Moving Mountains
Usher · Now That's What I Call Music, Vol. 28 [2008]
Ooh
Try my boo
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh
Now, now she loved me, shawty I loved her
Used to jump up in the maybach and roll out
Used to care, she used to share
The love that she used to give me can't be found
I lost my way, she said she'd stay
And lately I've been sleeping with a ghost
My stock is down and out, I used to be worth my weight in gold
That was before a great depression kicked in and rocked us
And that was before the hurricane came in and stopped us
I told you to leave, but you lied to me
When you said that, "baby no worries I promise to get us back".
I know sorries, just wouldn't do it
Her heart is obliterated, I'm trying to try my boo,
But it's like moving mountains...
It's like moving mountains... hey.
But I keep climbing and hoping things would change
And the sky turns gray,
and the water from the rain washes progress away.
It's like moving mountains...
It's like moving mountains...
Well baby why you just leave me?
Just leave me be.
Just leave me.
Just leave me be.
Why you just leave me.
Just leave me be.
Why you just leave me.
Just leave me be, ooh.
She, she don't touch me, I don't touch her
We rarely even ever say a word.
I really want to give her everything she deserves
But the bad took away the good.
She thinks that I'm full of it, arguments, always pissed, man I'm tired
Every kiss that I missed, girl you know I'm trying.
You never believe it when I say, and I never believe it when you say
"I love you", and I shouldn't complain about it
I should take it like a man and walk about it
Cause we will never be the same, ooh.
I've been standing in gas, and you have been the flames.
I know sorry just wouldn't do it
Her heart is obliterated, I'm trying to get through
Got to move this mountain.
It's like moving mountains... hey
But I keep climbing and hoping things would change
And the sky turns gray, and the water from the rain washes progress away
It's like moving mountains...
It's like moving mountains...
Well baby why you just leave me?
Just leave me be.
Just leave me.
Just leave me be.
Why you just leave me.
Just leave me be.
Why you just leave me.
Just leave me be, ooh.
This must be a slow death that I'm traveling on,
Feels so wrong, I'm barely holdin' on.
And these hills that I'm traveling on
She ain't showin' me love, I'm down on my luck.
I know sorry just wouldn't do it
Her heart is obliterated, I'm trying to try my boo
But it's like moving mountains...
It's like moving mountains... moving this mountain ... hey.
But I keep climbing and hoping things would change
And the sky turns gray, and the water from the rain washes progress away
It's like moving mountains...
It's like moving mountains...
Well baby why you just leave me?
Just leave me be.
Just leave me.
Just leave me be.
Why you just leave me.
Just leave me be.
Why you just leave me.
Just leave me be, ooh.
Moving Mountains - Usher
Usher's "Moving Mountains" stands as a vibrant highlight from the 2008 Now That's What I Call Music compilation, capturing the pop-rhythm energy that defined his career during this era. The track showcases his signature smooth vocal delivery layered over an upbeat, danceable production typical of late-2000s R&B and pop hits. As part of his extensive discography, the song reflects his ability to blend romantic themes with high-energy choreography and sound, appealing to a broad audience. It serves as a testament to his enduring influence on contemporary music, bridging the gap between his earlier ballad-focused work and the more rhythmic, club-oriented tracks that characterized his later years.
