Mr. Curiosity
½ÜÉ ÂêÒ®×ÈJason Mraz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it true what they've been saying about you
Well are you killing me
You took care of the cat already
And for those who think it's heavy
Is it the truth
Or is it only gossip
Call it mystery or anything
I sent the message on did you get it when I left it
Said well this catastrophic event
It wasn't meant to mean no harm
But to think there's nothing wrong is a problem, oh
I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
(Trying not to ask why)
This love is a mystery
Mr. Curious
Come back to me
I'm a Mr. waiting on and never patient can't you see
That I'm the same the way you left me, left me
In a hurry to spell check me
Now I'm underlined already in envy green
And pencil red
And I've forgotten what you've said
Will you stop working for the dead and return
A Mr. Curious well I need some inspiration
It's my birthday and I cannot find no cause for celebration
The scenario is grave but I'll be braver when you save me
From this situation laden with hearsay, oh
I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
(Trying not to ask why)
This love is a mystery
Mr. Curiosity
Hey Mr. please
Do come and find me, oh
Oh, come on oh, yea yea
I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
(Trying not to ask why)
Cause love is a mystery
Mr. Curiosity
Hey Mr. please
Do come and find me
Love is blinding when your timing's never right
Oh but who am I to beg for difference
Finding love in just an instant
But I don't mind
Oh love at least I tried, well I tried
The lyrics of Jason Mraz's song Mr. Curiosity portray a person's desperate need for love and a sense of belonging. The song is directed towards Mr. Curiosity, who the singer seems to be dramatically waiting for to rescue him from a state of despair. Mr. Curiosity is someone who has been talked about a lot, and there are rumors that he might be killing the singer emotionally. The singer states that Mr. Curiosity has already taken care of the cat, which signifies that maybe he has hurt someone or something else. The singer is waiting for him to come back and provide some inspiration on his birthday since he cannot celebrate it due to his desolation.
In the second stanza, the singer sings about the urgency of Mr. Curiosity coming back to him. Mr. Curiosity had left the singer, who is waiting patiently but is never patient. He is still the same as he was when Mr. Curiosity left him, and he is yearning for him to come back. However, Mr. Curiosity seems to be too busy as he hasn't responded to the singer's message. The singer asks Mr. Curiosity to stop working for the dead and come back, as he needs some inspiration to live. He is desperate, and the situation he is in is burdened with hearsay.
The chorus of the song repeatedly expresses the singer's need for love, and how he is finding it hard and crying while sounding hopeful. He wants Mr. Curiosity to find him, as love is a mystery, and he cannot seem to find it on his own. The song ends with the singer saying how love is blinding when the timing is never right, and even though he tried, he couldn't find it.

My fav Jason mraz song of all time... because i FEEL the heartache, anger, pain, and passion that he has in his heart. (not that he dosnt have passion in all his other songs) but this one is very special to me because i feel all the emotions of this song in my soul.
When I close my eyes and see flashbacks of what ive gone through, I know my curiosity needed to see deeper and I fought my way out.
These abusive people i loved, took advantage of my kindness. They ruined my life, because they knew was looking for love and they saw it as a weakness.
Even though i can't afford to go to his concert this time around i will improve my financial situation and know eventually get front row seats to his future tour.
I will get there and show my kids that with perseverance they can get what they want and my horrible abusers will regret what they did to us, dispite their lack of remorse today.
I am a strong girl and will be a bigger person in this world. I will help others who been through this too, and offer unconditional support. If you need help, please email me at..... jamieanderson0709@gmail.com
If someone has been bullying you (even as an adult), breaking you down emotionally, and/or controlling your life and who you are in contrary to the way you want to live... please feel free to contact me. I understand what your going through, and I promise that i can lead you into a direction that gets you out of your situation. I was helped by a person who posted something similar to this, and i want to pay it forward.
I was hopeless, they ruined me, my kids, and i contemplated suicide... but thank God I learned there is a huge community that helps people like us.
If you email me, i can give you the information you need.
I apologize this comment was so long but i love all you guys. hugs and kisses to ALL

I don't understand how modern day singers are so famous and always praised for their music when Jason Mraz exists. He has the most talent I have ever heard in my entire life and so many people don't even know who he is! If videos were rated for best performance/talent, this one should be the winner. Jason has been my inspiration for the past 13 years and continues to astonish me every time I hear him sing. Thank you for being an amazing person/inspiration Jason!!!
@facejjangnnaraletsplay818
Yeah, he's a warrior musicians. İ've got the best Motivator, it's him... Jason Mraz... i feel he's the best singer ever... cause ... look at the voice... full of power, confidence, angelic... good improv Jason... i'm so proud of him
@dewright729
Beautiful!
@ksmun7948
because he made music to inspires people, not for commercial only. Some singer only release song that repeat the same lyric over and over again (you know what i mean), yet it became hit songs.
@semsemsam
How was Rome?
@halalulo7557
I thought of the same thing....some singers just really want money and fame but i gotta say that there are some singers who have it all but the music they make is just full of curse words or bad phrases as if those words are okay to say. And i know that music is where you express yourself and i see A LOT of singers doing THAT but jason mraz is like expressing himself on our behalf. In other words i see his music are selfless. And plus it really has an impact to your soul. In short it’s unique, a gift from God which he uses well for others and not for himself(partly) :D
