I was so high, I did not recognize
The fire burning in her eyes
The chaos that controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye as she got on a plane
Never to return again
But always in my heart
[Chorus]
This love has taken it's toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore
I tried my best to feed her appetite
Keep her coming every night
So hard to keep her satisfied
Kept playing love like it was just a game
Pretending to feel the same
Then turn around and leave again
[Chorus]
I'll fix these broken things
Repair your broken wings
And make sure everything is alright
My pressure on your hips
Sinking my fingertips
Into every inch of you
'Cause I know that's what you want me to do
[Chorus]
The fire burning in her eyes
The chaos that controlled my mind
Whispered goodbye as she got on a plane
Never to return again
But always in my heart
[Chorus]
This love has taken it's toll on me
She said goodbye too many times before
And her heart is breaking in front of me
I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore
I tried my best to feed her appetite
Keep her coming every night
So hard to keep her satisfied
Kept playing love like it was just a game
Pretending to feel the same
Then turn around and leave again
[Chorus]
I'll fix these broken things
Repair your broken wings
And make sure everything is alright
My pressure on your hips
Sinking my fingertips
Into every inch of you
'Cause I know that's what you want me to do
[Chorus]

According to lead singer Adam Levine, this song is about how he was fed up with his relationship with Jane and how the record label was pressuring the band for more songs. (thanks, Kara - great neck, NY)
There are 2 versions of the video, both featured vocalist Adam Levine canoodling with his girlfriend at the time, model Kelly McGee. The second version is a censored version where flowers cover nudity. (thanks, erourke - Raleigh, NC)
Songs About Jane has sold over 8 million copies worldwide.
Maroon 5 won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. The next year, this won the award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocal. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France, for above 2)
The Miami Herald October 3, 2008 commented to Adam Levine that many of Maroon 5's videos are pretty steamy (such as this one), before asking the singer if he was consciously trying to push boundaries. Levine replied: "Well, I think there's definitely a sexual element to a lot of the music, so it would make sense that there would be a sexual element to the videos as well. It's all very natural to me. But yes, I don't want to just show a little bit of skin. I want to go for it. I'd like to get to the point where we could shock people. I grew up listening to the Beatles and the Stones and Zeppelin, but I also grew up listening to Prince, who was kind of a sexual icon. So I have a lot of different tastes I like to display. But yeah, pushing it is always nice. When people get a little uncomfortable, I have no problem with that."
'Keep her coming every night.'
You guys can say all you want, whether you think that I should stop being so dirty minded or that I shouldn't think that way...
But it isn't the kind of come as in:
'Come over here.'
Its... the other kind.
And I know this because I was watching the music video the other day on this show. (It was the top 100 songs of the 2000's. I believe it was around 20) and they beeped out 'coming'.
So I believe that's how Maroon 5 wrote the song.
ANYWAY!
I think what he's trying to do is have s-e-x (I'm young, I don't even like typing out the word.) with her so that she doesn't lose interest in him.

I love my classic rock music, but I have to say Songs About Jane is one of my favourite albums ever. It's been 8 years, and my music diversity has grown immensely, but this still remains a favourite. This song I feel like is one of the theme songs of the whole album. Whether or not it's over played or you don't like it because it's immoral, you gotta admit it's honest.
