Maroon 5 - V Album Lyrics

[Verse 1: Big Sean]
I'm sipping champagne 'til we throw it up
I drinked enough for both of us
You talking way, way too fast for me now
So pour up everything to slow it all up
I talked about this "finally famous" lifestyle way back, baby when we was growing up
Made a few plays now everything that we talked about showing up, and I could chauffeur up
But I still get lost on the map to your heart
So far gone let's take it back to the start
To the part where we carved our name in the bark
Preserved all the feelings like it came in the jar
I guess like ain't no picnic basket
You put four years and came out a bachelor
This time around has does me and you sound
Cause honestly to me it sounds mixed and mastered
Right?

[Bridge: Maroon 5]
I miss the taste of a sweeter life
I miss the conversation
I'm searching for a song tonight
I'm changing all of the stations
I like to think that we had it all
We drew a map to a better place
But on that road I took a fall
Oh baby why did you run away?

[Pre-Hook: Maroon 5]
I was there for you
In your darkest times
I was there for you
In your darkest night

[Hook: Maroon 5]
But I wonder, where were you?
When I was at my worst
Down on my knees
And you said you had my back
So I wonder, where were you?
All the roads you took came back to me
So I'm following the map that leads to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following to you
The map that leads to you
Ain't nothing I can do
The map that leads to you
Following, following, following

[Verse 2: Maroon 5]
I hear your voice in my sleep at night
Hard to resist temptation
Cause something strange has come over me
Now I can't get over you
No, I just can't get over you

[Pre-Hook]

[Pre-Hook x2]

[Hook]

Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
Hunt you down, eat you alive
Just like animals
Animals
Like animals-mals

Maybe you think that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles
Just like animals
Animals
Like animals-mals
Baby I'm

So what you trying to do to me?
It's like we can't stop, we're enemies
But we get along when I'm inside you, ayy
You're like a drug that's killing me
I cut you out entirely
But I get so high when I'm inside you

Yeah, you can start over, you can run free
You can find other fish in the sea
You can pretend it's meant to be
But you can't stay away from me
I can still hear you making that sound
Taking me down rolling on the ground
You can pretend that it was me
But no, oh

Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
Hunt you down, eat you alive
Just like animals
Animals
Like animals-mals

Maybe you think that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles
Just like animals
Animals
Like animals-mals
Baby, I'm

So if I run it's not enough
You're still in my head forever stuck
So you can do what you wanna do, ayy
I love your lies I'll eat 'em up
But don't deny the animal
That comes alive when I'm inside you

Yeah, you can start over you can run free
You can find other fish in the sea
You can pretend it's meant to be
But you can't stay away from me
I can still hear you making that sound
Taking me down rolling on the ground
You can pretend that it was me
But no, oh

Baby, I'm preying on you tonight
Hunt you down, eat you alive
Just like animals
Animals
Like animals-mals

Maybe you think that you can hide
I can smell your scent for miles
Just like animals
Animals
Like animals-mals
Baby, I'm

Don't tell no lie, lie, lie, lie
You can't deny-ny-ny-ny
That beast inside-side-side-side
Yeah, yeah, yeah

No girl, don't lie, lie, lie, lie (no girl don't lie)
You can't deny, ny-ny-ny (you can't deny)
That beast inside-side-side-side
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yo, oh
Whoa, oh-oh
Whoa, oh-oh
Just like animals
Animals

You can't deny-ny-ny-ny (you can't deny)
That beast inside-side-side-side
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Woke up sweating from a dream
With a different kind of feeling
All day long my heart was beating
Searching for the meaning

Hazel eyes,
I was so color blind
We were just wasting time
uh uh yeah
For my whole life
We never crossed the line
Only friends in my mind
But now I realize,

It was always you
Can't believe I could not see it all this time, all this time
It was always you
Now I know why my heart wasn't satisfied, satisfied
It was always you, you
No more guessing who
Looking back now I know it was always you, always you

All my hidden desires
Finally came alive
No, I never told lies
To you so why would I
Start tonight

Hazel eyes,
I was so color blind
We were just wasting time
uh uh yeah
For my whole life
We never crossed the line
Only friends in my mind
But now I realize,

It was always you
Can't believe I could not see it all this time, all this time
It was always you
Now I know why my heart wasn't satisfied, satisfied
It was always you, you
No more guessing who
Looking back now I know it was always you, always you

(Aah, yeah, you, you, you, always you, you, you)
(Aah, yeah, you, you, you, always you, you, you)

Woke up sweating from a dream
With a different kind of feeling

It was always you
Even if I could not see it all this time, all this time
It was always you
Now I know why my heart wasn't satisfied, satisfied
It was always you, you
No more guessing who
Looking back now I know it was always you, always you

It was always you

If you respect me
Don't protect me
You can tell me,
I can handle it
Stop pretending 'cause we're going down

If you let go
Then just let go
It's disrespectful
How you've handled this
Never ending, kinda run around

I lied to my heart 'cause I thought you felt it
You can't light a fire, if the candle's melted
No, you don't have to love me if you don't wanna
Don't act like I mean nothing
But if you're gonna, well, then you better

Unkiss me,
Untouch me
Untake this heart
And I'm missing
Just one thing
A brand new start

Can't erase this,
Can't delete this,
I don't need this,
I can't handle it
I just feel it that you're over us

If I wait here,
If I see you
It won't matter,
What's the point of this?
We're in pieces because you're over us

I lied to my heart 'cause I thought you felt it
You can't light a fire, if the candle's melted
No, you don't have to love me if you don't wanna
Don't act like I mean nothing
But if you're gonna, well, then you better

Unkiss me,
Untouch me
Untake this heart
And I'm missing
Just one thing
A brand new start
So unkiss me
So unkiss me

So, baby, let go
Gotta let go
It's disrespectful
I can handle this
Never ending, kinda run around

Unkiss me,
Untouch me
Untake this heart
And I'm missing
Just one thing
A brand new start
So unkiss me
So unkiss me
Unkiss me

Maroon 5
Let's go

[Nicki Minaj:]
Yo, I got them Now & Laters, and them Jolly Ranchers, too
It ain't a question, but I got the answers, too
These shoes is Cavalli, and the pants is too
When I see him I'mma strip like the dancers do
I'mma show them how to do it like the pamphlets do
Show these girls how to do it off campus, too
Yo, as long as you know he got the baddest, I'm flattered
I'm the only one that he answers to
And if you need it then I'mma put it on ya
Ain't nothin' sweeter, you want this sugar, don't ya?
Up, down, inside, water park it, slip slide
Would'a, could'a, should'a got ya sugar, get ya sugar

[Chorus:]
Your sugar, yes, please
Would you come and put it down on me?
I'm right here, 'cause I need
Little love, a little sympathy
Yeah, you show me good loving,
Make it alright
Need a little sweetness in my life
Your sugar, yes, please
Would you come and put it down on me?

Babe, my broken pieces,
You pick them up
Don't leave me hanging, hanging,
Come give me some
When I'm without you,
I'm so insecure
You are the one thing, one thing
I'm living for

I don't wanna be needing your love
I just wanna be deep in your love
And it's killing me when you're away, oh, baby
'Cause I really don't care where you are
I just wanna be there where you are
And I gotta get one little taste

[Chorus]

I want that red velvet
I want that sugar sweet
Don't let nobody touch it unless that somebody's me
I gotta be your man, there ain't no other way
'Cause, girl, you're hotter than a Southern California day
I don't wanna play no games,
You don't gotta be afraid
Don't give me all that shy shit
No make-up on, that's my sugar

[Chorus 2x]

You got in so late
It's Sunday morning
Said that you were leaving
Letting go of us
Where did we go wrong? Oh
And now you say you're leaving California
Gotta head back East and want to leave tonight
Pack your things and go
But if you run away,
I won't be alright

Even if the sun crashes into us
I won't let go, I won't let go
And I can be your light
Stay with me tonight
I won't let go, I won't let go
Yeah

Pick up all the pieces
Fight to hold on
Put them back together, do it all for love
Never let it go
Oh, yeah
Cause I don't need a reason
Just to hold ya
One more of your teasing
Lock you in the eyes
Baby please don't go
Oh, yeah
But if you run away,
I won't be alright

Even if the sun crashes into us
I won't let go, I won't let go
And I can be your light
Stay with me tonight
I won't let go, I won't let go
Yeah

Now you say you're leaving California

Woke up sweating from a dream

You're the only drug I wanna do yeah
I can tell that you're needing my love
And all I want is to give it to you, ooh
Don't give up on the moment tonight
You'll regret it the rest of your life

But if I ever let you down

Forgive me, forgive me, now
Would it kill you to forgive me now?

Won't go until you've forgiven me, forgiven me
Till you forgiven me, forgiven me, forgiven me

But if I ever let you down

And now's the last time you'll say "No", say "No" to me

It won't take me long to find another lover but I want you

'Cause we're losing grip now
It's about to go down
Would you let me talk to you?
You gotta let me know
'Cause I'm on the edge now
Of a nervous breakdown
'Cause I can't get through to you

I got my hands up screaming
Got my hands up screaming
Don't shoot love, baby
Don't shoot love
Don't shoot love, baby
Don't shoot
When you get that feeling
When you get that feeling
Don't shoot love, baby
Don't shoot love
Don't shoot love, baby
Don't shoot

You never let me go
Got me chained to your touch
Like a slave for your love
I'm ashamed to say it's true
Afraid to let you go
'Cause without you I'm lost
And no matter the cost
I'm standing next to you

I got my hands up screaming
Got my hands up screaming
Don't shoot love, baby
Don't shoot love
Don't shoot love, baby
Don't shoot
When you get that feeling
When you get that feeling
Don't shoot love, baby
Don't shoot love
Don't shoot love, baby
Don't shoot

My back's against the wall tonight
So go ahead pull the trigger
Shoot the lights out
So go ahead pull the trigger
Shoot the lights off
I see the fear that's in your eyes
So go ahead pull the trigger
Shoot the lights off
Go ahead pull the trigger
Shoot

I got my hands up screaming
Got my hands up screaming
Don't shoot love, baby
Don't shoot love
Don't shoot love, baby
Don't shoot
When you get that feeling
When you get that feeling
Don't shoot love, baby
Don't shoot love
Don't shoot love, baby
Don't shoot

Hanging 'round downtown by myself
And I've had so much time to sit and think about myself
And there she was like double cherry pie
Yeah, there she was like disco superfly

I smell sex and candy here
Who's that loungin' in my chair?
Who's that castin' devious stares in my direction?
Mama, this surely is a dream, yeah
Say, mama, this surely is a dream, yeah, woah, yeah

Hangin' 'round downtown by myself
And I've had too much caffeine and I was thinkin' 'bout myself
And there she was wearing that platform double suede
Yeah, there she was like disco lemonade

And I smell sex and candy here
Who's that loungin' in my chair?
Who's that castin' devious stares in my direction?
Mama, this surely is a dream, yeah
Say, mama, this surely is a dream, yeah
Ooh, yeah

And I smell sex and candy here
Who's that loungin' in my chair?
Who's that castin' devious stares in my direction?
Mama, this surely is a dream, yeah
Say, mama, this surely is a dream, dig it
This surely is a dream, yeah
Say, mama, this must be my dream, oh hmm

Ooh, yeah
Hm, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, ooh, woah
Yeah, hm hm hm hm, ooh woah, hm

Please don't see
Just a boy caught up in dreams and fantasies
Please see me
Reaching out for someone I can't see

Take my hand, let's see where we wake up tomorrow
Best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand
I'll be damned, Cupid's demanding back his arrow
So let's get drunk on our tears

And God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?

Who are we?
Just a speck of dust within the galaxy?
Woe is me
If we're not careful turns into reality

But don't you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow
Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer
Turn the page, maybe we'll find a brand new ending
Where we're dancing in our tears

And God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?

And I thought I saw you out there crying
And I thought I heard you call my name
And I thought I heard you out there crying
Just the same

And God, give us the reason youth is wasted on the young
It's hunting season and this lamb is on the run
Searching for meaning
But are we all lost stars trying to light ... light up the dark?

And I thought I saw you out there crying
And I thought I heard you call my name
And I thought I heard you out there crying
But are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?
Are we all lost stars trying to light up the dark?
