Moves Like Jagger (feat. Maroon 5) Lyrics

Just shoot for the stars, if it feels right
Then aim for my heart, if you feel like
Can take me away, and make it okay
I swear I'll behave

You wanted control, so we waited
I put on a show, now I make it
You say I'm a kid, my ego is big
I don't give a shit
And it goes like this

Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I don't need to 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 moves like Jagger

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

Oh, so get in the car
We can ride it wherever you want
Get inside it
And you want to steer
But I'm shifting gears
I'll take it from here
Oh yeah, yeah
And it goes like this

You want to know how to make me smile
Take control, own me just for the night
But if I share my secret
You gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this

So watch and learn, I won't show you twice
Head to toe, oh baby, rub me right
But if I share my secret
You gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this
Hey, yeah yeah

And it goes like this

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is pretty much about a guy being at the club and dancing like Mick Jagger to impress a girl

A contemporary uptempo pop song by maroon 5 featuring a seductive solo by Christina Aguilera. Song is about guy and girl. The guy is laid back, easy going, but knows what he wants, and how to get there. He does a proverbial dance with the girl about control - because she appears to want it. He plays along with her desire to be in control - plays by her rules, lets her feel like she has it, even though underneath it all he is really the one in control, and both he and the girl know this. He waits patiently because he knows she will eventually acquiesce, and this is when he will step in more aggressively. So, he lets her take control and drive for a while, but then he takes over "shifts gears" and "takes it from here."

The girl's "secret" is her suppressed desire to be controlled or "owned" by the boy for the night - which would allow her to be out of control and free - thus experiencing a heightened level of sexual ecstasy that she's never known. So, she tells the guy what she likes and how she wants to be touched, possibly even restrained, then, she lets go. "Nobody else can see this" because she's embarrassed that her desires seemingly contradict the conservative way in which she lives her life.

apparently "the moves" IS about Mick Jagger's dancing. See video:"http://sexualityinart.wordpress.com/2011/09/07/the-explicit-moves-like-jagger/"
