[Verse 1]
Yeah, you gotta let it go '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, you

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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, oh
Afraid to let you go, cause without you, I'm lost
And not matter the cost, I'll be standing next to you, oh

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
My back's against the wall tonight
So go ahead pull the trigger, shoot the lights off
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

[Chorus]
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

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.
