♪♫ Maroon 5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To turn me on
I just need your body baby
From dusk till dawn
You don't need experience
To turn me out
You just leave it all up to me
I'm gonna show you what it's all about
You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your kiss
You got to not talk dirty, baby
If you want to impress me
You can't be to flirty, mama
I know how to undress me (Yeah)
I want to be your fantasy
Maybe you could be mine
You just leave it all up to me
We could have a good time
You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your kiss!
Women not girls rule my world
I said they rule my world
Act your age, mama (Not your shoe size)
Not your shoe size
Maybe we could do the twirl
You don't have to watch Dynasty
To have an attitude
You just leave it all up to me
My love will be your food, yeah
You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your kiss!

The chorus then emphasizes that anyone can be his girl as long as they give him their "extra time and [their] kiss."
The second verse continues to break down stereotypes and expectations by stating that the singer doesn't care about a woman's social status or coolness, nor does he have any specific zodiac sign requirements. He just wants their kiss and extra time. The bridge continues his theme of rejecting societal expectations by suggesting that a woman should act her age and not her shoe size, but also that she doesn't need to watch a certain TV show to have an "attitude."
