Move Out
Nancy Martinez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I used to love it when we were young
You always said I'd be your number one on your hit parade
You'd buy me diamonds and expensive wine
Out on the town we always had a good time livin' day by day
Virgin islands in the winter time
Gin and tonic with a twist of lime, it was paradise
I got the feelin' somewhere down the line
What we had fell out of rhyme

And now I know that I'm over you
You can pack your bags

Move out (move out)
'Cause I don't love you, boy
I tried to warn you, boy
That you were nothin' but a toy
Move out (move out)
We played the game and scored
But oh I got so bored
Oh I got so bored

I never meant it to last so long
Even then I knew it was wrong to lead you on
Then I saw you lookin' oh so fine
Designer clothes by calvin klien, you just blew my mind
Have to try and make you understand
I always had a lover on command, but it's changing hands
I know for sure that somewhere down the line
What we had fell out of rhyme

Now I'm ready for something new
You can pack your bags
'Cause now we're finally through

Move out (move out)
'Cause I don't love you, boy
I tried to warn you, boy
That you were nothin' but a toy
Move out (move out)
We played the game and scored
But oh I got so bored

Move out (move out)
'Cause I don't love you, boy
I tried to warn you, boy
That you were nothin' but a toy
Move out (move out)
We played the game and scored
But oh I got so bored
Oh I got so bored

(Move out) 'cause I don't love you, boy
(Move out) I tried to warn you, boy
(Move out) that you were nothin' but a toy (move out)
(Move out) we played the game and scored
(Move out) but oh I got so bored
(Move out) oh (move out)

(Move out)
(Move out) move out




(Move out) I want you to move out
(Move out)

Line by Line Meaning

I used to love it when we were young
I reminisce about the past when we were young and in love


You always said I'd be your number one on your hit parade
I believed that you loved me and I was a priority in your life


You'd buy me diamonds and expensive wine
You would spend a lot of money on me to show your affection


Out on the town we always had a good time livin' day by day
We would go out and have fun together without a care in the world


Virgin islands in the winter time
We went on a romantic vacation to the Virgin Islands during winter


Gin and tonic with a twist of lime, it was paradise
We enjoyed drinks on the beach, it was like paradise


I got the feelin' somewhere down the line
At some point, I began to have doubts about our relationship


What we had fell out of rhyme
Our love songs stopped making sense, our love was no longer in harmony


And now I know that I'm over you
I realize that I am no longer in love with you


You can pack your bags
You should leave because our relationship is over


Move out (move out)
I want you to leave my house


'Cause I don't love you, boy
I don't have romantic feelings for you anymore


I tried to warn you, boy
I tried to tell you that I wasn't in love with you, but you didn't listen


That you were nothin' but a toy
You were just a plaything to me, not a serious lover


We played the game and scored
We had a casual relationship with no commitment, but it worked for us in the past


But oh I got so bored
But eventually, I got bored of our relationship and needed something more


I never meant it to last so long
I didn't plan for our casual relationship to go on for so long


Even then I knew it was wrong to lead you on
I knew it was wrong to give you false hope that our relationship would become something more


Then I saw you lookin' oh so fine
I saw you dressed in designer clothes looking very attractive


Designer clothes by calvin klien, you just blew my mind
Your designer outfit by Calvin Klein impressed me and caught my attention


Have to try and make you understand
I need to explain to you that our relationship is over


I always had a lover on command, but it's changing hands
I always had someone available to me, but now I want to move on to a new relationship


Now I'm ready for something new
I am ready to move on and find a different kind of love


'Cause now we're finally through
Our relationship is finally over


Move out (move out)
I am telling you to leave my home


Oh I got so bored
I became very tired of our relationship


I want you to move out
I am insisting that you leave my home
