Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh
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
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
Uh, 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
Uh, I don't need to try to control you
Uh, 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
Uh, 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 (ooh)
Uh, I don't need to try to control you (oh yeah)
Uh, look into my eyes and I'll own you
With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger (yeah)
I've got the moves like Jagger (yeah, yeah)
Uh, 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, ah
So watch and learn
I won't show you twice
Head to toe, ooh baby, rub me right, yeah
But if I share my secret
You're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this, eh, yeah yeah yeah
And it goes like this
Uh, kiss me 'til you're drunk and I'll show you (take me by the tongue)
Kiss me 'til you're drunk and I'll show you (eh, yeah)
All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger (ah, yeah)
Uh, I don't need to try to control you (yeah, ooh)
Uh, look into my eyes and I'll own you (oh-oh)
With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
The lyrics of Lady Antebellum/Maroon 5's song "Moves Like Jagger" is a flirtatious and seductive invitation from one person to another. The first stanzas suggest that if the other person feels right and is willing to follow their heart, they can take the singer anywhere. The singer promises to behave but also makes it clear that they won't let anyone control them. The chorus refers to the singer's dance moves that are like those of Mick Jagger, and they invite the listener to kiss them until they're drunk so they can show them these moves.
In the second verse, the singer tells the listener that they know how to make them smile and can take control of them for the night. However, the singer asks the listener to keep their secret because they don't want anyone else knowing about it. The bridge of the song repeats the chorus but also adds that the singer doesn't have to try to control anyone, and they can own them with their eyes and their dance moves.
Overall, the lyrics of "Moves Like Jagger" are suggestive and use Mick Jagger's dance moves as a symbol of seductiveness and control. The song is a catchy pop hit that uses playful lyrics to flirt with the listener.

I entertained you and now we are vulnerable and intimate
You say I'm a kid my ego is big
You criticize me for being young and arrogant

When you're with me, things feel better
I make you believe that I've got the key
I make you believe that I have the solution and the answers to your problems
Oh, so get in the car we can ride it
Get in the car and let's go for a drive

I'll take it from here oh yeah yeah and it goes like this
I'll handle it from now on and things will go like this
You want to know how to make me smile
You want to know how to please me and make me happy
Take control, own me just for the night
Take charge and dominate me for the night
But if I share my secret you're gonna have to keep it
If I tell you something private, you have to promise not to tell anyone else
Nobody else can see this
This is our private secret and no one else can know
So watch and learn I won't show you twice
Pay attention and learn quickly because I won't teach you again
Head to toe, ooh baby, rub me right
Touch and caress me all over, baby, in just the right way

Tell me actions speak louder
But there's something about her words, that hurt
Closing up and it's so late and
I'm the last one still waiting for ya, to lock the door
On our way home I realize
There's some kind of storm brewing in his eyes
Only veiled by a thin disguise
Now that I've done my time
I need to move on and I need you to try
'Cause we're out of goodbyes
We're out of goodbyes, out of goodbyes
Never asked you to change
But sadly, you don't feel the same, about me
I wonder does your man still shudder when you touch his hand
Like this man
On our way home I realize
There's some kind of storm brewing in his eyes
Only veiled by a thin disguise
Now that I've done my time
I need to move on and I need you to try
'Cause we're out of goodbyes (out of goodbyes)
We're out of goodbyes (out of goodbyes)
We're out of goodbyes (out of goodbyes)
Oh, ooh

Out Of Goodbyes with Lady Antebellum
Maroon 5
Tell me actions speak louder
But there's something about her words, that hurt
Closing up and it's so late and

There's some kind of storm brewing in his eyes
Only veiled by a thin disguise

I wonder does your man still shudder when you touch his hand

We're out of goodbyes, we're out of goodbyes, we're out of goodbyes
Oh, ooh
