Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Your Body Is a Wonderland. By Songfacts®.

On VH1 Storytellers, Mayer said that the song is about his very first girlfriend, which he had when he was 14 years old. Said Mayer: "It's really a song about when you could love someone enough to jump into bed at 4 and get out when it's dark, like when you go see a movie and you walk out and it's dark out - same thing except instead of the movie it's sex."

Mayer wrote "Your Body Is A Wonderland" when he was 21 and had moved to Atlanta and started to write songs. It was the opening guitar part that got him started. He explained: "I had this guitar part and I'd play it for hours - I just wanted to see how liquidy it could get."

John Mayer had a short-lived relationship with Jennifer Love Hewitt and the actress was rumored to be the inspiration behind this song. However as Room For Squares was released before the two dated, this was clearly not the case. Hewitt denied the rumors to People magazine when she quipped, "John would have written, 'Your body is a disaster.'" Said Mayer, "This would be the first in a history of songs that were reported that they were written for people they weren't written for."
