[Verse 1]
On the road for half the year
And I can't remember loneliness
And it feels like that says something about you
Or something 'bout me
Performance and the after party
And it took a little time I guess
But I found that I'm not thinking about you
Or thinking 'bout it

[Pre-Chorus]
Then we pack up, it's time to go
We'll do the whole damn thing tomorrow
In a new city, so pretty, let's go
Driving all night to make that show
I'll be a whole new girl tomorrow
It's a new city, so pretty, eyes closed

[Chorus]
We partied in the street last night
Got a little deep last night
In our feelings, yeah
And I got a little me last night
I danced in the street last night
With the boys in the band
Just me and the boys in the band

[Verse 2]
Now and then a memory sparks
Like violins still break my heart
And I feel that says something about you
Or something about me
One day we will meet as friends
But I am not good at pretending
You were so good at pretending

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey, but now I pack up, it's time to go
We'll do the whole damn thing tomorrow
In a new city, so pretty, let's go
Driving all night to make that show
I'll be a whole new girl tomorrow
In a new city, so pretty, eyes closed

[Chorus]
We partied in the street last night
Got a little deep last night
In our feelings, yeah
And I got a little me last night
I danced in the street last night
With the boys in the band
Just me and the boys in the band (hey!)

[Post-Chorus]
So just take me to the stage
It's been home from the start
Summer nights, summer days
I've got the summer heart!
So just take me to the stage
It's been lit from the start
I need the summer heart
Just me and the boys in the band (hey!)

[Bridge]
(Hey!)
(Hey!)
Just me and the boys in the band (hey!)
Just me and the boys in the band

[Chorus]
We partied in the street last night
Got a little deep last night
In our feelings, yeah (hey!)
And I got a little me last night
I danced in the street last night
With the boys in the band (With the boys in the band)
Just me and the boys in the band (hey!)

[Post-Chorus]
So just take me to the stage
It's been home from the start (hey!)
Summer nights, summer days (Just me and the boys)
I've got the summer heart (hey!)
So just take me to the stage
It's been lit from the start
Just me and the boys in the band (hey!)

[Outro]
On the road for half the year
And Real Love's just a song I guess
And it feels like that says something about you
Or something about me

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.
