Lyrics

Move

Shake, shake, quiver, quiver

Been awakened by a cold shiver

Winds blow and change, change

Sweet rushing through my veins

Good lord, I just might die

Taken over by the high tide

Feel the rain against my skin

Drown my soul in the water again

Move on me

Move on me

I think you oughta make a move on me

Move on me

Move on me

I think you oughta make a move on me

Move on me

Move on me

Let the water make a move on me

Move on me

Move on me

I think you oughta make a move on me, mmm

Shake, shake, shoulda learned

Get too close and I might get burned

By the sweet heat, the sweet lies

So betrayed by the look in your eyes

Good lord, I know so well

I wanna get to heaven with a taste of hell

Still on my lips and down within

Quench my soul in your water again

Oh, in your water again

Come on and move on me

Move on me

I think you oughta make a move on me

Move on me

Move on me

I think you oughta make a move on me

Move on me

Move on me

Let the water make a move on me

Move on me

Move on me

I think you oughta make a move on me, mmm

Give me two hands I can hold

I'll tell you things I've never told

If you move on me

If you move on me, oh ah

I need something I can feel

Something pure, something real

Move on me

Make a move on me

Make a move on me

Won't cha make a move on me

Won't cha make a move on me, yeah

Make on move on me

Move on me

Move on me

I think you oughta make a move on me

Move on me

Move on me

I think you oughta make a move on me

Move on me

Move on me

Move on me

Move on me
