Move
Jennifer Hudson Beyonce Knowles & Anika Noni Rose Lyrics

Move, move!
Commanding the subject to move away from the singer.

Move right out of my life!
Urging the subject to leave the singer's life for good.

You better move [Move!]
Giving a warning to the subject to leave.

Youre steppin on my heart
Subject's actions are causing emotional harm to the artist.

I said move [Move]
Repeating the command to move.

Youre tearing it apart, please move! [Please move]
Pleading with the subject to move away and stop causing harm.

Ohhh, what am I gonna do, my heart [My heart]
Expressing the pain that the subject's actions are causing the singer's heart.

Is breaking breaking up over you [Breaking, breaking up over you!]
Describing the emotional distress centered around the subject and the artist's need for them to leave.

Youve got a such magnetic power
Acknowledging the subject's pull on the artist.

That just keeps holding me down [Oooh]
Feeling trapped and held down by the subject.

I feel just like a flower
Metaphor that the singer is delicate and trapped under the subject's control.

You sure keep me stuck in the ground ground ground
Emphasizing how trapped the artist feels.

You are so horribly Satanic
Insulting the subject, comparing them to an evil force.

The way you lead me around [Oooh]
Feeling manipulated and led by the subject.

I feel just like the Titanic [Ohhhhh]
Feeling like they are sinking and unable to escape the subject's control.

Im always going down, down, down, down! yeah
Expressing the subject's continued control over the artist's life.

[Move, move, youre steppin on my style]
Repetition of the command to move and an expression of frustration at how the subject is affecting the artist's way of life.

I wanna breathe for a while
Expressing the desire to have space and room to be able to think.

Theres too much pain and strife
Expressing how much damage the subject has caused in the singer's life.

So why dont you pack it up and move it, [Move]
Suggesting that the subject should leave.

Take the cat, kit, and caboodle [Move]
Suggesting that the subject should take everything with them when they leave.

Take your broken down car [Move]
Suggesting that the subject should take their car, even if it's in poor condition.

Your smelly cigar [Move]
Suggesting that the subject should take everything that the singer dislikes about them.

And just move right outta my [Move, move, move]
Final repetition of the command to move.

Move right outta my life! [Move right outta my life!]
Reiterating the need for the subject to leave the singer's life.

Please move, move, move, move
Continuing to plead with the subject to leave the singer's life.

Please move, move, move, move(continue in background)
Continuing to repeat the command to the subject even as they fade into the background.
