[Verse 1]
Hangin' 'round downtown by myself
And I had so much time to sit and think about myself
And then there she was like double cherry pie
Yeah, there she was like disco superfly

[Chorus]
I smell sex and candy here
Who's that lounging in my chair?
Who's that casting devious stare in my direction?
Mama, this surely is a dream, yeah
Mama, this surely is a dream, yeah

[Verse 2]
Hangin' 'round downtown by myself
And I had too much caffeine
And I was thinkin' 'bout myself
And then there she was wearin that platform double suede
Yeah, there she was like disco lemonade

[Chorus]
I smell sex and candy here
Who's that lounging in my chair?
Who's that casting devious stare in my direction?
Mama, this surely is a dream, yeah
Mama, this surely is a dream, yeah

[Chorus]
I smell sex and candy here
Who's that lounging in my chair?
Who's that casting devious stare in my direction?
Mama, this surely is a dream, yeah
Mama, this surely is a dream, yeah

Maroon 5

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.
