Move Me
Judie Tzuke Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You want to tell me how to do it
If I shut my eyes real tight I'll get through it
You want to lead me to the water
But I'm not allowed to drink 'till you give the order

Seems like all you thinking about
Is how much louder you can shout
You love to move me to how you want me to be
You love to move me

I'm not really into this kind of thing but...

Hey what's a difference?
It's a funny kind of love but I'll try it once
If it makes you feel it's happening
Then it’s worth a go to get it on the action

Seems like all you thinking about
Is how much louder you can shout
You love to move me how you want me to be
You love to move me

Move me

You want to tell me how to do it
If I shut my eyes real tight I'll get through it
You love to move me to how you want me to be
You love to move me how you want me to be





Move me how you want me to be

The chorus, with its repetitive "move me" refrain, gives a sense of being swept up in something beyond the singer's control. The use of the word "love" in the line "You love to move me" adds a layer of complexity to the relationship between the two characters, hinting that there may be some affection or desire between them.
