Jakarta (ANTARA) - Album studio kedua Maroon 5 yang dirilis pada 16 Mei 2007 bertajuk "It Won't Be Soon Before Long" memuat lagu "Won't Go Home Without You" ciptaan vokalis mereka Adam Levine.

Lagu "Won't Go Home Without You" dirilis Maroon 5 melalui A&M Octone Records pada November 2007, bercerita tentang usaha mati-matian seorang pria untuk membuat pujaan hatinya terkesan, dan ia melakukan segala cara agar membuat gadis tersebut mendengarkannya.

Nada gitar rendah dalam lagu itu terinspirasi oleh lini bas dari lagu The Police, "Every Breath You Take". Meski liriknya berbeda, tema umum tentang cinta dan ketergantungan pada seseorang bisa menjadi benang merah yang membuat kedua lagu tersebut dikait-kaitkan.

Video tersebut telah memperoleh lebih dari 279 juta kali pemutaran dengan lebih dari 933 ribu kali pengguna platform tersebut menekan tombol suka.


Lirik lagu "Won't Go Home Without You" sebagai berikut:

I asked her to stay

But she wouldn't listen

And she left before I had the chance to say, oh

The words that would mend

The things that were broken

But now it's far too late, she's gone away

Every night you cry yourself to sleep

Thinking "Why does this happen to me?

Why does every moment have to be so hard?"

Hard to believe that

It's not over tonight

Just give me one more chance to make it right

I may not make it through the night

I won't go home without you

The taste of her breath

I'll never get over

The noises that you made kept me awake

Oh

The weight of the things that remained unspoken

Built up so much it crushed us everyday

Every night you cry yourself to sleep

Thinking "Why does this happen to me?

Why does every moment have to be so hard?"

Hard to believe that

It's not over tonight

Just give me one more chance to make it right

I may not make it through the night

I won't go home without you

It's not over tonight

Just give me one more chance to make it right

I may not make it through the night

I won't go home without you

Of all the things I felt but never really shown

Perhaps the worst is that I ever let you go

I should not ever let you go, oh, oh, oh

It's not over tonight

Just give me one more chance to make it right

I may not make it through the night

I won't go home without you

Oh, oh, oh

It's not over tonight

Just give me one more chance to make it right

I may not make it through the night

I won't go home without you

And I won't go home without you

And I won't go home without you

And I won't go home without you
