Moves Like Jagger
The Gym All-Stars Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh!
Just shoot for the stars
If it feels right
Then aim for my heart
If you feel like
And take me away
Make it okay
I swear I'll behave

You wanted control
So we waited
I put on a show
Now I make it
You said 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
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

Maybe it's hard
When you feel like
You're broken and scarred
Nothing feels right
But when you're with me
I'll 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 gears
I'll take it from here

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
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 wanna know
How to make me smile
Take control
Own me just for the night
And 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
Oooh 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
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
