep dancing 'til the morning with somebody new
Tonight, I'm getting over you

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.
