The lyrics to Charlie Hunter and Scott Amendola's song "You Got to Move" are a tribute to the intoxicating power of love, which can leave a person feeling lost, disoriented, and sleepless. In the opening lines, the singer expresses that the girl has him under her spell to the point that he doesn't know what he's doing or where he's going. He acknowledges that she has seized control over his life, which is echoed in the repetition of the line "you really got me now." The lyrics express the desperate longing to be close to her accompanied by a plea not to let him go: "Please, don't ever let me be, I only wanna be by your side."
The other notable aspect of "You Got to Move" is the way the lyrics are delivered. The song features a lot of vocalizations and ad-libs, such as "awh" and "ow." These sounds are used to express the singer's emotional state, which is one of passionate, almost animalistic desire. The lyrics are accompanied by a funk-influenced guitar riff that adds to the song's energetic, upbeat tone.
