Move Over
(Janis Joplin)
You say that it's over baby
You say that it's over now
But still you hang around me, come on
Won't you move over
You know that I need a man
You know that I need a man
But when I ask you to you just tell me
That maybe you can
Please dontcha do it to me babe, no!
Please dontcha do it to me baby
Either take this love I offer
Or honey let me be
I ain't quite a ready for walking, no no no no
I ain't quite a ready for walking
And whatcha gonna do with your life
Life all just dangling?
Oh, yeah, make up your mind, honey
You're playing with me, hey hey hey
Make up your mind, darling
You're playing with me, come on now!
Now either be my loving man
I said-a let me honey, let me be, yeah!
You say that it's over, baby, no
You say that it's over now
But still you hang around me, come on
Won't you move over
You know that I need a man, honey, I told you so
You know that I need a man
But when I ask you to you just tell me
That maybe you can
Hey! Please dontcha do it to me, babe, no!
Please dontcha do it to me baby
Either take this love I offer
Honey let me be
I said won't you, won't you let me be?
Honey, you're teasing me
Yeah, you're playing with my heart, dear
I believe you're toying with my affections, honey
I can't take it no more baby
And furthermore, I don't intend to
I'm just tired of hanging from the end of a string, honey
You expect me to fight like a goddamned mule
Wah, wah, wah, wah, honey
