Song meaning of Girls Like You by Maroon 5 ft Cardi B


Adam Levine expresses his love for his girlfriend in the joyful love song "Girls Like You" after they had overcome a trying period in their relationship.


Levine stated he told Cardi before she wrote her verse, "I want you to put something down that shows your fierceness as a woman and say it however you want."


A line in the song 'Roll that Backwood, babe' meaning is after you make a cigar joint, pay close attention to me. 'Backwood' is a US brand of cigar that is well-liked by marijuana smokers.


The song was popular and spent seven weeks at the top of the US Billboard Hot 100 list. In eleven other nations, including Canada and New Zealand, it peaked at number one.


Girls Like You lyrics by Maroon 5 ft Cardi B


Spent 24 hours, I need more hours with you

You spent the weekend getting even, ooh

We spent the late nights making things right between us


But now it's all good, babe

Roll that back wood, babe

And play me close


'Cause girls like you run 'round with guys like me

'Til sun down when I come through

I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Girls like you love fun and, yeah, me too

What I want when I come through


I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

I need a girl like you


I spent last night on the last flight to you (ey ya)

Took a whole day up trying to get way up, ooh

We spent the daylight trying to make things right between us


But now it's all good, babe

Roll that back wood, babe

And play me close, yeah


'Cause girls like you run 'round with guys like me

'Til sun down when I come through

I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Girls like you love fun and, yeah, me too

What I want when I come through


I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

I need a girl like you


Maybe it's 6:45

Maybe I'm barely alive

Maybe you've taken my shit for the last time, yeah

Maybe I know that I'm drunk

Maybe I know you're the one

Maybe you thinking it's better if you drive


Oh, 'cause girls like you run 'round with guys like me

'Til sun down when I come through

I need a girl like you, yeah

'Cause girls like you run 'round with guys like me

'Til sun down when I come through

I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Girls like you love fun and, yeah, me too

What I want when I come through


I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah

I need a girl like you, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
