"Makes Me Wonder" reached #1 in May 2007 (for a total of 3 non consecutive weeks) and was a major chart success in Canada (#1), UK (#2), Australia (#6) and other major territories.
According to comments by singer Adam Levine, the lyrics to the track can be read on two levels - the first about a bitter relationship break up; the second about feelings of disillusionment with the state of US politics.
A censored "clean" version changed the lyric: "And it really makes me wonder If I ever gave a f**k about you" to "And it really makes me wonder if I ever gave a thought about you".
Maroon 5 would receive their third Grammy award for "Makes Me Wonder" in the category of "Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal" in 2008.
Make Me Wonder
Maroon 5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Struggled to memorize
The way it felt between your thighs
Pleasure that made you cry
Feels so good to be bad
Not worth the aftermath, after that
After that
Try to get you back
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you
Give me something to believe in
'Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to try
Yeah, so this is goodbye
God damn, my spinning head
Decisions that made my bed
Now I must lay in it
And deal with things I left unsaid
I want to dive into you
Forget what you're going through
I get behind; make your move
Forget about the truth
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you
Give me something to believe in
'Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference
It even makes a difference to try (yeah)
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true
Anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye
I've been here before
One day I'll wake up
And it won't hurt anymore
You caught me in a lie
I have no alibi
The words you say don't have a meaning
'Cause...
I still don't have the reason
And you don't have the time
And it really makes me wonder
If I ever gave a fuck about you and I...
And so this is goodbye
Give me something to believe in
'Cause I don't believe in you
Anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference
It even makes a difference to try
And you told me how you're feeling
But I don't believe it's true
Anymore, anymore
I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry
(Oh no)
So this is goodbye
So this is goodbye, yeah
So this is goodbye, yeah
So this is goodbye, yeah

I wake up, with blood-shot eyes
I woke up with my eyes red and irritated from crying all night
Struggled to memorize
I had a hard time remembering what it was like being intimate with you
The way it felt between your thighs
I can hardly remember the pleasure that was passionately experienced with you
Pleasure that made you cry
The intense pleasure we felt was so incredible that it brought tears to your eyes
Feels so good to be bad
Acting recklessly can be exciting and gratifying
Not worth the aftermath, after that
The aftermath of my actions wasn't worth the excitement it brought
Try to get you back
I'm trying to win you back
I still don't have the reason
I still don't know why we broke up
And you don't have the time
You're too busy to talk about what went wrong
And it really makes me wonder
Our situation is causing me to ponder a lot
If I ever gave a fuck about you
I'm questioning if I really cared about you and our relationship
Give me something to believe in
I need a reason to still hope for our love
'Cause I don't believe in you
I've lost my faith in you and our relationship
Anymore, anymore
I no longer believe that we can be together
I wonder if it even makes a difference to try
I'm uncertain if it's even worth trying to fix our relationship
Yeah, so this is goodbye
I'm saying farewell to us
God damn, my spinning head
I'm feeling dizzy with the confusion and uncertainty of our relationship
Decisions that made my bed
The choices I made have led me to this point
Now I must lay in it
I have to deal with the consequences of my actions
And deal with things I left unsaid
I need to confront the thoughts and emotions that I was afraid to express
I want to dive into you
I want to immerse myself in you and forget my problems
Forget what you're going through
I want to forget about your problems and focus on our relationship
I get behind; make your move
I'm following your lead, waiting for you to take the next step
Forget about the truth
I want to ignore the reality of our situation
And you told me how you're feeling
You tried to explain your emotions to me
But I don't believe it's true
I'm having a hard time believing what you're saying
So this is goodbye
Our relationship is ending

@@2Future4U We admire their "beauty" of the rich and famous. Are they truly beautiful? as they seem to have:
- hoofs for the legs
- bald heads
- animal faced /birds, dogs, wolves , you name it)
- tails
- horns
(Channels which share knowledge about this topic:

But they "look" human?. Sure they do. They must hide, of we would kill them as we would then know, who they are (offspring of Cain = the cursed bloodline)
But they "look" human?. - it is just an illusion.
What`s underneath the illusion? - didn`t you already get a picture?
Ever noticed that every singer has at least 1 dark song?
Could it be, they sharing their experience after signing the blood contract?
M J – has “thriller”
K P – has “wide awake”

I wish they could return to Kara's Flowers that would be dope. Ditch all of the clean pop style to a more alternative grunge persona

@@dougxvale in last live their talks were saying like upcoming album will be good.... Like Adam said his dream writing team has quited and returned and this felt like they will be writing their new songs... Then James said that upcoming album is his favourite, he won't say that unless it has many guitar riffs.... James like songs with more guitar riffs like the sun
