Move Your Body
Xpansions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lady, would you lay?
Lady, would you lay?
I'll rub them all away
Lady, lay your body
Let me rub the lonely places all away
Lady, lay your body
Let me rub the lonely
I wanna rub your loneliness away
Last night I think I fell in love with you
It was from a window watching you around my way
I was too shy to even call to you
So I wrote some words that made it easier to say
Lady, would you lay?
Lady, lay your body
Let me rub the lonely places all away
Lady, lay your body
Let me rub the lonely
I wanna rub your loneliness away
Visions of you around my bed
Nothing but roses when you rest your lovely head
And I'll put my everything in you
You know I'm the only one who knows just what to do, lady
Lady, lay your body
Let me rub the lonely places all away
Lady, lay your body
Let me rub the lonely
I wanna rub your loneliness away
You've waited, oh so long for me to come your way
But now I'm here and sadness is gone away
Lay lady lay, lay, won't you lay with me?
Lady, would you lay?
Lady, lay your body
Let me rub the lonely places all away
Lady, lay your body
Let me rub the lonely
I wanna rub your loneliness away
Lady, lay your body
Let me rub the lonely places all away
Lady, lay your body
Let me rub the lonely
I wanna rub your loneliness away




All away
Hey hey, I wanna rub them all away

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Xpansions' "Move Your Body" convey a message of desire and loneliness. The mysterious narrator, who describes himself as being in love with someone who lives nearby, is too shy to approach her in person. Instead, he sings about wanting to "rub" her "lonely places all away," offering to soothe her emotional pain. The lyrics are sensual, evocative, and offer a promise of intimacy between the two individuals.


The verses capture a vivid, erotic imagery of the singer's fantasies about her. He envisions roses and intimacy between them, and he wants her to lay down with him, so they can share a tender moment. The chorus refrain of "Lady, lay your body" is catchy and repetitive, and it conveys the message of the song with emotional intensity.


The song overall carries a positive and upbeat vibe. It is full of infectious energy with catchy beats and motivating drum patterns that encourage the listener to dance along with the music. As a result, "Move Your Body" became a massive hit, reaching the top 5 on both the US and UK dance charts in 1990.
