I’ve gotten to listening to lots of old music lately and I don’t really know why. Most other people look at me funny and ask me rude questions like “Really, why do you listen to this stuff?!” which would be about the same as me going up to someone and asking “What came over you?! Those socks? With those shoes? Good golly!” Granted, oldies tend to be a little less convoluted or subtle with their messages (case in point, the song I’m posting here) but what they lack in subtlety they make up for in… I’m not sure exactly. I wouldn’t listen to it strictly but I certainly don’t mind these kinds of songs that I kinda grew up with in the car. Anyway, check out “Crush On You” by Jets and the lyrics (nothing too special this time) are after the jump.

How did you know, ’cause I never told?
You found out I’ve got a crush on you.
No more charades, my heart’s been displayed.
You found out I’ve got a crush on you.
You must have heard it from my best friend.
Shes always talking when she should be listening.
Can’t keep a secret to save her life.
But still I trusted her with all I felt inside.
I never knew a rumor could spread so fast.
‘Cause now the word is out all over town
That I’m longing for you.
How did you know if i never told?
You found out I’ve got a crush on you.
No more charades, my heart’s been displayed.
You found out I’ve got a crush on you.
Maybe I was the one who left the trace.
Was there a message written on my face?
One little emotion so easily read,
That you would know my love before a word was said.
Was it my eyes that let you know you had control?
Because the way you move, it was so self-assured.
You knew I would surrender!
- Jets, Crush On You
