But If She Moves You
Samantha Sang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well it′s happened
Everybody sees you in the movies
Pictures in the Times and in Variety
I just want to be your girl
Rona Barrett says
You're living with a groovy English lover
Whose claim to fame is underneath the covers
I just want to be your girl
But if she moves you
Give her all the love you have, don′t let love die
Everybody loves you baby, so do I
You don't have no time for me
But if she moves you
Take her to your heart and never let love die
Everybody loves you baby, so do I
You don't have your mind on me
If she wants you
More than my heart wants you, more than life itself
Listen to your heart because you know yourself
Everybody knows my love
But if she moves you
Give her all the love you have, don′t let love die
Everybody loves you baby, so do I
You don′t have no time for me
But if she moves you
Take her to your heart and never let love die
Everybody loves you baby, so do I
You don't have your mind on me
Well it′s happened
Everybody sees you in the movies
Listen to my heartbeat pounding through me
Anything is [?] for your love
But if she moves you
Give her all the love you have, don't let love die
Everybody loves you baby, so do I
You don′t have no time for me
But if she moves you
Take her to your heart and never let love die
Everybody loves you baby, so do I
You don't have your mind on me
But if she moves you
Give her all the love you have, don′t let love die
Everybody loves you baby, so do I
But you don't have no time for me
Ooh
No time, no time, no time (You don't have no time for me)
Oh, you don′t have no time for me




Ooh
No time, no time, no time (You don′t have no time for me)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Samantha Sang's song "But If She Moves You" describe a scenario where the singer is in love with a movie star who doesn't seem to have time for her. The singer is aware of rumors about the star's romantic life, namely that he is living with someone, but still declares her love for him and begs him to take notice of her. She acknowledges that if the other woman can make him happier, she should give him all her love, but also states that everyone loves him, including herself. The song ends with the singer imploring him to listen to her heartbeat and consider how far she is willing to go for his love.


The lyrics of the song don't necessarily come from Sang's own experience or perspective, but rather reflect a common theme in popular culture, which is the idea of an unattainable celebrity crush. The lyrics demonstrate the singer's vulnerability and insecurity, as well as her intense feelings for the movie star. The use of names like Rona Barrett, a well-known entertainment journalist from the 1970s, and Variety, a popular trade magazine for the entertainment industry, suggests that the song is set in a specific time and place, and that the singer is aware of the star's every move.
