Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everyone knew, but me, that soon you would be
Calling it off and gone
Everyone pitied me (Yeah), had so much sympathy (Yeah)
They didn't think I'd be strong
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm, oh, I'm pulling on (Pulling)
Yeah (Moving), I'm moving on
(I'm pulling) I'm pulling on
(Moving) I'm pulling on in
[Verse 2]
If I'd meant to you what you led me to believe
Then, baby, you wouldn't be gone, no
Turned your back on me (Freezing), just as cold as you can be (Yeah)
I ain't been sitting here all alone
[Chorus]
Baby, 'cause I'm, hey, I'm pulling on (Pulling)
Yeah (Moving), you know I'm moving
(I'm pulling) Oh, yes I am
(Moving) Moving on
(Pulling, pulling, pulling, pulling)
[Bridge]
I'm pulling harder and harder
I'm moving higher and higher
I'm pulling harder and harder
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm (Pulling), I'm pulling on
(Moving) Moving on in
(I'm pulling) I'm pulling on
(Moving) Moving
[Verse 3]
So glad I'm free, I found a man for me
Let me tell you while you're moving on
Instead of begging you, I should have helped you
Pack your bags and move along, oh, 'cause
[Chorus]
I'm (Pulling), pulling on
(Moving) Moving on in
(I'm pulling) Oh
(Moving) Moving
[Outro]
(Moving higher, pulling harder)
(Moving) Higher, (Higher) moving
(Pulling) Pulling, (Harder) harder
(Moving) Pulling, (Higher) higher
(Pulling) Pulling, (Harder) harder
(Moving) Pulling, (Higher) higher
(Pulling) Moving, (Harder) harder
(Moving) Pulling, (Higher) higher
(Pulling) Moving, (Harder) harder
(Moving) Moving, (Higher) higher
(Pulling) Pulling, (Harder) harder
(Moving) Yeah, (Higher) pulling
(Pulling) Harder, (Harder) higher
(Moving) Harder (Higher) higher
(Pulling) Pulling, (Harder) moving
(Moving) Pulling, (Higher) harder
(Pulling) Pulling, (Harder) higher
(Moving) Moving, (Higher) higher
(Pulling) Higher, (Harder) higher
(Moving) Higher, (Higher) yeah
(Pulling) Yeah, (Harder) yeah
(Moving) Go ahead, (Higher) higher
(Pulling) Yeah, (Harder) go ahead, high
(Moving higher, pulling) Pulling, (Harder) harder
(Moving) Moving, (Higher) harder
(Pulling) Pulling, (Harder) higher
(Moving higher) Moving, hey, higher
(Pulling) Pulling, (Harder) harder
(Moving) Harder, (Higher) harder
(Pulling) Well
