Lyrics

Gotta Move Away
I woke up this morning my hair in my face
I played back my memory but it was erased
It seems I do nothing right
I wanna stay home tonight
But my landlady told me I gotta move away!

Gotta move away – yeah, yeah
Gotta move away – yeah, yeah
Gotta move away – yeah, yeah

I pulled on my trousers and crawled to the phone
I rang up my girlfriend but she wasn’t home
I don’t know just where I’ll go
I can’t think of anyone I know
I just can’t believe it, I gotta move away!

Gotta move away – yeah, yeah
Gotta move away – yeah, yeah
Gotta move away – yeah, yeah

I wish the landlady wouldn’t be so uptight
When after all, I’ve always treated her right
If she lets me stay, I promise, I’ll be real good
Or move into her place next week, if only I could
If only I could …

I moved in that weekend, she baked me a cake
She said don’t you worry now there’s no rent to pay
She said “We’ll get married real soon and we’ll start our own Baby Boom!”
I can’t wait to leave here, I gotta move away!

Gotta move away – yeah, yeah
Gotta move away – yeah, yeah
Gotta move away – yeah, yeah
