Now you want me to give up the hand of the girl I love And you tell me I’m not the man she’s worth to come But a-who are you to tell her who to love Well that’s up to her, guess and the Lord above Now you’d better move on
Oh I know you can buy a fancy cozy and diamond ring But I believe she’s a happy with me without those things Still you beg me ooooh to set her free My thing it’ll never be So you’d better move on
I can’t blame you for loving her But can’t you understand that she’s mine, my girl And I know that I never, never gonna let her go ‘Cause I love her so
I guess you’d better go now, I’m getting mighty mad You want me to give up the only love I’ve ever had Maybe I would, oh, but I love her so I never gonna let her go So you’d better move on
