Lyrics

Oh baby

Now can't you see

It ain't the same as it used to be

Time has moved and it's caused a change

And seeing you out feels so strange

I'm moving out

Oh, I'm pulling out

I'm gettin' out

I gotta get on out

I'm high on the ledge

That's gettin' me uptight

I'm feelin' the edge

And ain't gonna do me right

Everyone 'round me wants to do me harm

I think it's time to start moving on

I'm moving out

Oh, I'm pulling out

I'm gettin' out, yeah

I got to get on out

If what you need is what you want

Then what you want is what you need

We'll take it, ooh yeah

But I don't wanna sit around if you're gonna fake it

Huh

You messed up my mind in every which way

I try to come back, but I can't stay

I'm moving out, whoa

I got to get on out

Roll it

Ow

I'm taking it back, baby

I'm going home to 23rd street

'Cause I been up town using my own two feet

Listen

What's good or bad

I can't decide

But what's going on just ain't my ride

I'm movin' out, whoa

I'm pullin' out, yeah

I'm gettin' out, yeah

I'm gettin' out
