“Love Is Like” by Maroon 5 & Lil Wayne is the high-profile title track from Maroon 5’s eighth studio album Love Is Like (out August 15, 2025), and it perfectly encapsulates the record’s fusion of pop-rock energy with hip-hop swagger. This collaboration marks another bold crossover for the band, pairing Adam Levine’s emotive, sleek vocals with Lil Wayne’s sharp, witty bars to create a song that’s both infectious and lyrically daring. The track uses addiction as a metaphor for an all-consuming romantic obsession, with the hook—”Your love is like drugs, and I had suitcases full of it”—painting a vivid picture of love’s intoxicating highs and inevitable crashes.
Unlike the sugary rush of Maroon 5’s Sugar from V, the raw passion of This Love from Songs About Jane, or Lil Wayne’s triumphant flex in 3 Peat from Tha Carter III, this track blends sultry pop melodies with gritty rap, capturing the intoxicating highs of romance. Teased via Instagram Live in July 2025, it sets the tone for the album’s exploration of love’s addictive pull. Dive into the Love Is Like lyrics below, and feel the rush of this pop-rap thrill.
Lyrics of Love Is Like by Maroon 5 & Lil Wayne
[Intro: Adam Levine]
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, Mm
[Chorus: Adam Levine]
Your Love Is Like Drugs, And I Had Suitcases Full Of It
Never Thought That They Would Come
When I Would Burn Through It All
Give You A Call, And Beg For Some More (Yeah)
[Verse 1: Adam Levine]
Your Love Is Like Drugs, It Feels Like A Ghost Is Chasing Me
Or Maybe I Shouldn’t Had Ended Things So Hastily
’cause Every Time We Try To Rehash, Everything That We Have
I Ain’t Go To Rehab, Yeah
But I Wouldn’t Give For One More Try
Maybe That’s Impossible ’cause I (Oh)
You Know It’s Too Late For Fixing
Lying Face Down In Addiction
[Chorus: Adam Levine]
Your Love Is Like Drugs, And I Had Suitcases Full Of It
Never Thought That They 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
Never Thought That They Would Come (Ooh)
When I Would Burn Through It All
Give You A Call, And Beg For Some More
[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
Uh, Your Love Is Like Dope, Got Me Twisted Like Rope
Leslie Lowe, If She Left A Note, It Was Murdered As She Wrote
I’m Addicted To You, Look What’s Addicted To You
When I Talk About Your Love, It Like I’m Snitching On You
I’m Hallucinatin’, You Got Me Seeing Things
I See You In My Future, Baby, You’re Intoxicatin’
Got Me High As Hell, You My Cartel, Baby
I’m Your Clientele, And You Supply Well
[Chorus: Adam Levine, Lil Wayne, Adam Levine & Lil Wayne]
Your Love Is Like Drugs (Ah-ah-ah), And I Had Suitcases Full Of It
Never Thought That They 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
Never Thought That They Would Come When I Would Burn Through It All
Give You A Call, And Beg For Some More (Ooh-la, Baby)
[Bridge: Adam Levine]
I Do Bad, Bad Things That I Don’t Replan
Lie And For Say That I Would Do It Again
You Take Me Places I Have Never Been
Imagine Now, It’s Always Spent, Yeah
There’s Something ’bout You, Make Me Wanna Sin, Yeah
And Being Next To You Is Medicine, Ah
I Swear, I’ma Fuck This Up Again
Just Let Me Get A Taste
Your Love Is Like Drugs, Ooh
Drugs
[Chorus: Adam Levine]
Your Love Is Like Drugs, And I Had Suitcases Full Of It
Never Thought That They Would Come
When I Would Burn Through It All
Give You A Call, And Beg For Some More (Ooh)
[Outro: Adam Levine]
(Your Love Is My Drug)
That’s Just An Incredible Thing
(Drug, Drug, Drug)
I Think We Got
(Your Love Is My Drug, Ooh)
