Jr. Johnny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You tell me I'm not the man she's worthy of
But who are you to tell her who to love
Oh that's up to her yes and the Lord above
You better move on
Well I know you can buy her fancy clothes and diamond rings
But I believe she's happy with me without those things
But my friend that will never be
You better move on
I can't blame you for loving her
But can't you understand she's my girl
Oh but I'm, I'm never ever gonna let her go
Yeah, but don't you know I love that woman so
I think you'd better go now I'm gettin' mighty mad
Yeah, but you'd ask me to give up the only love I've ever had
Maybe I would oh but I love her so I'm never gonna let her go
You better move on
You better move on
You better move on
You better move on
You better move on
You better move on
You better move on
