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'd 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 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. I'm at your 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. Baby, baby, baby, baby. 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.

This song is about a person who has suddenly developed an interest in someone they just met. They are so attracted that they give their number and ask the other person to call them, expressing how they have been missing this person even before they actually met.
