To turn me on
I just need your body baby
From dusk till dawn
You don't need experience
To turn me out
You just leave it all up to me
I'm gonna show you what it's all about
You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your kiss
You got to not talk dirty, baby
If you want to impress me
You can't be to flirty, mama
I know how to undress me (Yeah)
I want to be your fantasy
Maybe you could be mine
You just leave it all up to me
We could have a good time
You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your kiss!
Women not girls rule my world
I said they rule my world
Act your age, mama (Not your shoe size)
Not your shoe size
Maybe we could do the twirl
You don't have to watch Dynasty
To have an attitude
You just leave it all up to me
My love will be your food, yeah

The Maroon 5 song Kiss is about the singer's desire for a woman and his willingness to accept her as she is. He is not looking for someone conventionally beautiful or rich, but rather someone who is open to his advances and willing to explore physical intimacy with him. He stresses that he wants to take control and show her what it's all about, but also that he wants her to be comfortable and not feel the need to talk dirty or be too flirty. He just wants her extra time and her kiss.
The chorus of the song reiterates that the singer is not looking for a specific type of person, but rather someone who is willing to give him attention and love. He also mentions that he prefers women to girls, and that he wants the woman to act her age, not her shoe size. The singer assures the woman that he wants to be her fantasy, and that they could have a good time together.
Overall, the song is about attraction and desire, but with an emphasis on mutual respect and consent. The singer wants to take control, but only with the woman's full agreement and comfort.

I kind of dig it. Very bluesy yet kind of rockabilly. Nice job. I don’t usually like covers.
Penquin402
It has a Blues Brothers vibe to it and I love it.
M Garcia
Way better than the original
Moonwalker 7
@M Garcia bruh don’t disrespect prince like that he is so much more talented then maroon 5
TM33
@Moonwalker 7 he/she doesn't even say anything that resemble disrespecting Prince at all
That person was just saying that "this version is better than the original"
There's literally a large number of cover songs that was way better than the original anyway
Music should be enjoyed without restraint
TM33
But to me personally, Prince's version was definitely better
Especially the "Rave Un2 The Year 2000" version
เหนือ ธรรมชาติ
@M Garcia couldn’t agree more!
Merdicano
I know it was his opinion back when he was alive, but this cover is pretty decent and fine for what it is, it brings a really cool circus and spectacle vibe and it works as its own thing
