[Chorus:]
Why'd you think that I
Would sit here and wait in vain?
Baby, I'm movin' on
'Cause what I want from love
Is the pleasure and not the pain
Baby I'm movin' on

[Verse 1:]
Didn't I hear you say
That your love would never change
But I know that it's over
But when the story ends
Why should we both pretend
When we know there's another

[Pre-Chorus:]
Tell me how, tell me who
Just tell me the truth
Tell me why did you lie
I can see it in your eyes
Tell me where, tell me when
Cause it never should have been at all
But it looks like it's over

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
I remember when
When I was there for you
Where were you last winter?
Cause the thoughts run through my mind
Of all the times you lied
And that's why it's over

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
How could you do this to me?
'Cause now I gotta leave
Why did you tell me those lies?
And now I gotta say bye bye
Bye bye, baby yeah

[Chorus]

Where'd we go wrong?
Now, you left me all alone
Hey, but it's alright 'cause I'm movin' on
Yes I am
Baby, I'm movin' (baby, I'm movin')
Baby, I'm movin' (baby, I'm movin')
Baby, I'm movin', movin', oh, baby I am movin' on
Baby I am...

CeCe Peniston is an R&B and dance singer/songwriter known for her international ‘90s pop hit “Finally.” The Phoenix, Arizona native got her start doing demos and background vocals for rapper Overweight Pooch. Though she didn’t have a lot of time to work on her debut album Finally, it still yielded multiple hit singles like “Keep On Walkin,” “We Got a Love Thang,” and the sentimental soul ballad “Inside That I Cried” that landed in the Top 20 Billboard charts in Pop, Dance and/or R&B categories.

For her 1994 follow-up, Thought Ya Knew, CeCe forged into more R&B territory with the Soulshock & Karlin-produced lead single “I’m In The Mood”. The album also yielded the hit singles “I’m Not Over You” and “Hit By Love”.

Label shake-ups affected the success of her third album I’m Movin' On, but the singles “Movin' On” and her remake of Jocelyn Brown’s dance classic “Somebody Else’s Guy” still made impact on both sides of the Atlantic.
