Moves Like Jagger
Arlene Zelina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Just shoot for the stars
If it feels right
Then aim for my heart
If you feel like
Can take me away, 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 sh*t

And it goes like this

Take me by the tongue and I'll know you
Kiss me till you're drunk and I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the mooooooves... like Jagger

I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the mooooooves... like Jagger

Maybe it's hard
And it 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

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

And it goes like this

Take me by the tongue and I'll know you
Kiss me till you're drunk and I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the mooooooves... like Jagger

I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the mooooooves... like Jagger

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

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

And it goes like this

Take me by the tongue and I'll know you
Kiss me till you're drunk and I'll show you
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the mooooooves... like Jagger

I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Jagger




I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the mooooooves... like Jagger

I like how this song is simplified by just rhthym, guitar and Arlene's voice. That's all it needs. I bought it, Arlene, and I love it so much I may use it as a warm up in my Zumba classes!
