It's Time to Move On
Dannii Minogue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was a time you made me smile
Made me feel so good inside
I never thought you were doing wrong
In my heart you were the only one

But as time passed us by
You seem to change right before my eyes
Red lipstick found on your clothes
Just another reason to let you know that

It's time to move on
I have to leave and there's no better way
It's time to move on
Don't waste your sweet talk

It's time to move on
I have to leave and there's no better way
It's time to move on
There is no reason I should stay with you
There is no reason, there is no reason

There was a time when it was one-on-one
And our love life was so much fun
Just a touch from your loving hand
Would turn me on and my heart would start to dance

(Just a little bit) Of loving that we shared
(Just a little bit) Of your heart and romance
(Just a little bit) Will never be enough
'Cause I need a man
That can give me everlasting love

It's time to move on
I have to leave and there's no better way
It's time to move on
Don't waste your sweet talk
Don't waste your sweet talk

It's time to move on
I have to leave and there's no better way
It's time to move on
There is no reason I should stay with you

I know in time
A true man if I could find them
I had a love
It's gonna last for the rest of my life

Time, time, time, time
There is no reason, 'cause I need a
There is no reason, 'cause I need a man
There is no reason, 'cause I need a
'Cause I need a man
That can give me everlasting love

It's time to move on
I have to leave and there's no better way
It's time to move on
Don't waste your sweet talk
Don't waste your sweet talk

It's time to move on
I have to leave and there's no better way
It's time to move on
There is no reason I should stay with you

(Just a little bit) Of your love
(Just a little bit) Of your heart
(Just a little bit) Of romance
Don't waste your sweet talk
