I threw a wish in the well Don't ask me, I'll never tell I looked at you as it fell And now you're in my way I trade my soul for a wish Pennies and diamonds for a kiss I wasn't looking for this But now you're in my way Your stare was holding Red - cheeked skin was showing Hot night wind was blowing Where 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 Gotcha, 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 holding, red jeans, skin was showing Hot night, wind was blowing, where 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 There is a baby, baby, baby, baby Yeah. 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 tell me maybe.
