Moves Like Jagger Lyrics

Uhh
Take me by the tongue and i'll know you
Kiss me till you're drunk and i'll show you
Got them moves like jagger
I got the moves like jagger
I got the moooooooooves like jagger
I don't need to try to control you
look in to my eyes and...

    I think my last submission could not be seen correctly cause I put the lyrics between these
    ><
    I am sorry and I will send it again so it could be understandable.


    I think the song is mostly talking about sex, here is how it goes:

    Even the first line starts like this:
    **Just shoot for the stars**
    Which could be interpreted as an orgasm!

    **If it feels right**
    Which means you can have a real good sexual experience if you are feeling alright with it and you have set your mind!

    **Then aim for my heart**
    Talking about love and emotions, I think. Meaning: you can try to love me, again:

    **if you feel like**
    If you want to.

    **And take me away, make it okay**
    **I swear I'll behave**
    And he promises to be a good boy!

    **You wanted control**
    **So we waited**
    **I put on a show**
    He will put on a show, I think it is clear enough what kind of a show he is talking about!

    **Now and make it**
    Now is the time to do it!

    **You say I'm a kid**
    **My ego is big**
    You are saying that I shouldn't be doing this, but I don't care.

    **I don't give a sh (Voice is seemingly removed)**
    **And it goes like this**
    Put what you perceive together:
    Sh- silence(Voice is muted) - And it
    Sh and it = S-h-i-t
    Now what we have is: **S-h-i-t goes like this** ???

    **Take me by the tongue**
    French-kiss me.

    **And I know you**
    This could have two meanings:

    1- As you all might know, when we say Mr.X knows Mrs. Y, it could mean that these two have sex with each other! So here, he says I will know you, meaning I will have sex with you after you take me by the tongue.

    2- Knowing could have its literal meaning as well: I can recognize you because I know my love million miles away.

    **Kiss me till you're drunk**
    Get ready.

    **And I'll show you**
    Show time!

    **You want the moves like jagger**
    Now that you are ready and stimulated, you need the moves like jagger.

    **I've got the moves like jagger**
    I've got what you need.

    **I've got the mo0oo0oo0oves like jagger**
    I say it again, I have what you long for!


    **I don't need to try to control you**
    You will do it by yourself, I don't need to do anything!

    **Look into my eyes and I'll own you**
    You are mine now!

    **With the moves like jagger**
    **I've got the moves like jagger**
    **I've got the mo0oo0oo0oves like jagger**
    He doesn't say "moves" normally in the last line, he stretches it in a way that sounds familiar to most of us!

    **Maybe it's hard**
    **When you feel like you're broken and scarred**
    **Nothing feels right**
    **But when you're with me**
    **I make you believe**
    **That I've got the key**
    These lines say this: You might sometimes feel all alone and depressed, but don't worry cause I know what picks you up, cause I've got the key to your heart!


    **So get in the car**
    literal meaning, maybe!
    just get inside the car.

    **We can ride it**
    We all know that we don't 'ride' a car, we 'drive' it. So this idea comes to mind that maybe they 'can' ride something else! You can guess what it can be that they 'can ride'!!!

    **Wherever you want**
    Every where!!

    **Get inside it**
    This is where it gets a little rocky:

    **And you want to steer**
    She is steering, like she is moving from side to side!!!

    **But I'm shifting gears**
    He is controlling the speed by shifting the gears!!!

    **I'll take it from here**
    I will be controlling the things from here!

    **And it goes like this**
    And this is how it goes:

    **Take me by the tongue**
    **And I'll know you**
    **Kiss me till you're drunk**
    **And I'll show you**

    **You want the moves like jagger**
    **I've got the moves like jagger**
    **I've got the mo0oo0oo0oves like jagger**

    **I don't need try to control you**
    **Look into my eyes and I'll own you**

    **With the moves like jagger**
    **I've got the moves like jagger**
    **I've got the mo0oo0oo0oves like jagger**



    Christina talks more clearly about what is really happening, I think because as the feminine side she is supposed to:

    **You wanna know how to make me smile**
    **Take control, own me just for the night**
    You know what she means, don't you!

    **And if I share my secret**
    **You're gonna have to keep it**
    **Nobody else can see this**
    Nobody!

    **So watch and learn**
    **I won't show you twice**
    **Head to toe, ooh baby, roll me right**
    Rolling right! you know what she means, don't you?

    **And if I share my secret**
    **You're gonna have to keep it**
    **Nobody else can see this, eh, eh , eh, yeaaaaah!**

    **And it goes like this**
    And it goes on to the end of the song like this.

    This was my interpretation.

    Mick Jagger (the guy they sing about)has been famous for his big lips. Kissing is his move. Look a the lines:
    'Take me by the tounge and i know you'll,
    kiss me till your drunk and ill show you,
    all the moves like jagger, i got the moves like jagger.'

    Now think like this:

    Kiss me and its logical, ('Take me by the tounge and i know you'll)

    Keep kissing me till you cant and youll see. (kiss me till your drunk and ill show you)

    All The moves i got from jagger. (all the moves like jagger, i got the moves like jagger.)

    Its not particulary about sex. But its got enough sexual references to be sexual.

    He's younger (u say I'm a kid), she's older but been burned in love (broken and scarred) she's going to teach him (but if I share my secrets, show you twice) but he's says once they kiss and he seduces her he'll show her moves like Jagger, who was famous for being with good in bed (with many women) prob relating to her generation, so basically don't under estimate me because I'm younger. That's my take.

    Quite obvious, is it not? What woman that Adam Levine happens to be hitting on wouldn't be impressed by a flailing, hyperactive guy who's pushing 70?

    I consider the song and video a great homage to a cultural icon and works of art in their own right. A lot of people imitate the way he dances. In a lot of ways he is quite a character. I remember
    Gilda Radnor dressed up like a punk rocker and singing "Gimmee Mick." It was really cute. Btw, his lips are just as famous as his tongue.

    I think most of the posts get the interpretation. Jagger may not be good looking, but he has "bagged more than his share of babes." :)

    His tongue is is trademark, his overt sexuality.

    The interpretation/comment that cracked me up was the guy that said the song was nothing more than about another young, shallow man.

    Jagger would crack up to have been called a peer of the young singers of today. He is as old as the hills and rolling in greenbacks!

    Sorry, but this song hasn't got a deep interpretation. It's just regular mainstream crap that's about sex and girls. Just listen to the lyrics and you'll understand what he wants to say, because most musicians of today are too lazy to come up with a good reason to write songs or a good theme to write about and most listeners are too lazy to listen closely to what the singer is saying.

    This song is about a guy with a small penis who wants to please the girl orally. He feels he has to impress the girl by telling her he has moves like Jagger. That's exactly what the song is about. It's about seducing the girl and making her feel good before she sees his penis. The guy feels he has to have moves like Jagger (oral) in order to make the sex good. The last lines in lyrics refer to his "secret". What other secret would there be?

    A friend of mine who I'll probably never see again until next year...
    His name is Jagger... I never really knew him. But I got to know him just enough.

    I was going to get this on my iPod, but when I listened to the lyrics closely, I realized it was totally for a "tween@ to be listening to. Sure, it has an awesome tune, but not a very good meaning.
