JUEVES - LYRICS ("Call me maybe")

- Call me maybe – Carly Rae Jepsen

I threw a wish in the well,

don't ask me, I'll never tell

I looked to you as it fell,

and now you're in my way.

I'd trade my soul for a wish,

pennies and dimes for a kiss.

I wasn't looking for this,

but now you're in my way.

Your stare was holdin',

ripped jeans, skin was showin'.

Hot night, wind was blowin'.

Where do you think you're going, baby?

Hey, I just met you,

and this is crazy,

but here's my number,

so call me, maybe!

It's hard to look right

at you baby,

but here's my number,

so call me, maybe!

Hey, I just met you,

and this is crazy,

but here's my number,

so call me, maybe!

And all the other boys,

try to chase me,

but here's my number,

so call me, maybe!

You took your time with the call,

I took no time with the fall.

You gave me nothing at all,

but still, you're in my way.

I beg, and borrow and steal

at first sight and it's real.

I didn't know I would feel it,

but it's in my way.

Your stare was holdin',

ripped jeans, skin was showin'.

Hot night, wind was blowin'.

Where do you think you're going, baby?

Hey, I just met you,

and this is crazy,

but here's my number,

so call me, maybe!

It's hard to look right

at you baby,

but here's my number,

so call me, maybe!

Hey, I just met you,

and this is crazy,

but here's my number,

so call me, maybe!

And all the other boys,

try to chase me,

but here's my number,

so call me, maybe!

Before you came into my life

I missed you so bad,

I missed you so bad,

I missed you so, so bad.

Before you came into my life

I missed you so bad,

and you should know that.

I missed you so, so bad (bad, bad).

It's hard to look right

at you baby,

but here's my number,

so call me, maybe!

Hey, I just met you,

and this is crazy,

but here's my number,

so call me, maybe!

And all the other boys,

try to chase me,

but here's my number,

so call me, maybe!

Before you came into my life

I missed you so bad,

I missed you so bad,

I missed you so, so bad.

Before you came into my life

I missed you so bad,

and you should know that.

So call me, maybe!

- Notas: La canción se las trae, es tan ñoña (“cheesy”) que uno corre el riesgo de acabar con un subidón de azúcar si la escucha más de dos veces seguidas. El tema está claro, la cantante siente un flechazo (“took no time with the fall“) (o calentón) por un tío de pantalones vaqueros rotos con el que se ha cruzado y le da el número de teléfono a ver si hay suerte y le llama.

Pare ella se trata de una apuesta personal que compara con tirar una moneda al pozo y pedir un deseo (“I threw a wish in the well“) y prácticamente vende su alma al diablo para que se cumpla su deseo (“I'd trade my soul for a wish“)

Por supuesto que él debe de sentirse especial porque miles de hombres iban detrás de ella como moscones (“And all the other boys, try to chase me”) pero ella ya está colgada perdida por él.

- 1. “…you're in my way…” = La expresión “to be in someone’s way” se usaría para indicar que alguien se está metiendo en medio o entrometiendo donde no le llaman, pero sirve también, como en este caso, para indicar el que “alguien le ha puesto ahí en su vida”.
- 2. “…pennies and dimes …” = Los “pennies” son las monedas de un centavo de dólar, y los “dimes” son monedas de diez centavos de dólar.
