I don't wanna get left behind

Gonna love my baby all the time

If I don't wanna get left alone

I gotta move on down my baby's home

And if my baby isn't there

I'm gonna fill my gap and comb my hair

Gotta move, gotta move

Gotta move, gotta move



All my life I've had to move

Always failed to stay in school

As I move down this very long road

Sometimes I wished I'd stayed at home

Where I'm going no one knows

Only know I gotta go

You gotta move, gotta move

Gotta move, gotta move



I don't wanna get left behind

Gonna love my baby all the time

If I don't wanna get left alone

I gotta move on down my baby's home

And if baby isn't there

I'm gonna brush my boots and comb my hair

I gotta move, gotta move

I gotta move, gotta move
