Lyrics

Oh, baby, now can't you see?

It ain't the same as it used to be

Time has moved and caused a change

And seeing you, I feel so strange

I'm movin' out

Oh, I'm pullin' out

I'm gettin' out, oh

I gotta get on out

I'm high on the ledge and it's gettin' me uptight

I'm feelin' the edge, it ain't gonna do me right

Everyone around me wants to do me harm

I think it's time to start movin' on

I'm movin' out

Oh, I'm pullin' out

I'm gettin' out, yeah

I gotta get on out

If what you need is what you want

And what you want is what you need

Well, take it, oh yeah

But I don't want to 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 movin' out

I got to get on out

Roll it

Turn it back, baby

I'm goin' home to 23rd Street

'Cause I've been uptown

Usin' my own two feet

Listen, what's goin' bad?

I can't decide

What's goin' on just ain't right

I'm movin' out

Oh, I'm pullin' out

Yeah, I'm gettin' out, yeah

I'm gettin' out
