Blue eyed dressed for every situation Moving through the doorway of a nation Pick me up and shake the doubt Baby I can't do without Move out, don't mess around Move out, you bring me down Move out, how you get about Don't make a sound just move out I remember only for an hour Move right through me can you feel the power I don't know what's going on It scares me but it won't be long Move out, don't mess around Move out, you bring me down Move out, how you get about Don't make a sound just move out Now he's in control he is my lover Nations stand against him he's your brother Been a long time, been a long time now I'll get to you somehow Move out, don't mess around Move out, you bring me down Move out, how you get about Don't make a sound just move out Move out, don't mess around Move out, you bring me down Move out, how you get about Don't make a sound just move out
