  • Oh, now
    Oh

    Just shoot for the stars, if it feels right
    And aim for my heart if you feel like
    And take me away and make it okay
    I swear, I'll behave
    You wanted control, so we waited
    I put on a show, now we're naked
    You say 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
    Uh, kiss me 'til you're drunk and I'll show you
    All the moves like Jagger
    I've got the moves like Jagger
    I've got the moves like Jagger

    Uh, I don't need to try to control you
    Uh, 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 Ja-

    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 gear
    I'll take it from here
    Oh, yeah-yeah, and it goes like this

    Take me by the tongue and I'll know you
    Uh, kiss me 'til you're drunk and I'll show you
    All the moves like Jagger
    I've got the moves like Jagger
    I've got the moves like Jagger (ooh)

    Uh, I don't need to try to control you (oh, yeah)
    Look into my eyes and I'll own you
    With them moves like Jagger
    I've got the moves like Jagger (yeah)
    I've got the moves like Jagger (yeah, yeah)

    Uh, you want to know how to make me smile?
    Take control, own me just for the night
    But if I share my secret
    You're gonna have to keep it
    Nobody else can see this, ah
    So watch and learn
    I won't show you twice
    Head to toe, ooh, baby, rub me right, yeah
    But if I share my secret
    You're gonna have to keep it
    Nobody else can see this, ay-ay-ay-yeah

    And it goes like this
    Uh, take me by the tongue and I'll know you (take me by the tongue)
    Uh, kiss me 'til you're drunk and I'll show you (yeah, yeah)
    All the moves like Jagger
    I've got the moves like Jagger
    I've got the moves like Jagger (ah, yeah)

    Uh, I don't need to try to control you (yeah, ooh)
    Uh, look into my eyes and I'll own you (oh-oh)
    With them moves like Jagger
    I've got the moves like Jagger
    I've got the moves like Jagger Writer/s: Adam Levine, Ammar Malik, Benjamin Joseph Levin, Johan Karl Schuster

  • Mitchell from Liverpool, UkThis song holds a record as the biggest selling UK single not to top the charts, stalling at #2. It had previously been the second biggest selling non-chart topper, behind Wham!’s “Last Christmas”. However, when that 1984 festive staple finally reached the coveted top spot on New Year’s Day 2021, “Moves Like Jagger” became the new record holder.
  • Ian from Buffalo Please note that I am definitely not a fan of Adolf Hitler; I just thought this was interesting. Not advocating that nonsense.
  • Ian from Buffalo Don't know if Adam Levine is a David Bowie fan or not, but if so this could be interesting: In a 1974 Playboy interview, Bowie stated "Adolf Hitler was one of the first rock stars. Look at some of the films and see how he moved; I think he was quite as good as Jagger."

    Probably has nothing to do with the song, but I read that line and immediately this song jumped into my head.
  • Eric from Newell, SdThis is a very groovy and dance-alicious song! :P I wonder if someone would have the idea to cover this as "Moves Like Jackson"? :P As in MJ>
  • Megan from Stevenson, AlWords just can't describe how much I love this song! It's crazy! Just makes me want to dance...and I'm SOOO not a dancer! lol I truely DO NOT like Christina Aguilera, but somehow it works great...idk. LOVE IT!!!
