Maroon 5 - Moves Like Jagger Lyrics Meaning
I think my last submission could not be seen correctly cause I put the lyrics between these
><
I am sorry and I will send it again so it could be understandable.
I think the song is mostly talking about sex, here is how it goes:
Even the first line starts like this:
**Just shoot for the stars**
Which could be interpreted as an orgasm!
**If it feels right**
Which means you can have a real good sexual experience if you are feeling alright with it and you have set your mind!
**Then aim for my heart**
Talking about love and emotions, I think. Meaning: you can try to love me, again:
**if you feel like**
If you want to.
**And take me away, make it okay**
**I swear I'll behave**
And he promises to be a good boy!
**You wanted control**
**So we waited**
**I put on a show**
He will put on a show, I think it is clear enough what kind of a show he is talking about!
**Now and make it**
Now is the time to do it!
**You say I'm a kid**
**My ego is big**
You are saying that I shouldn't be doing this, but I don't care.
**I don't give a sh (Voice is seemingly removed)**
**And it goes like this**
Put what you perceive together:
Sh- silence(Voice is muted) - And it
Sh and it = S-h-i-t
Now what we have is: **S-h-i-t goes like this** ???
**Take me by the tongue**
French-kiss me.
**And I know you**
This could have two meanings:
1- As you all might know, when we say Mr.X knows Mrs. Y, it could mean that these two have sex with each other! So here, he says I will know you, meaning I will have sex with you after you take me by the tongue.
2- Knowing could have its literal meaning as well: I can recognize you because I know my love million miles away.
**Kiss me till you're drunk**
Get ready.
**And I'll show you**
Show time!
**You want the moves like jagger**
Now that you are ready and stimulated, you need the moves like jagger.
**I've got the moves like jagger**
I've got what you need.
**I've got the mo0oo0oo0oves like jagger**
I say it again, I have what you long for!
**I don't need to try to control you**
You will do it by yourself, I don't need to do anything!
**Look into my eyes and I'll own you**
You are mine now!
**With the moves like jagger**
**I've got the moves like jagger**
**I've got the mo0oo0oo0oves like jagger**
He doesn't say "moves" normally in the last line, he stretches it in a way that sounds familiar to most of us!
**Maybe it's hard**
**When you feel like you're broken and scarred**
**Nothing feels right**
**But when you're with me**
**I make you believe**
**That I've got the key**
These lines say this: You might sometimes feel all alone and depressed, but don't worry cause I know what picks you up, cause I've got the key to your heart!
**So get in the car**
literal meaning, maybe!
just get inside the car.
**We can ride it**
We all know that we don't 'ride' a car, we 'drive' it. So this idea comes to mind that maybe they 'can' ride something else! You can guess what it can be that they 'can ride'!!!
**Wherever you want**
Every where!!
**Get inside it**
This is where it gets a little rocky:
**And you want to steer**
She is steering, like she is moving from side to side!!!
**But I'm shifting gears**
He is controlling the speed by shifting the gears!!!
**I'll take it from here**
I will be controlling the things from here!
**And it goes like this**
And this is how it goes:
**Take me by the tongue**
**And I'll know you**
**Kiss me till you're drunk**
**And I'll show you**
**You want the moves like jagger**
**I've got the moves like jagger**
**I've got the mo0oo0oo0oves like jagger**
**I don't need try to control you**
**Look into my eyes and I'll own you**
**With the moves like jagger**
**I've got the moves like jagger**
**I've got the mo0oo0oo0oves like jagger**
Christina talks more clearly about what is really happening, I think because as the feminine side she is supposed to:
**You wanna know how to make me smile**
**Take control, own me just for the night**
You know what she means, don't you!
**And if I share my secret**
**You're gonna have to keep it**
**Nobody else can see this**
Nobody!
**So watch and learn**
**I won't show you twice**
**Head to toe, ooh baby, roll me right**
Rolling right! you know what she means, don't you?
**And if I share my secret**
**You're gonna have to keep it**
**Nobody else can see this, eh, eh , eh, yeaaaaah!**
**And it goes like this**
And it goes on to the end of the song like this.
This was my interpretation.
