[Verse 1]
I got confessions for you baby but you turned off the light
It's getting difficult to put in everything is alright
I’m getting used to being cold you should be holding me tight
I moved the pillow tucked the loniness inside of the bed
I don't know what is wrong or what is going on in your head
Between the sheets and me I wonder if it's something I said

[Pre-Chorus]
And then you reached for me here in the dark
And you placed my hand over your open heart
I think that you could hurt me baby if you wanted to
Oh, but love isn't cruel

[Chorus]
That's why we got to hold on, baby
We could belive that this love isn't crazy
This love isn’t crazy
This love isn’t crazy
You gotta stand where I stand
Gotta believe that you’re holding my hand now
This love isn’t crazy
This love isn’t crazy
This love isn’t crazy

[Verse 2]
I got this sinking feeling everytime you tell me goodnight
I wanna break the walls and break you down you give me your light
I’m getting used to being scared you know I need to survive

[Pre-Chorus]
I fell asleep I swear I saw you in my dream, dream
You didn't say too much but I understood everything
But you could hurt me baby and I could hurt you too
Oh, but love isn't cruel
(Hold on, hold on)

[Chorus]
That's why we got to hold on, baby
We could belive that this love isn't crazy
This love isn’t crazy
This love isn’t crazy
You gotta stand where I stand
Gotta believe that you’re holding my hand now
This love isn’t crazy
This love isn’t crazy
This love isn’t crazy

[Bridge]
(Hold on, hold on)

[Chorus]
Hold on, baby
We could belive that this love isn't crazy
This love isn’t crazy
This love isn’t crazy
You gotta stand where I stand
Gotta believe that you’re holding my hand now
This love isn’t crazy
This love isn’t crazy
This love isn’t crazy

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.
