You Better Move On (Alexander)


You better move on
Better move on

I think you'd better go right now I'm gonna go home
You ask me to give up the only girl I've ever had
You know my friend that is never gonna be
You see that I love her so I'll never ever let her go
Better move on, you better move on

You know I can't blame you for what hurt
Get this straight man you know she's my girl
And you know that I won't never never ever gonna set her free
'cause I I really love her so

You better move on
Better move on

I think you'd better go right now I'm gonna go home
You ask me to give up the only girl I've ever had
You know my friend that is never gonna be
You see that I love her so I'll never ever let her go
Better move on, you better move on

You know I can't blame you for what hurt
Get this straight man you know she's my girl
And you know that I won't never never ever gonna set her free
'cause I, I really love her so

other version


Now you ask me to give up the hand of the girl I love
You tell her I'm not the man she's worthy of
Now who are you to tell her who to love
My friend that is up to her yes and the Lord above

You better move on, better move on

I know you buy her fancy clothes and diamond rings
But I know that she is happy with me without those things
I heard you said to her that you are going to set her free
But that is never gonna be as long as you will be with me

You better move on, better move on

You know I can't blame you for wanting her
Get this straight man you know she's my girl
And you know that I will never never ever gonna set her free
'cause I, I really love her so

You better move on, better move on

I think you'd better go on now I'm going to go home
You ask me to give up the only girl I've ever had
You know my friend that is never going to be
You see that I love her so and I'll never ever let her go

You better move on, you better move on
Better move on, you better move on
Better move on, better move on

Rolling Stones version


You ask me to give up the hand of the girl I love
You tell me I'm not the man she's worthy of
But who are you to tell her who to love
That's up to her, yes and the Lord above
You better move on

Well I know you can buy her fancy clothes and diamond rings
But I believe she's happy without those things
Still you beg me to set her force
But my friend that will never be
You better move on

Now I don't blame you for loving her
But can't you understand man she's my girl
And I'll never ever gonna let her go
You better move on

Well I think you'd better go now, I'm getting mighty mad
You ask me to give up the only love I've ever had
Maybe I would, oh but I love her so
I'll never gonna let her go
You better move on
