[Verse 1]
This has not been easy
This has been hard
I am scarred
And I do not know what to do with you
Going south, kiss your mouth, lick my lips
Grab your hips, can’t remember why I fell in love with this

[Chorus]
But I miss you, I love you
It's a shame you can't stay away from me this time cause oh no
You beg me you ask me to kiss you and hug you
You won’t be getting my affection again
Cause I don't need you

[Verse 2]
Who do you think you are?
No one cares about a name without a face
So don't go shooting up the place
Make no mistake, your love's not real
Cause the love that I got is deeper so much deeper than you could ever feel

[Chorus]
But I miss you, I love you
It's a shame you can't stay away from me this time cause oh no
You beg me you ask me to kiss you and hug you
You won’t be getting my affection again cause oh no
I don't need you tonight

[Verse 3]
It was really nice to know you
I got nothing left to show you
Got bills to pay, get out my way it's time to move on
And dinner with your boyfriend will never be the same again
Discuss me over cigarettes and say to him

[Chorus]
I miss you, I love you
It's a shame you can't stay away from me this time cause oh no
You beg me you ask me
To kiss you and hug you
You won't be getting my affection again
Cause oh no, I don't need you
And I miss you, I love you
It's a shame you can't stay away from me this time cause oh no
You beg me, you ask me to
To kiss you and hug you
You won't be getting my affection again
Cause oh no, I don't need you tonight

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.
