I’m Not Moving Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If you feel it, do it
You don't need a reason
For all you know it could be good (Could be good for you)
For you to show your feelings (Ahh)
Ooh, don't just leave them
Do the things you believe in, 'cause it's alright
Don't worry, turn around (Don't worry, turn around)
I will still be here

[Chorus]
I'm not moving (I'm not going anywhere)
No, really, ah, you just try and push me out (Just try it)
No, I'm not moving (I'm not going anywhere)
No, I'm not going anywhere tonight

[Verse 2]
If you think it, say it (Ahh)
No one can stop you
Don't keep quiet, just 'cause you think you ought to
Feel free to shout it loud, speak your mind (Feel free to speak)
Spit it out

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm not moving (I'm not going anywhere)
No, really, ah, you just try and push me out (Just try it)
No, I'm not moving (I'm not going anywhere)
No, really, ah, there's no hurry, I can sit it out
So don't worry, turn around (Don't worry, turn around)
I will still be here
[Outro]
If it hurts, don't do it (Ahh)
'Cause no one can take you, make you drink
And no one can tell you what you think
Remember if your spirit starts to sink
Don't you worry, turn around
I will still be here

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
