On Air Now
The Capital Late Show with Sonny Jay 10pm - 1am

Adam Levine may not wanna know, but we DEFINITELY do.
THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER. Maroon 5 are back with an absolutely HUGE tune; 'Don't Wanna Know', and they've brought American rapping-royalty, Kendrick Lamar, along to join them.
This is the first single from Maroon 5's upcoming album, following 'V'.
The song, which has a slightly tropical house feel to it, features catchy lyrics like "I don't wanna know, know, know, know / Who's taking you home, home, home, home", and it sounds totally different to the rock-pop genre you've heard from Maroon 5.
Oh, and if you even needed any more convincing that this is a cool tune, the soon-to-be-released music video is directed by David Dobkin. Yes, the same bloke that directed 'Wedding Crashers'. WE KNOW, RIGHT?!
(And while it's a really awesome song, the one thing we can't get on board with is that the album artwork doesn't have an apostrophe between the 'n' and the 't'. Just saying.)

[Intro]
Oh hey
Oh hey
Oh hey
[Chorus: Adam Levine]
I don't wanna know, know, know, know
Who's taking you home, home, home, home
I'm loving you so, so, so, so
The way I used to love you, no
I don't wanna know, know, know, know
Who's taking you home, home, home, home
I'm loving you so, so, so, so
The way I used to love you, oh
I don't wanna know
[Verse 1: Adam Levine]
Wasted (wasted)
And the more I drink the more I think about you
Oh no, no, I can't take it
Baby every place I go reminds me of you
[Pre-Chorus: Adam Levine]
Do you think of me? Of what we used to be?
Is it better now that I'm not around?
My friends are actin' strange, they don't bring up your name
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?
[Chorus: Adam Levine]
I don't wanna know, know, know, know
Who's taking you home, home, home, home
I'm loving you so, so, so, so
The way I used to love you, no
I don't wanna know, know, know, know
Who's taking you home, home, home, home
I'm loving you so, so, so, so
The way I used to love you, oh
I don't wanna know
[Verse 2: Adam Levine]
And I every time I go out, yeah
I hear it from this one, I hear it from that one
Glad you got someone new
Yeah, I see but I don't believe it
Even in my head you're still in my bed
Maybe I'm just a fool
[Pre-Chorus: Adam Levine]
Do you think of me? Of what we used to be?
Is it better now that I'm not around?
My friends are actin' strange, they don't bring up your name
Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?
[Chorus: Adam Levine]
I don't wanna know, know, know, know
Who's taking you home, home, home, home
I'm loving you so, so, so, so
The way I used to love you, no
I don't wanna know, know, know, know
Who's taking you home, home, home, home
I'm loving you so, so, so, so
The way I used to love you, oh
I don't wanna know
[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
(Oh hey)
No more "please stop"
No more hashtag boo'd up screenshots
No more tryin' make me jealous on your birthday
You know just how I made you better on your birthday, oh
Do he do you like this, do he woo you like this?
Do he lay it down for you, touch your p**** like this?
Matter fact, never mind, we'll let the past be
Maybe his right now, but your body's still me, woah
[Chorus: Adam Levine]
I don't wanna know, know, know, know
Who's taking you home, home, home, home
I'm loving you so, so, so, so
The way I used to love you, no
I don't wanna know, know, know, know
Who's taking you home, home, home, home
I'm loving you so, so, so, so
The way I used to love you, oh
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know, know, know, know
Who's taking you home, home, home, home
I'm loving you so, so, so, so
The way I used to love you, oh
I don't wanna know
[Outro: sample]
Oh hey
Oh hey
Oh hey
Oh, oh
