Movin' On
Novecento Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would sit here and wait in vain
Baby I'm movin' on
'Cause what I want from love
Is the pleasure and not the pain
Baby I'm movin' on
Didn't I hear you say
That your love would never change
But when the story ends
Why should we both pretend
When we know there's another
(Tell me how, tell me who)
Just tell me the truth
(Tell me why did you lie)
I can see it in your eyes
Tell me where, tell me when
'Cause it never should have been at all
But it looks like it's over
Why'd you think that I
Would sit here and wait in vain
Baby I'm movin' on
'Cause what I want from love
Is the pleasure and not the pain
Baby I'm movin' on, yeah
I remember when
When I was there for you
Where were you last winter?
'Cause the thoughts run through my mind
Of all the times you lied
And that's why it's over
(Tell me how, tell me who)
Just tell me the truth
(Tell me why did you lie)
I can see it in your eyes
Tell me where, tell me when
'Cause it never should have been at all
But it looks like it's over
Why'd you think that I
Would sit here and wait in vain
Baby I'm movin' on
'Cause what I want from love
Is the pleasure and not the pain
Baby I'm movin' on, yeah
How could you do this to me
'Cause now I gotta leave
Why did you tell me those lies, those lies
And now I gotta say bye-bye
Bye-bye, baby yeah
Why'd you think that I
Would sit here and wait in vain
Baby I'm movin' on
'Cause what I want from love
Is the pleasure and not the pain
Baby I'm movin' on
Why'd you think that I
Would sit here and wait in vain
Baby I'm movin' on
'Cause what I want from love
Is the pleasure and not the pain
Baby I'm movin' on
The lyrics of Novecento's "Movin' On" speak of an ended relationship where the singer chooses to move on rather than stay and endure pain. The song starts by questioning the ex-lover's assumptions that the singer would wait for them in vain. The hook "Baby I'm movin' on" signifies the decision to end the relationship as the singer desires pleasure and not pain in love. The chorus is repeated several times, emphasizing the message's importance, indicating the need to move on and the desire for pleasure and happiness. The second verse recounts the relationship, where the singer had been there through thick and thin, but the reverse was not the case. The song ends with a realization of the lies told by the ex-lover and the need to say goodbye.
