Lyrics & Translation

Dive into the infectious, 80s-inspired synth-pop of Carly Rae Jepsen's hit "I Really Like You." This song is a masterclass in modern pop vocabulary for expressing an intense crush. Learn the language of giddy, high-stakes attraction through its relentlessly catchy chorus and simple, yet deeply relatable, declarations of 'like' and 'want.' It's the perfect song for understanding the euphoric feeling of a love that is just beginning to bloom.

[English]

I really wanna stop, but I just got the taste for it

I feel like I could fly with the boy on the moon

So, honey, hold my hand, you like making me wait for it

I feel like I could die walking up to the room, oh yeah

Late night, watching television

But how'd we get in this position?

It's way too soon, I know this isn't love

But I need to tell you something

I really, really, really, really, really, really like you

And I want you, do you want me, do you want me, too?

I really, really, really, really, really, really like you

And I want you, do you want me, do you want me, too?

Oh, did I say too much?

I'm so in my head

When we're out of touch

I really, really, really, really, really, really like you

And I want you, do you want me, do you want me, too?

It's like everything you say is a sweet revelation

All I wanna do is get into your head

Yeah, we could stay alone, you and me in this temptation

Sipping on your lips, hanging on by thread, baby

Late night watching television

But how we get in this position?

It's way too soon, I know this isn't love

But I need to tell you something

I really, really, really, really, really, really like you

And I want you, do you want me, do you want me, too?

I really, really, really, really, really, really like you

And I want you, do you want me, do you want me, too?

Oh, did I say too much?

I'm so in my head, when we're out of touch

I really really really really really really like you

And I want you, do you want me, do you want me, too?

Who gave you eyes like that?

Said you could keep them

I don't know how to act

Or if I should be leaving

I'm running out of time

Going out of my mind

I need to tell you something

Yeah, I need to tell you something, yeah!

I really, really, really, really, really, really like you

And I want you, do you want me, do you want me, too?

I really, really, really, really, really, really like you

And I want you, do you want me, do you want me, too?

Oh, did I say too much?

I'm so in my head, when we're out of touch

I really really really really really really like you

And I want you, do you want me, do you want me, too?

Yeah! (I really, really, really, really, really, really like you)

(And I want you, do you want me)

Yeah I need to tell you something (Do you want me, too?)

I really, really, really, really, really, really like you

And I want you, do you want me, do you want me, too?
