The Hollies

You Better Move On

(Arthur Alexander Jr.)

Track 3 on album 'Stay With The Hollies' January 1964





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 who to love?

That's up to her, yes, and the Lord above.

'better move on.



Well, I know you can buy her fancy clothes and a diamond rings.

I believe she'd be happy with me without those things.

Still, you beg me to set her free,

but, my friend, that will never be.

You better move on.



I can't blame you for loving her,

but can't you understand, man, she's my girl?

and I-I-I-I'm never gonna let her go.

'Cuz I-I-I-I love her so.



Well, let me tell you how.



I think you better go now I'm getting mighty mad.

You ask me to give up the only love that I ever had.

Maybe I would, but I love her so.

I'm never gonna let her go.



You better move on.

You better move on.

You better move on.
