You Better Move On
Love's Defiant Stand: You Better Move On
Lyrics
You ask me to give up the hand of the girl I love
You are asking me to let go of the girl I love.
You tell me I'm not the man she's worthy of
You claim I'm not the man deserving of her.
But who are you to tell her who to love?
Questioning your authority to dictate her love choices.
That's up to her, yes, and the Lord above
Stating that her romantic decisions are between her and a higher power.
You better move on
An emphatic statement advising the person to move on.
Well I know you can buy her fancy clothes and diamond rings
Acknowledging material possessions but asserting her happiness without them.
But I believe she's happy with me without those things
Despite your wealth, she finds joy with me.
Still you beg me to set her free
Receiving pleas to release her, rejecting the request.
But my friend, that will never be
Firmly stating that he will not let her go.
You better move on
Reiteration of the advice to move on.
Now I don't blame you for lovin' her
Acknowledging the person's love for her.
But can't you understand? Man, she's my girl
Asserting that she is his girl, emphasizing possessiveness.
And I, I'm never never ever gonna let her go
Expressing a strong commitment to keeping her.
'Cause I, yeah, I love her so
Declaring intense love for her.
Well I think you better go now, I'm gettin' mighty mad
Indicating growing anger and frustration.
You ask me to give up the only love I've ever had
Requesting to give up the only love he has ever experienced.
Maybe I would, oh, but I love her so
Expressing a potential willingness to let her go, but love prevails.
I'm never gonna let her go
Reiterating the determination not to release her.
You better move on (you better move on)
Repeated strong advice for the person to move on.
Yeah, you better move on (you better move on)
-Yeah, you better move on (you better move on)
-Yeah, you better move on
