Crush On You – The Jets

How did you know ’cause I never told
You found out, Ive got a crush on you
No more charades, my heart’s been displayed,
You found out, I’ve got a crush on you

Okay, we know where this is going. She has a crush on a guy and SOMEHOW he found out. How could that have happened? She didn’t tell anyone!

You must have heard it from my best friend
She’s always talkin’ when she should be listenin’
Can’t keep a secret to save her life
But still I trusted her with all I felt inside

Oh, wait, she totally told someone! Who? Her super chatty “best” friend who is surely going to repeat it to everyone she knows. Well, that was an easy mystery to solve.

I never knew a rumor could spread so fast
‘Cause now the word is out all over town
That I’m longing for you

Oh, we’re not done playing dumb yet.

I suspect she knew exactly how fast a rumor could spread. Otherwise, how do you explain the total lack in judgment earlier?

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

“If I never told” must be a hypothetical, because we’re already clear on the fact that she DID tell. Why would she continue to lie to us?

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

She’s either so good at playing dumb that she forgot when to stop or has total short term memory loss. The message written on her face was in the form of words tumbling out of her mouth.

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!

Of course he was self-assured. He has been informed by someone with inside knowledge that you have a crush on him specifically. It’s not like a guy is going to pass up that opportunity.
