Move
KeyHarmony Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got a favor for you
I just can't explain
But there's just one problem
I a little cool
When it comes to lovin'
I ain't chasin'
(I ain't gonna wait)
Out on the road
You got to let yourself go
Ohh you know that I've
Don't make me stand all by myself
'cause I ain't lookin' at no one else
Hey! Get your back off the wall
Don't you get comfortable
Lookin' so hot I think that I might fall
For you, feeling like it's my birthday
Like Christmas Day came early
Just what I want so when we move you
Hey! (Hey!)
Get your back off the wall
Don't you get comfortable
Lookin' so hot I think that I might fall
For you, feeling like it's my birthday
Like Christmas Day came early
Just what I want so when we move, you move
Get up silly!
Why you afraid?
Don't be a big baby
Quit playing games
Put your arms around me
You know what to do
And we can take it down low!
Ohh!
You know that I've been waitin' for you
Don't leave me standing all by myself
'cause I ain't lookin' at no one else (no one, no one else)
I know that you want it but you can't 'cause you gotta stay cool in the corner
when the truth is that you wanna move
(Hey! What? Whoo!) So move
(What? Whoo!)
I know that you want it but you can't 'cause you gotta stay cool in the corner
when the truth is that you wanna move
So move!
Hey hey, I'm ready
Hey! boy come and get me
Don't be scared.
Show me what you do
Don't you know a girl like a boy who moves?
Hey!
Get your back off the wall
Don't you get comfortable
Lookin' so hot I think that I might fall
For you, feeling like it's my birthday
Like Christmas Day came early
Just what I want so when we move, you move
Hey hey, I'm ready
Hey! boy come and get me
Don't be scared.
Show me what you do
Don't you know a girl like a boy who moves?
The lyrics of "Move" by KeyHarmony describe a woman who has her eyes on a man at a party or club. She is interested in him, but he seems a little reserved, perhaps nervous, and not the type to make a move. She encourages him to let loose and enjoy himself, urging him to dance and get closer to her. The woman is confident and playful, teasing the man and making it clear that she wants to be with him. The chorus repeats the message that the man should stop being shy and make a move on her, using birthday and Christmas Day as metaphors for how excited she is about the possibility of being with him. The song ends with her repeating her invitation for the man to come and get her, reinforcing her desire for him.
The lyrics of "Move" by KeyHarmony evoke a sense of fun, flirtation, and anticipation. The woman in the song is a strong, independent character who isn't afraid to take the initiative and go after what she wants. However, she also recognizes that the man may be hesitant, and she tries to reassure him and make him feel comfortable. The repeated refrain of "get your back off the wall" suggests a need to break down barriers and let oneself go, in order to fully engage with the moment and with another person. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy melody contribute to its overall feeling of joy and excitement.
