[Chorus: Michael + Jackson 5]
Ooh, ooh, moving violation
Moving violation, you been movin'...ah
You ran a stop sign, moving violation
Moving violation
When you gave him what was mine
Gave him what was mine
Moving Violation
Moving violation, you been movin'...
Ain't nothin' you can say (Ah)
Moving violation
Moving violation
Gave your love away
[Verse 1: Michael + Jermaine]
I put you behind the wheel
And you drove me out of my mind
You've been careless with my love
Hurt me a thousand times
And that's a moving violation
[Chorus 2: Jackson 5 + (Jermaine) + Michael]
Moving violation, you been movin', ah
(You ran a stop sign)
Moving Violation
Moving violation
(When you gave him what was mine)
Moving Violation
Moving violation, you been movin'
You ran a red light - Ah
Moving Violation
Moving violation
Let him hold you tight
[Post-Chorus: Michael + (Jackson 5)]
Girl, I'm a witness (Ah-ah)
Girl, I'm a witness (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, Oh!)
[Bridge: Michael + Jermaine + (Jackson 5)]
Oh! I placed you high above the rest
I gave you my, my very best
But you played a game
It was just an act
And you gave your love when I turned my back
You pushed me past my limits
(Back back, pushing me back, pushing me back)
More than a heart can stand
(Back back, pushing me back, pushing me back)
But I saw you standing there
(Yes he did, now)
Giving him your hand
You gave him your hand
And that's a moving violation
[Outro: Jackson 5 + Michael]
Moving violation, you been movin'
You should have read the sign - Ah
Moving violation
When you gave him what was mine
Moving violation
Stop! Red light
You should have made him stop
Stop! Red light
Ooh, red light
Stop! Red light - moving violation
You should have made him stop
You been movin'. Stop! Red light - moving violation
Said, there’s a red light
You been movin'. Stop! Red light - moving violation
You should have made him put on the brakes
You been movin'. Stop!
Ooh, it’s Moving Violation. You should’ve read the signs...
Moving Violation. When you gave him what was mine. Oh!
Stop! Red light - moving violation
Should’ve read the signs
You been movin'. Stop! Red light - moving violation
You ran a red light!
You been movin'. Stop! Red light - moving violation
You been movin'. Stop! Red light - moving violation
