"Movin' On" is a song by American singer Elliott Yamin from his self-titled debut album. It was released to U. S. online music retailers on February 27, 2007. A preview of the song was released to AOL on February 9. The song was not released as a single, rather as a pre-album release track. Despite this many fans thought this was the first single, and the song received a large amount of attention and high downloads. The song debuted at #61 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the chart week of 3-17-2007. This is Yamin's first appearance on the chart. He also has a #49 debut on the U. S. Pop charts. The song talks about getting tired of waiting on someone to want to take the relationship to the next level, and "movin on" to someone else. Elliott described the song as "a really upbeat mid-tempo song that you can dance to", and revealed it had been made before he left the American Idol tour on the summer of 2006 and was the first song recorded.[1]

When I think about you, baby, I can't help it (help it)
I lose all my focus, and I just can't stand it
I get so excited every time I hear your name (your name)
And you don't reciprocate, and it's a damn shame
Oh

See, all I'm trying to do, girl, is, is give you my time, and
You know you better not move too slow 'cause I'm moving on
I'll take the chance, and roll the dice
I might miss out on the love of my life

[Chorus]
'Cause you know it 
As time moves on, I won't always be around
And I'll be gone
And I won't always be down
'Cause I'm giving it up to you
And you know this much is true
As time moves on, consider me gone
Because I'm moving on

I know it sounds crazy, but I just can't do this (do this)
It feels like we're wasting time, so I'll get to it
When I look into your eyes, I can see right through you (through you)
And you don't feel the same way that I do
Oh

See, all I'm trying to do, girl, is, is give you my time, and (give you my time)
You know you better not move too slow 'cause I'm moving on, lady
I'll take the chance, and roll the dice
I might miss out on the love of my life

[Chorus]

I'm telling you, you really missed out on a good thing for sure
As a matter of fact, I'm glad I didn't walk through that door
I'm a better man for it
Said, I can learn from it or ignore it
You know I've seen it all before
Now your best friend's at my door

I'm moving on
Ooo (as time moves on)
Said, I'm moving on (as time moves on)
Yeah

'Cause you know it
As time moves on, I won't always be around (no, I won't)
And I'll be gone
And I won't always be down
'Cause I'm giving it up to you (no, no, no)
And you know this much is true
As time moves on, consider me gone
Because I'm moving on

I'm moving on, baby
I'm moving on, moving on
I'll be gone
Yes, I will
