Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh
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
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
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)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger" featuring Christina Aguilera are about seduction and the smooth moves that one can possess in order to win someone's heart. The opening lines suggest that if shooting for the stars and aiming for the heart feels right, then go for it. The singer is willing to be taken away and for the other person to make everything okay because they promise to behave.


The next lines refer to the other person wanting control, which is why the singer put on a show so that they could be vulnerable and naked with each other. The ego of the singer is big, but that doesn't matter to them, and the seduction will go like Jagger's moves. The chorus repeats the phrase "I've got the moves like Jagger", implying that the singer has some slick and intriguing moves to seduce the other person. They don't need to try to control the other person; they can look into their eyes and own them with their Jagger-like moves.


The bridge mentions the difficulty of feeling broken and scarred, but the singer promises to make the other person believe that they have the key to fix that. The final verse talks about the singer's secret to making the other person smile and to take control, but it's a secret that they have to keep between them. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and the implication that the seduction will continue like Jagger’s moves.


Overall, the lyrics of "Moves Like Jagger" are about the powerful seduction of one person's Jagger-like moves and the vulnerability and willingness of the other person to be seduced by them.

Nostalgia is like drugs, it makes you feel great but afterwards you... you almost realize nothing will ever be the same as that feeling. You will never feel the happiness that you just felt. It’s a hard pill to swallow. You can try to relive the simpler times but you just keep getting older, it keeps getting harder. I’m addicted to this feeling and I’ve been trying so hard to relive it but with the stress of everything... you can’t. I’ve watched countless early 2000’s songs, it works for a little but then I just go back into extreme sadness. It gets worse every video I watch. We have to continue having making memories so when these songs die out and fade away, forgotten and lost in a sea of videos. We can surely say that we’ve had a good run.






But hey, at least we laughed, smiled, and were care free as we heard these songs on the radio in the backseat of your parents car. We didn’t know how stressful and terrible the world was, but we didn’t care. We could be who we wanted to be without responsibilities. Without the fear of growing older. Not a care in the world
But as a very intelligent bear once said,
“We didn’t realize we were making memories, we were just having fun”
-Winne The Pooh
