[Verse 1]
You’re such a flirt, I know you hurt
And so do I, I empathize
I see you out, you never cared
A conversation that we never shared
But it’s so strange, it’s something new
Amazing feelings that I have for you
I close my eyes when I’m alone
Wonder what it’d be like to make you moan

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna give you something better
Than anything you’ve ever had
A stronger and a faster lover
The world, it disappears so fast

[Chorus]
Sweet kiwi
Your juices dripping down my chin
So please, let me
Don’t stop it before it begins

[Verse 2]
So give it up, and don’t pretend
And spread your arms and legs across the bed
And when you shake, you won’t regret
The things I whisper in your ear
"What?" I said:

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna give you something better
(You wann give me something better)
Than anything you’ve ever had
(Than anything I’ve ever had)
A stronger and a faster lover
(A stronger and a faster lover)
The world, it disappears so fast
(It disappears so fast)

[Chorus]
Sweet kiwi
Your juices dripping down my chin
So please, let me
Don’t stop it before it begins

[Verse 3]
I can’t wait to take you home
Fingers through your hair
Kisses on your back
Scratch me with your nails
Save me from myself
Show me how to care
Get everything out
Dripping everywhere
Lipstick smeared all over your face
How much longer must we wait?
Don’t think that I can wait

[Chorus]
Sweet kiwi
Your juices dripping down my chin
So please, let me
Don’t stop it before it begins (hey, yeah)

[Chorus]
Sweet kiwi (want to give you something better than this)
Your juices dripping down my chin (hey, yeah)
So please, let me (want to give you something better than this)
Don’t stop it before it begins

[Outro]
Don’t stop it before it begins
Don’t stop it before it begins
Don’t stop it before it begins
Don’t stop it before it begins

Maroon 5 is an American pop rock band. They were originally formed in 1994 as Kara’s Flowers while they were still attending high school. They signed to Reprise Records and released an album, The Fourth World, in 1997. After a mediocre response to the album, the band parted with their record label and attended college, but in 2001, the band regrouped, added James Valentine to the lineup, and pursued a new direction under the name Maroon 5.

Their first big hit came in the form of “Harder to Breathe,” the edgier lead single from their debut, Songs About Jane. The continued success of that song and other singles “This Love,” “She Will Be Loved,” and “Sunday Morning” cemented the quintet as a pop-rock band to keep an eye out for.

However, for their second album, It Won’t Be Soon Before Long, they switched to ambing up on slick pop production—and it worked for them. Lead single “Makes Me Wonder” jumped 63 places in one week to reach number one, becoming their first ever #1 single.
