Lyrics
Girl I’m so tired of crying over you
Tired of crying over a past relationship
Late at night, alone in my room
Reflecting on the situation alone at night
With no one else to talk to
Feeling isolated with no one to confide in
You see we had a thang but
Referencing a past romantic involvement
Good thangs don't last forever
Acknowledging that good things don't last forever
Move on, move on, move on
Repetition emphasizing the need to move on
It’s time to move on
-Move on, move on, move on
-It’s time to move on
-Move on, move on, move on
-It’s time to move on
-Move on, move on, move on
-It’s time to move on
-Keep on movin’
Encouraging to keep moving forward, not looking back
Don’t look back now
-Keep on movin’
-Don’t look back now
-Keep on movin’
-Don’t look back now
-Keep on movin’
-Don’t look back now
-Since you left
Expressing a newfound determination to socialize and find someone new
I been nowhere to be found
-But tonight me and the boys
-Are dressing up and going out
-So I slide on
-My shiny black Cuban heel boots
-Cause’ tonight
-I’m looking for somebody new
-My life is better without you baby
Celebrating the freedom and choices without the past partner
Now I can do whatever I wanna do
-(Cause’ I can do what I wanna do yea)
-Like go out late and party all night a long
-(All night long)
Highlighting the time it took to move on but emphasizing resilience
It took forever just for me to get over you
-But in the end we always find a way to move on
-Move on, move on, move on
Reiteration of the importance of moving on
It’s time to move on
-Move on, move on, move on
-It’s time to move on
-Move on, move on, move on
-It’s time to move on
-Move on, move on, move on
-It’s time to move on
-Keep on movin’
Encouragement to keep moving without dwelling on the past
Don’t look back now
-Keep on movin’
-Don’t look back now (move on)
-Keep on movin’
-Don’t look back now
-Keep on movin’
-Don’t look back now
-DJ set my mind and body
Shifting focus to a new experience, possibly dancing and meeting someone
To a whole ‘nother tune
-Rockin’ the dance floor with a stranger
-To an old house groove
-The way she twirl and twist her hips
Describing the attraction to someone new but acknowledging potential risks
To the kick I’m enthused
-If I fall in love again I'm a fool
-My life is better without you baby
Reiterating the improved life without the previous partner
Now I can do whatever I wanna do
-(Cause’ I can do what I wanna do yea)
-Like go out late and party all night a long
-(All night long)
-It took forever just for me to get over you
-But in the end we always find a way to move on
-Move on, move on, move on
Emphasizing the necessity of moving on for personal growth
It’s time to move on
-Move on, move on, move on
-It’s time to move on
-Move on, move on, move on
-It’s time to move on
-Move on, move on, move on
-It’s time to move on
-Keep on movin’
Continued encouragement to move forward without looking back
Don’t look back now
-Keep on movin’
-Don’t look back now (move on)
-Keep on movin’
-Don’t look back now
-Keep on movin’
-Don’t look back now
-Movin’ on, movin’ on
Repetition of the theme of moving on, reinforcing the message
Movin’ on, movin’ on
-Movin’ on, movin’ on
-Movin’ on, movin’ on
-Movin’ on, movin’ on
-Movin’ on, movin’ on
-Movin’ on, movin’ on
-Movin’ on, movin’ on
-Keep moving on
-Movin’ on, movin’ on
-Movin’ on, movin’ on
-Movin’ on, movin’ on
-Movin’ on, movin’ on
-Movin’ on, movin’ on
-Movin’ on, movin’ on
-Movin’ on, movin’ on
-Movin’ on, movin’ on
