Píseň: You Gotta Move

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
Night Beat
You gotta move, you gotta move
 Baby, You gotta move
 If you keep on mistreatin' me baby
 You gotta move
 If you keep on doggin' me baby
 You gotta move


 My mother told me, long time ago
 Watch out for women, oh they hurt you so
 And if you keep on hurting me like you're doing
 You gotta move


 I said you gotta move
 You gotta move,
 Move on, you gotta move


 Let me tell you baby
 I love you baby to my heart
 You keep on mistreatin' me baby, oh we got to part
 I hate to let you go baby,
 But oh, you gotta move


 Let me tell you one more time: you gotta move
 Gotta move, get away from me
 Baby, oh, you gotta move
 Now if you keep on hurting my heart gal
 You gotta move


 One more time, move one
 You gotta move from me baby
 You gotta move
 I hate to let you go baby
 But O, you gotta move
