That's It I Quit I'm Movin' On
Adele Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To say goodnight
I'd always kiss
And hold you tight
But lately
You don't seem
To care
You close the door
Standing there
Oh, honey
That's not fair
That's it
I quit
I'm movin' on
The other night
We had a date
And you showed up
Two hours late
And though your hair
Was all in place
Somebody smeared
Their lipstick
On your face
Oh, they smeared it
Every place
Yeah, yeah that's it, honey
I quit, I'm movin' on
Ooh
You made me want you
You made me leave you
You made me tumble
And fall
But if I
Can't have you the way
I want you
I don't want you at all
Baby, I can take a lot
'Cause I love
Everything you got
Though your kisses
Sooth me so
If you've got someone else
I gotta go
Oh, that you know
Yeah, that's it, honey
I quit, I'm movin' on
Ooh
You made me want you
You made me leave you
You made me tumble
And fall
But if I can't have you
The way I want you
I don't want you at all
Baby
I can take a lot
'Cause I love
Everything you got
Though your kisses
Sooth me so
If you got someone else
I gotta go
Oh, that you know
So that's it
Baby, I quit now
I'm movin' on
So that's it
Baby, I quit
Oh, I'm movin' on
In Adele's song "That's It I Quit I'm Moving On," the singer describes how she feels unappreciated in her relationship. Previously, when it was time to say goodbye, she would kiss her partner and hold them tight. However, lately, her partner seems to not care anymore and leaves her standing there. The singer notes that this is not fair and decides to move on. She also tells the story of how her partner showed up hours late to a date, and there was lipstick smeared all over their face, signifying that they were cheating. Knowing that her partner has someone else is the last straw for the singer, and she quits the relationship.
Overall, the song has a powerful message of self-respect and not settling for less than you deserve. The singer is not willing to stay in a relationship where she is not appreciated, and she knows that it is time to move on. The song emphasizes the importance of standing up for yourself and recognizing when it is time to let go.
