The Morning After
Maze Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

After the morning after
After the night before
When all of the fun is over
Would you not want me no more

Oh I, I want you in the worst kind of way
I would be lying to you if I said I didn't want you to stay
I've got somebody and you've got somebody too
What would they think think about us
And what would I think about you

I know you think this is right
But what happens after tonight
Will you be there will you even care
I wannna know this right now

After the morning after, I wanna know, after the night before
What happens when all of the fun is over
Would you not want me no more no more uhh baby uhh baby

I know what you're feeling I've been there before
How will we know what we are doing
And what if we both should want more

I know it looks like it's real
But afterwards how will you feel
Will you feel bad will we both feel sad
I wanna know this right now

After the morning after after the night before
When all of the fun is over
Will you want me anymore
After the morning after after the night before
When all of the fun is over
Will you want me anymore

After the morning after
After the night before
When all of the fun is over
Will you want me anymore

After the morning after
After the morning after
After the morning after
After the morning after
After the morning after
After the morning
Will you want me anymore





After the morning after after the morning
Will you want me anymore

Finally, the chorus repeats the question of whether the other person would still want them after the morning after.


Line by Line Meaning

After the morning after
The morning after a night of fun and excitement


After the night before
After the events of the previous night


When all of the fun is over
When all the excitement and entertainment has come to an end


Would you not want me no more
Will you lose interest in me?


Oh I, I want you in the worst kind of way
I desire you greatly


I would be lying to you if I said I didn't want you to stay
I want you to stay, and it would be deceitful to say otherwise


I've got somebody and you've got somebody too
Both of us are already in relationships


What would they think think about us
How would our partners feel about what we're doing?


And what would I think about you
How would I perceive you afterwards?


I know you think this is right
You believe that what we're doing is the correct decision


But what happens after tonight
What will happen following our actions tonight


Will you be there will you even care
Will you be present and concerned about me afterwards


I wannna know this right now
I need to know this immediately


After the morning after, I wanna know, after the night before
I want to know what will happen after tonight, after this moment when we part ways


What happens when all of the fun is over
What will transpire once the excitement and entertainment ends


Would you not want me no more no more uhh baby uhh baby
Will you lose interest in me entirely


I know what you're feeling I've been there before
I empathize with your emotions, as I have experienced those feelings personally


How will we know what we are doing
How will we comprehend the situation at hand?


And what if we both should want more
What if both of us desire something greater than what we have now


I know it looks like it's real
This may appear authentic and genuine


But afterwards how will you feel
How will you feel afterwards?


Will you feel bad will we both feel sad
Will either of us regret our decision, and will we both feel sorrowful


I wanna know this right now
I need to know immediately


When all of the fun is over
Once the excitement and entertainment ends


Will you want me anymore
Will you lose interest in me?


After the morning after after the night before
Following the previous night's actions


Will you want me anymore
Will your desire for me persist?
