Lirik dan Makna Lagu Love Is Like - Maroon 5

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, mm

Your love is like drugs and I had suitcases full of it
I never thought the day would come
When I would burn through it all
Give you a call and beg for some more (Yeah)

Your love is like drugs and it feels like your ghost is chasin' me
And maybe I shouldn't have ended things so hastily
'Cause every time we try to rehash everything that we had, I end up in rehab, yeah
But what I wouldn't give for one more try
But maybe that's impossible 'cause I (Oh)
Know it's too late for fixing, I'm lying face down in addiction

Your love is like drugs and I had suitcases full of it
I never thought the day would come (Ooh)
When I would burn through it all
Give you a call and beg for some more (Ooh)
Your love is like drugs and I had suitcases full of it
I never thought the day would come (Ooh)
When I would burn through it all
Give you a call and beg for some more

Uh, your love is like dope, got me twisted like rope, let's elope
If she left a note, it was murder that she wrote
I'm addicted to you, look what this dick did to you
When I talk about your love, it like I'm snitchin' on you
I'm hallucinatin', you got me seeing things
I see you in my future, baby, you're intoxicatin'
You got me high as hell, you're my cartel, baby
I'm your clientele and you supply it well

Your love is like drugs (Ah-ah-ah), and I had suitcases full of it
I never thought the day would come when I would burn through it all
Give you a call and beg for some more (Oh-oh, yeah)
Your love is like drugs and I had suitcases full of it
I never thought the day would come when I would burn through it all
Give you a call and beg for some more (Oo la, baby)

I did bad, bad things that I don't regret
Lying if I said I wouldn't do 'em all again, but
You take me places I ain't never been
I made the money, now it's all been spent, yeah
There's something 'bout you, make me wanna sin, yeah
And being next to you is medicine, ah
I swear, I'd never fuck this up again, just let me get a taste
Your love is like drugs, ooh, drugs

Your love is like drugs and I had suitcases full of it
I never thought the day would come
When I would burn through it all
Give you a call and beg for some more (Ooh)

(Your love is my drug)
That's shit's gonna be crazy
(Drug, drug, drug)
I think we got it
(Your love is my drug, ooh)

Sesuai judulnya, Maroon 5 mendeskripsikan bagaimana rasanya cinta kepada seseorang lewat lagu "Love Is Like" ini. Perasaan tersebut dibandingkan dengan benda-benda yang memiliki efek "candu" dan "memabukkan" sehingga terus-menerus menginginkannya.

Hidupnya bahkan berubah drastis setelah bertemu dengan sosok yang dicintai tersebut. Liriknya menunjukkan seseorang yang rela melakukan berbagai cara untuk mempertahankan hubungannya dengan kekasih, sekali pun harus berlutut atau memohon di depannya.

Video musik untuk lagu "Love Is Like" yang disutradarai oleh Aerin Moreno, menampilkan vokalis Maroon 5, Adam Levine, menyusuri jalanan kota New York, sementara Lil Wayne tampil dari dalam limusin yang dipenuhi asap.

Lagu "Love Is Like" merupakan hit dari album kedelapan Maroon 5 berjudul sama. Abum ini berisi beberapa lagu yang telah dirilis sebelumnya, termasuk "All Night" dan "Priceless," kolaborasi mereka dengan Lisa BLACKPINK.

"Rasanya kami (Maroon 5) kembali ke kebiasaan lama, yaitu tidak memperhatikan di mana kami berada dan memproduksi musik secara organik. Beginilah cara kami menonjol di awal karier kami," tutur Adam Levine.
