Maroon 5 is an American pop rock band that originates from Los Angeles, California. The group was originally formed in 1994 as Kara’s Flowers while they were still attending high school. With a line-up of Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael, Mickey Madden and Ryan Dusick, they signed to Reprise Records and released an album, The Fourth World, in 1997. After a tepid response to the album, the band parted with their record label and attended college. In 2001, the band regrouped and added James Valentine to the lineup, and pursued a new direction under the name Maroon 5.

Adam Levine has stated: “Everything that’s written and performed and put together pretty much comes from us. I just think people would be surprised to know that we’re a self-contained unit. We’re a band that does their own thing. There’s no puppet master.”

However, in an article about the songwriter and producer Benny Blanco, subtitled “Benny Blanco, Hit Maker for Rihanna and Maroon 5,” it is revealed that at least some of Maroon 5’s songs, such as “Moves Like Jagger,” are the product of efforts by, or collaborations with, professional songwriters and producers. In the same article, Adam Levine is quoted as saying: “It’s almost as if Benny Blanco has the Midas touch in putting the right people together at the right time to create a musical moment. He’s about the collaboration. And he’s so good at nailing down who does everything best.” Maroon 5 – Makes Me Wonder

I wake up with blood-shot eyes Struggled to memorize The way it felt between your thighs Pleasure that made you cry Feels so good to be bad Not worth the aftermath, after that After that Try to get you back

[Bridge] I still don’t have the reason And you don’t have the time And it really makes me wonder If I ever gave a fuck about you

[Chorus] Give me something to believe in Cause I don’t believe in you anymore Anymore I wonder if it even makes a difference to try (Yeah) So this is goodbye

[Verse] God damn my spinning head Decisions that made my bed Now I must lay in it And deal with things I’ve left unsaid I want to dive into you Forget what you’re going through I get behind, make your move Forget about the truth

[Bridge] I still don’t have the reason And you don’t have the time And it really makes me wonder If I ever gave a fuck about you

[Chorus] Give me something to believe in Cause I don’t believe in you anymore Anymore I wonder if it even makes a difference, It even makes a difference to try And you told me how you’re feeling But I don’t believe it’s true anymore Anymore I wonder if it even makes a difference to cry (Oh no) So this is goodbye

[Breakdown] I’ve been here before One day I’ll wake up And it won’t hurt anymore You caught me in a lie I have no alibi The words you say don’t have a meaning Cause

[Bridge] I still don’t have the reason And you don’t have the time And it really makes me wonder If I ever gave a fuck about you And I…and so this is goodbye

Maroon 5 – Payphone

I’m at a payphone trying to call home All of my change I spent on you Where have the times gone Baby it’s all wrong, where are the plans we made for two? Yeah, I, I know it’s hard to remember The people we used to be It’s even harder to picture That you’re not here next to me You say it’s too late to make it But is it too late to try? And in our time that you wasted All of our bridges burned down

I’ve wasted my nights You turned out the lights Now I’m paralyzed Still stuck in that time when we called it love But even the sun sets in paradise

I’m at a payphone trying to call home All of my change I spent on you Where have the times gone Baby it’s all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

If happy ever after did exist I would still be holding you like this All those fairytales are full of sh*t One more stupid love song I’ll be sick

You turned your back on tomorrow Cause you forgot yesterday I gave you my love to borrow But just gave it away You can’t expect me to be fine I don’t expect you to care I know I’ve said it before But all of our bridges burned down

I’ve wasted my nights You turned out the lights Now I’m paralyzed Still stuck in that time when we called it love But even the sun sets in paradise

I’m at a payphone trying to call home All of my change I spent on you Where have the times gone Baby it’s all wrong, where are the plans we made for two? If happy ever after did exist I would still be holding you like this All those fairytales are full of sh*t One more stupid love song I’ll be sick

Now I’m at a payphone…

[Wiz Khalifa] Man work that sh*t I’ll be out spending all this money while you sitting round Wondering why it wasn’t you who came up from nothing Made it from the bottom Now when you see me I’m stunning And all of my cars start with the push up a button Telling me the chances I blew up or whatever you call it Switched the number to my phone So you never could call it Don’t need my name on my show You can tell it I’m ballin’ Swish, what a shame could have got picked Had a really good game but you missed your last shot So you talk about who you see at the top Or what you could’ve saw But sad to say it’s over for Phantom pulled up valet open doors Wiz like go away, got what you was looking for Now ask me who they want So you can go and take that little piece of sh*t with you

I’m at a payphone trying to call home All of my change I spent on you Where have the times gone Baby it’s all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?

If happy ever after did exist I would still be holding you like this All those fairytales are full of sh*t One more stupid love song I’ll be sick

Now I’m at a payphone…
