The Maroon 5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So sick of saying yes sir, yes sir
You're such an instigator, you wanna play the game
Take it or leave it, that's her, that's her
And I can't wait another minute
I can't take the look she's giving
You're body rocking, keep me up all night
Got me so high and then she dropped me
But she got me, she got me, she got me bad
Took me inside and then she rocked me
She keep up all night, this is what it sounds like
(Oh) My lucky strike
(Oh) My lucky strike
(Oh) You're body rocking, keep me up all night
(Oh) One in a million, my lucky strike
Stuck in her elevator, she take me to the sky
And I don't wanna go down, go down
She said I'll feel you later, go ahead and fantasize
She'll make me want her right now, right now
And I can't wait another minute
I can't take the look she's giving
You're body rocking, keep me up all night
One in a million, my lucky strike
Got me so high and then she dropped me
But she got me, she got me, she got me bad
Took me inside and then she rocked me
She keep up all night, this is what it sounds like
(Oh) My lucky strike
(Oh) My lucky strike
(Oh) You're body rocking, keep me up all night
(Oh) One in a million, my lucky strike
Hey, you're taking all my pain away
You're shaking like an earthquake
Hey, you're taking all my pain away
You're shaking like an earthquake
Got me so high and then she dropped me
But she got me, she got me, she got me bad
Took me inside and then she rocked me
She keep up all night, this is what it sounds like
(Oh) My lucky strike
(Oh) My lucky strike
(Oh) You're body rocking, keep me up all night
(Oh) One in a million, my lucky strike
My lucky strike, my lucky strike
(Oh) You're body rocking, keep me up all night
(Oh) One in a million
The lyrics of Maroon 5's song Lucky Strike are all about the intense attraction and infatuation that the singer feels for a woman he has just met. He describes her as a motivator, an instigator, and a player of games, someone who keeps him up all night and has him completely bowled over. He compares her to a lucky strike - something rare and wonderful, but also something that can be fleeting and easily lost.
The chorus repeats the idea that the woman is keeping him awake all night with her body rocking, and that she is one in a million, his lucky strike. He feels as if she is taking him higher than he has ever been before, and then dropping him back down to earth, but he can't help being captivated by her. The bridge of the song emphasizes the physical and emotional impact she has on him, with the lyrics "You're taking all my pain away, you're shaking like an earthquake."
Overall, Lucky Strike is a song about the exhilaration and intensity of falling hard for someone new, even though there's a risk that it could all come crashing down at any moment. The lyrics portray the singer as completely caught up in his desire for the woman, unable to resist being pulled into her orbit.
