Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Every time I think of you
The DJ hit me right there (right there)
Said he loved me right there (right there)
Shouted, "Shake it" (shake it)
Come sit with me, right there (right there)
Maybe kiss me, right there (right there)
I'm not faking
A good time with you, that's what I want tonight
Why, just show your devotion
Let yourself to the motions
I hate going out, but you just got the promotion
You go to this club
You sing along to look social
To your favorite song
You just make me wanna say, "Hey, it's me" (hey, it's me)
We've been talking twice a week (we've been talking twice a week)
I like this beat (I like this beat)
It just makes me wanna sing (it just makes me wanna sing, turn it up)
"Hey, it's me" (hey, it's me)
We've been talking twice a week (we've been talking twice a week)
I like this beat (I like this beat)
It just makes me wanna sing (it just makes me wanna sing)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Oh, Maria
Maria (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Every time I think of you) Oh, Maria
I won't tell them I met you in the club (club, club, club)
You remember our favorite song was playing
And every word that came out your mouth was wrong
Oh, Maria, Maria
Tell me why you're always here at night? (Turn it up)
It seems to me it's the only time I see ya
When I thought I found purpose in my life
You're not here
You just make me wanna say, "Hey, it's me" (hey, it's me)
We've been talking twice a week (we've been talking twice a week)
I like this beat (I like this beat)
It just makes me wanna sing (it just makes me wanna sing, turn it up)
"Hey, it's me" (hey, it's me)
We've been talking twice a week (we've been talking twice a week)
I like this beat (I like this beat)
It just makes me wanna sing (it just makes me wanna sing)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Oh, Maria
Maria (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Every time I think of you) Maria
Oh, Maria, Maria
