[Verse 1]
I'm cooking you breakfast in my underwear
You push your fingers up into my hair
Love hangover through the morning light
I'm feeling fine
I was hoping you were into this
Say that you can tell it in his kiss
You've sure been taking over all my time
But are you mine?

[Chorus]
Somebody told me
That you had a girl
Somebody told me
That you're living for her
I'm not trying to stir it up
You're innocent, aren't you, love?
Give me something to hold on to
Somebody told me
That you had a girl
So tell me they're wrong
I believe you
Just tell me they're wrong
I believe you

[Verse 2]
Hands on your chest, but it's my heart attack
Try to be strong, but then you pull me back
Into bed again, back to life just one more time
Yeah, we never really talked about it
You just pressed your fingers up to my lips
Boy, you've really gotten under my skin
Under my skin

[Chorus]
Somebody told me
That you had a girl
Somebody told me
That you're living for her
Oh, tell me they're wrong
I believe you
Tell me they're wrong
I believe you
Somebody told me
That you're living for her
Tell me they're wrong
I believe you

[Bridge]
And then I see you, I see you, I see you
And then I need you, I need you, I need you
I'm not trying to stir it up
You're innocent, aren't you, love?
Give me something to hold on to
Somebody told me
That you had a girl

[Chorus]
Somebody told me
That you had a girl
Somebody told me
That you're living for her
Oh, tell me they're wrong
I believe you
Just tell me they're wrong
I believe you

[Outro]
Somebody told me
That you had a girl

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.
