Move
Jennifer Holliday Loretta Devine & Sheryl Lee Ralph Lyrics

Move, move!
Urgent command to leave immediately.

Move right out of my life!
Voluntary departure from current situation and separation from the singer's life.

You better move [Move!]
Warning that the person is infringing upon a personal boundary and must leave.

You're steppin on my heart
The person's presence is causing emotional pain and discomfort.

You're tearing it apart, please move! [Please move]
Pleading for the person to leave to stop further emotional harm to the artist.

Ohhh, what am I gonna do, my heart [My heart]
A rhetorical question posed to express the emotional damage done by the person's presence.

Is breaking breaking up over you [Breaking, breaking up over you!]
The person is the cause of the singer's heartbreak and distress.

You've got a such magnetic power
The person has an irresistible quality that attracts and captivates the artist.

That just keeps holding me down [Oooh]
The person's hold on the artist is preventing them from moving on and being free.

I feel just like a flower
The artist feels delicate, vulnerable and trapped like a flower stuck in the ground.

You sure keep me stuck in the ground ground ground
The person is keeping the singer stuck in an emotionally harmful situation.

You are so horribly Satanic
The person is negatively affecting and controlling the artist's life.

The way you lead me around [Oooh]
The person is manipulating and controlling the singer's actions and life.

I feel just like the Titanic [Ohhhhh]
The singer feels like they are heading for disaster and ruin due to the person's influence.

Im always going down, down, down, down! yeah
The singer is continuously experiencing failure and hardship due to the person's presence.

[Move, move, you're steppin on my style]
The person is infringing upon the artist's personal style and identity.

I wanna breathe for a while
The artist needs time and space to recover and heal emotionally.

Yeah outta my life!
Insistent demand for separation and departure from the singer's life.

Theres too much pain and strife
The current situation is causing too much emotional pain and difficulty for the singer.

So why dont you pack it up and move it, [Move]
The person should gather their belongings and leave immediately.

Take the cat, kit, and caboodle [Move]
The person should take all their possessions with them when they leave.

Take your broken down car [Move]
The person's vehicle is in disrepair and should be taken when they depart.

Your smelly cigar [Move]
The person's actions are unpleasant and unwelcome and should take all unpleasant odors and habits with them when they leave.

Please move, move, move, move
Urgent begging for the person to leave immediately.

Come on! Come on!
A call to action for the person to take swift action and leave quickly.

You can do better, for the delectable, the delicious, the defiant Dreamettes!
Encouragement for the Dreamettes to perform their best in the talent contest.
