Move
Jason Manns Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

___?___ day (?)
And I need you with me now
Only you can sooth me
With your voice the only sound

Baby, when you move...
When you move...
When you move...
You move me, baby.

I barely feel like stirring (?)
And you know just what to do
I wanna lay you down- down
And wanna say sweet things to you (?)

Baby, while we move...
While we move...
While we move...
Move, baby.

No, I'll never leave
With you's all I want to be

You really light my fire
Drop the coat right on the floor (?)
You really light my fire
When only you just shut the door (?)

Baby, let me move...
Let me move...
Let me move...
Move you, baby.

Let me move...
Let me move...
Let me move...
Move you, baby.

Move you, baby...
I wanna move you, baby.
Move...
Move you, babe.




Oooh...
Move you, baby...
