Jennifer Paige – Crush

This was a major success back in the 90s and for good reason. The instrumental, while fairly typical for that period, has plenty of detail and variety. The lyrics are fun, but it’s the way they’re sung that really carries this song. I’d do without the “shalalala” though :).

”I see ya blowin’ me a kiss
It doesn’t take a scientist
To understand what’s going on, baby
If you see something in my eye
Let’s not over analyze
Don’t go too deep with it, baby (baby)
So let it be what it’ll be
Don’t make a fuss and get crazy over you and me
Here’s what I’ll do
I’ll play loose
Not like we have a date with destiny
It’s just a little crush (crush)
Not like I faint every time we touch
It’s just some little thing (crush)
Not like everything I do depends on you”
