The Man Who Can't Be Moved
Sabrina Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Going back to the corner where he first saw you
Gonna camp in his sleeping bag, he′s not gonna move
Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in his hand
Saying, "If you see this girl can you tell her where I am?"

Some try to hand him money, they don't understand
He′s not broke, he's just a broken hearted guy
He knows it makes no sense but what else can he do
How can he move on when he's been in love with you

′Cause if one day you wake up and find that you′re missing him
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth he could be
Thinkin maybe you'll come back into the place that you′d meet
And you'll see him waiting for you on the corner of the street
So he′s not moving, he's not moving

Policeman says, "Son you can′t stay here"
He said, "There's someone I'm waiting for if it′s a day, a month, a year"
Gotta stand his ground even if it rains or snows
If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go

′Cause If one day you wake up and find that you're missing him
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth he could be
Thinking maybe you′ll come back into the place that you'd meet
And you′ll see him waiting for you on the corner of the street
So he's not moving, he′s not moving
He's not moving, he's not moving

People talk about the guy that′s waiting on a girl
There are no holes in his shoes but a big hole in his world

Maybe he′ll get famous as the man who can't be moved
Maybe you won′t mean to but you'll see him on the news
And you′ll come running to the corner
'Cause you′ll know it's just for you
He's the man who can′t be moved
He′s the man who can't be moved

′Cause If one day you wake up and find that you're missing him
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth he could be
Thinking maybe you′ll come back here to the place that you'd meet
And you′ll see him waiting for you on the corner of the street
So he's not moving, he's not moving
He′s not moving, he′s not moving





Going back to the corner where he first saw you
Gonna camp in his sleeping bag, he's not gonna move

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sabrina's song "The Man Who Can't Be Moved" tell a story of a man who is hopelessly devoted to a woman who has left him. He goes back to the corner where he first saw her and decides to camp out there, refusing to move until he hears from her. He holds a sign with her name on it, asking anyone who sees her to tell her where he is. The man is not homeless, but rather heartbroken.


Despite the efforts of passersby who offer him money, he remains steadfast in his determination to wait for her, even if it means waiting for a day, a month, or a year. The song's chorus describes the man's stubborn resolve to stay put, even in the face of rain, snow, or the police telling him he can't stay there.


The final verse acknowledges that the man's devotion may never be reciprocated, but he is willing to wait as long as it takes. The song's title suggests that the man's love is so strong that he cannot be moved from his position of waiting for his lost love to return.


Overall, the song is a bittersweet tribute to the power of love and the lengths to which people will go to hold onto it. It is also a reminder that sometimes, despite our best efforts, love may not be returned or reciprocated, and we are left waiting for something that may never come.
