Move Me
Jesus Jones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Around me, through me,
Over me you came you went
There was no harm spent
Was it really worth our while?

Move me, move me
Move me (if you can't it's not worth a damn)
Move me, move me
Move me (if you can't it's not worth a damn)

All the pain is ours to gain
If it's dangerous it's good for us
Let's lose control, let it
Slip away

Move me, move me
Move me (if you can't it's not worth a damn)
Move me, move me
Move me (if you can't it's not worth a damn)

Move me, move me
Move me (if you can't it's not worth a damn)




Move me, move me
Move me (if you can't it's not worth a damn)
