Girls Like You Lyrics
Spent 24 hours, I need more hours with you
You spent the weekend getting even, ooh
We spent the late nights making things right between us
But now it's all good, babe
Roll that back wood, babe
And play me close
'Cause girls like you run 'round with guys like me
'Til sun down when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Girls like you love fun, and yeah, me too
What I want when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you
I spent last night on the last flight to you
Took a whole day up tryna get way up, ooh
We spent the daylight tryna make things right between us
But now it's all good, babe
Roll that back wood, babe
And play me close
'Cause girls like you run 'round with guys like me
'Til sun down when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Girls like you love fun, and yeah, me too
What I want when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
I need a girl like you
Maybe it's 6:45
Maybe I'm barely alive
Maybe you've taken my shit for the last time
Maybe I know that I'm drunk
Maybe I know you're the one
Maybe you're thinking it's better if you drive
Not too long ago, I was dancing for dollars
No, it's really rude if I let you meet my mama
You don't want a girl like me I'm too crazy
For every other girl you meet its fugazy
I'm sure them other girls were nice enough
But you need someone to spice it up
So who you gonna call? Cardi, Cardi
Come and rev it up like Harley, Harley
Why is the best fruit always forbidden?
I'm coming to you now doin' 20 over the limit
The red light, red light stop, stop (skrrt)
I don't play when it comes to my heart (let's get it though)
I don't really want a white horse and a carriage
I'm thinkin' more of a white Porsches and karats
I need you right here 'cause every time you call
I play with this kitty like you play with your guitar
'Cause girls like you run 'round with guys like me
'Til sun down when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah
'Cause girls like you run 'round with guys like me
'Til sun down when I come through
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
I need a girl like you
Meaning of Girls Like You
“Girls Like You” by Maroon 5 is a relentlessly catchy and somewhat chaotic ode to an intense, almost manic, attraction. The song’s core narrative revolves around a man desperately pursuing a woman he clearly finds utterly captivating – bordering on obsession – despite a recent tumultuous period marked by her “getting even.” The repeated refrain of “I need a girl like you” isn't simply a declaration of romantic desire; it’s an admission of needing this specific type of vibrant, slightly reckless energy. The lyrics paint a picture of impulsive behavior: a frantic last-minute flight, wasted hours attempting reconciliation, and a willingness to push boundaries – speeding, potentially drunken antics, and even a bizarre, almost throwaway reference to Cardi B and Harley Davidson motorcycles.
However, beneath the surface of this breathless pursuit lies an underlying vulnerability revealed in lines like “Maybe it’s 6:45 / Maybe I'm barely alive” and the acknowledgment of his own erratic behavior (“Maybe I know that I’m drunk”). The shift into a materialistic fantasy – yearning for a white Porsche and karats – suggests a desire to provide this woman with an extravagant, almost overwhelming experience. Ultimately, Maroon 5 isn't crafting a sophisticated love story; instead, they're capturing the intoxicating rush of infatuation, the desperate need for validation, and the somewhat unsettling feeling of wanting someone who embodies both thrilling chaos and a captivating allure—a dangerous combination that the narrator is willing to chase with all his might.
