Move
Henry Krieger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Move right out of my life
Move, move
Move right out of my life
You better move (move)
You're steppin' on my heart
I said move (move)
Please move (please move)
Oh, what am I gonna do?
My heart (my heart)
Is breaking, breaking up over you
(Breaking, breaking up over you)
You've got a such magnetic power
That just keeps holding me down (ooh)
I feel just like a flower
That you're keepin' stuck the ground, ground, ground, yeah (ah)
Move, move
Move right out of my life
Move it, move it, out of my life
Move, move
Move right out of my life
Move it, move it, out of my life
Move, move
Move right out of my life...
You are so horribly satanic, the way you lead me around (ooh)
I feel just like the Titanic, I'm always going down, down, down, down (ah)
(Move, move, you're steppin' on my style)
You're steppin' on my style, yes you are, I said
(Move, move, I wanna breathe for a while)
Move, I wanna breathe for a while
(Move, move, move right outta my life)
Hey, baby
(Move it, move it, outta my life)
Hey, baby
(Move, move, move right outta my life)
Get outta my life
(Move it, move it, outta my life)
There's too much pain and strife
So why don't you pack it up and move it
Take the cat, kit, and caboodle
Take your broken down car
Your old smelly cigar
And just move right outta my
Move right outta my life
Please move, move, move, move
Please move, move, move, move...
