Lyrics: Arthur Alexander
Music: Arthur Alexander
Played by the Healy-Treece Band in the early 1980s with Bill Kreutzmann on drums.
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, thank the Lord above
You better move on
Well I know you can buy her fancy clothes and diamond rings
But I believe she can be happy with me without those things
Still you tell me to set her free
My friend, that will never be
You better move on
I don't blame you for loving her
Don't you understand, yes, she is my girl
And I'm never gonna let her go
'Cause I, oh, I love her so
Well I think you better go 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
I don't blame you for loving her
But don't you understand, man, she is my girl
And I'm never ever gonna let her go
'Cause I, I love her so
Well I think you better go 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
