I’m Moving On
John Lennon & Yoko Ono Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Save your sweet talk
For when you score
Keep your Monday kisses
For your glass lady
I want the truth and nothing more
I'm moving on
Moving on, you're getting phony
You didn't have to tell a white lie
You knew you scored me for life
Don't stick your finger in my pie
You know I'll see through your jive
I want the truth and nothing more
I'm moving on
Moving on, we're getting phony

When you were angry you had love in your eyes
When you were sad you had dream in your voice
But now you're giving me your window smile
I'm moving on
Moving on it's getting phony

@samnous2002

If you've ever thought that John and Yoko were a "Double Fantasy", listen to the lyrics of the this song and the lyrics of I'm Losing You by John on the same album. She was actually having an affair with a guy at that very time. She was ready to dump him.

EVERYDAY CHEMISTRY

@mandmaofficial

We were just Four Guys.

@weottertalk

I know a lot of people don't care for her, but I thought she was great on this album. Probably the John Lennon factor. Love the guitars in this song.

@victorhugo-wo2ci

I think alot of people dont give her enough credit for this album, her voice actually contributes to the song. I hate her for whatever else he done on johns life but you cant tell me this song isnt amazing

@AGMundy

And I thought the transition from Losing You in to Moving On was very well done and was a good binding of the two songs which are of course connected.
