Moves Like Jagger
Jager Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

You wanted control so we waited
I put on a show now we're naked
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 them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

Baby 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 gear
I'll take it from here oh yeah yeah 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 them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

You want to 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 '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 them moves like Jagger




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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jagger's song Moves Like Jagger are all about attraction, control, and confidence. The singer talks about how they want to be taken away and made to feel okay by their partner, and how they don't need to try to control anyone to feel good about themselves. The reference to "moves like Jagger" is a nod to the famous Rolling Stones frontman, Mick Jagger, who is known for his confidence, swagger, and dancing skills. The main message of the song seems to be that if you want to impress someone and win their affection, you need to have confidence in yourself and your abilities. The singer is clearly confident in their own "moves" and is daring their partner to keep up with them.


The opening lines of the song encourage the listener to "shoot for the stars" and follow their heart. They suggest that if you feel something strongly enough, you should go for it and not hold back. However, later in the song, the singer acknowledges that sometimes it can be difficult to feel confident and in control, especially if you're feeling "broken and scarred." They offer their partner comfort and reassurance, promising to take care of them and make them believe in themselves again. Ultimately, the song is all about power dynamics in relationships and the importance of feeling confident and in control.
