Gotta Move
Tamia · Other Songs - Tamia
Every now and then
I seem to get this funny feelin'
When it comes to me and you
Can't say how or when
But your love keeps takin' over
And I don't know what to do
[B-sec:]
Well, I think that you oughta let me know what
What you're gonna do
'Cause time's wasting, baby much too fast and
I need to know if it's true
(So baby let me know)
[Hook:]
Baby, let me know if you want me
I really wanna know if you want me
And baby, if you don't tell me something
I gotta move on
'Cause everybody needs a little lovin'
And you're the only one that I wanna be with
I'm sorry if you don't tell me something
But I gotta move on
[Verse:]
Baby, understand
I need more than conversation,
I need action from a man
'Cause I'll do all I can
To keep our love from going under
Now it's time you take a stand
[B-sec:]
Well, I think that you oughta let me know what
What you're gonna do
'Cause time's wasting, baby much too fast and
I need to know if it's true
(So baby let me know)
[Hook:]
Baby, let me know if you want me
I really wanna know if you want me
And baby, if you don't tell me something
I gotta move on
'Cause everybody needs a little lovin'
And you're the only one that I wanna be with
I'm sorry if you don't tell me something
But I gotta move on
