I'm Moving On

John Lennon · Lennon - Signature Box [2010]

Save your sweet talk for when you score,

Keep your monday kisses for your glass lady,

I want the truth and nothing more,

I'm moving on, moving on you're getting phony,

You didn't have to tell a white lie,

You know you scored me for life,

Don't stick your fingers in my pie,

You know I'll see through your jive,

I want the truth and nothing more,

I'm moving on, moving on you're getting phony,

When you were angry you had love in your eyes,

when you were sad you had a dream in your voice,

But now your giving me your window smile,

I'm moving on, moving on you're getting phony.

I'm Moving On

Released on John Lennon's 2010 Signature Box compilation, 'I'm Moving On' stands as a poignant reflection on the artist's personal journey following his divorce from Yoko Ono. The track captures a period of introspection and resilience, characteristic of Lennon's later solo work which often blended acoustic intimacy with social commentary. While not part of his major studio albums from the 1970s, the song aligns with the themes found in his final recorded material, exploring the complexities of moving forward after significant life changes. The recording serves as a testament to Lennon's enduring ability to translate personal emotion into universal musical expression, maintaining the melodic clarity and lyrical depth that defined his solo career.
