Levon Helm You Better Move On lyrics

You ask me to give up the hand of the girl I love
You tell me I'm not the man she's worthy of
But who are you to tell her who to love?
That's up to her, yes and the Lord above
You better move on

Well, I know you can buy her fancy clothes and a diamond ring
But I believe she's happy with me without those things
Still you beg me oh to set her free
My friend that will never be
You better move on

I can't blame you for loving her
But can't you understand that she's my girl
And I'm never gonna let her go
â€~Cause I'm the one who loves her so

I think you'd better go on now I'm getting mighty mad

You ask me to give up the only love I've ever had
Maybe I would but I love her so
I'm never gonna let her go
You better move on

You better move on
You better move on
You better move on
You better move on

You better move on
You better move on
You better move on
You better move on
