Carly Rae Jepsen’s This Love Isn’t Crazy is an underrated pop gem that wasn’t even released as the official single off her latest album, Dedicated Side B–that went to the infectious but just not as catchy Let’s Be Friends–which was released just last month.
For the record, This Love Isn’t Crazy is pure pop gold. From Carly’s opening “Ooh! Ooh ooh ooh!” to that irresistible chorus, this song is pure pop perfection. Most people who know Carly for her biggest hits Call Me Maybe, Good Time, and I Really Like You will find This Love Isn’t Crazy will tick all the boxes and then some.
What a brilliant song. What a shame that radio is sleeping on Carly. I’ll just drown my sorrows in another few hundred spins of This Love Isn’t Crazy.
THIS LOVE ISN’T CRAZY Lyrics
Carly Rae Jepsen
For some time
I’ve been waiting for your star to shine
So bright
I should say that it’s your right to hurt me baby
If you wanted to
Oh but love isn’t cruel
And for some time
I’ve been singing you a lullaby
Each night whispering that
It’s your right to hurt me baby
If you wanted to
Oh but love isn’t cruel
That’s why we got to hold on baby
We could believe that
This love isn’t crazy
This loving could save me
This love isn’t crazy
You gotta stand where (stand where) I stand
Who could believe that you’re holding my hand now
This loving could save me
This love isn’t crazy
For some time I’ve been pillow talking in my head
My heart’s vulnerable but in my bed I want you baby
And all you put me through
Oh but love isn’t cruel
The other night I swear I saw you in my dream (dream)
We didn’t say too much but I understood everything
That you could hurt me baby and I could hurt you too
Oh but love isn’t cruel
That’s why we got to hold on baby
We could believe that this love isn’t crazy
This loving could save me
This love isn’t crazy
You gotta stand where (stand where) I stand
And through the seasons I’m holding your hand now
This loving could save me
This love isn’t crazy
I want you back
And I feel it bad
(I know it and I feel it yah this love it isn’t crazy)
Every day, want you more, we were so insecure
Every day, learning more, we were so immature
I want you back
And I feel it bad
(I know it and I feel it yah this love it isn’t crazy)
Every day, want you more, we were so insecure
Every day, learning more, we were so immature
We got to hold on baby
We could believe that
This love isn’t crazy
This loving could save me
This love isn’t crazy
You gotta stand where (stand where) I stand
Who could believe that you’re holding my hand now
This loving could save me
This love isn’t crazy
