Mmm, yeah
When I was just a baby, mama sat me on her knee
She told me "Boy you listen there's a lot you oughta see
A lot of pretty women, gonna try and tie you down
You don't know what you're missin' if you never look around"

Move on, that's what she told me
Move on, mmm yeah
Move on, whoo oh, oh
Move on, I'm leavin' on my way

Told you that forever was a word I couldn't say
I don't know 'bout tomorrow 'cause I'm livin' for today
You're every inch a lady and you'll always have my love
You listen, you can hear, her voice is callin' from above

Move on, that's what she told me
Move on, keep on movin'
Move on, oh oh, oh
Move on, I'm leavin' on my way

The time is at hand
The day is upon us
There's no need to say goodbye
You don't understand
But babe I don't want you to cry
Move on

The time is at hand
The day is upon us
There's no need to say goodbye
You don't understand
But babe I don't want you to cry
Move on

Move on, mmm yeah
Move on, mmm yeah
Move on, whoo oh, oh, oh
Move on, (what) you got to move on, whoo oh
You got to move on, whoo oh oh
