Intro

Can't you just stay home tonight

You were actually out yesterday!

But mom, I want to see him!

He's not good for you

But don't you understand? I like him

Verse 1

My mom says

Stay home tonight

You were actually out yesterday

My dad says

That mom's always right

But there's something they don't understand

Prechorus 1

I'm sitting in my room

And I'm dreaming away

When Tommy whistles outside

He says: 'Hey, come out to me'

'Even though you're a girl, you're totally okay.'

Chorus 1

Tommy likes me

And I know it's true

There's nobody else

Who makes me feel the same way

Tommy likes me

And even though he's nonchalant

He's the one I like

And he feels the same way

It's true

Verse 2

At school they talk

About Tommy every break

Every single one wants to be his girl

There's something that

Nobody in my class knows

That Tommy's given his photo to me

Prechorus 2

I'm sitting at my desk

And I'm dreaming away

When Tommy whistles outside

He says: 'Hey, come out to me'

'Even though you're a girl, you're totally okay'

Chorus 2

Tommy likes me

And I know it's true

There's nobody else

Who makes me feel the same way

Tommy likes me

And even though he's nonchalant

He's the one I like

And he feels the same way

It's true

Bridge

Everything I've heard about love

Was a secret

I'm not a grown-up but I know

Chorus 3

Tommy likes me

And I know it's true

There's nobody else

Who makes me feel the same way

Tommy likes me

And even though he's nonchalant

He's the one I like

And he feels the same way

Outro

Tommy likes me

And I know it's true

There's nobody else

Who makes me feel the same way

Tommy likes me

And I know it's true, tr-u-ue

plugget — school (slang)

Plugget is a colloquial, informal term for "school" in Swedish, similar to how one might say "uni" for university or "school" in a casual context in English.

In the song, it appears in the line "I plugget så pratar de om Tommy varje rast" (At school, they talk about Tommy every break). This word immediately places the listener in the youthful, everyday world of the song's protagonist, offering a glimpse into authentic, informal Swedish language used by teenagers.

Get ready for a blast from the past with this super catchy 80s pop hit from Swedish superstar Carola! "Tommy Tycker Om Mig" (which means "Tommy Likes Me") tells a story every teenager knows well: having a crush your parents just don't approve of. The singer's mom and dad want her to stay home, thinking the boy she likes, Tommy, is bad news. But she's head over heels and can't be convinced.

This song perfectly captures the feeling of a first love. While her parents worry, she daydreams about Tommy, the popular boy at school who all the other girls have a crush on. But she has a secret—Tommy gave her his photo! She knows his feelings are real, even if he acts a little cool and casual (nonchalant). It's a sweet and energetic song about young love, secrets, and that amazing feeling when you know your crush likes you back.
