[Verse 1]
Everyone knew but me, that soon
You would be calling it off and gone
Everyone pitied me, had so much sympathy
They didn't think i'd be strong
[Chorus]
Oh, i'm... oh, i'm pulling on... (pulling!)
Yeah! (moving!) i'm moving on
(I'm... Pulling!) pulling on! (moving!) pulling on in
[Verse 2]
If i'd meant to you what you lead me to believing
Baby, you wouldn't be gone, no
Turned your back on me (freezing!)
Just as cold as you can be... (yeah!)
I ain't been sitting here all alone
[Chorus]
Baby, cause i'm... hey, I'm pulling on... (pulling!)
Yeah... (moving!) and I'm moving
(I'm... Pulling!) oh, yes I am! (moving!) moving on
(Pulling! pulling! pulling! Pulling!)
[Bridge]
I'm pulling harder and harder
I'm moving higher and higher
I'm pulling harder and harder
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm... (pulling!) I'm pulling on! (moving!) moving on in
(I'm... pulling!) pulling on! (moving) moving!
[Verse 3]
So glad i'm free, found a man for me
Let me tell you while you're moving on:
Instead of begging you
I should have helped you pack your bags
And move along! Oh, cause
[Chorus]
Oh, cause i'm... (pulling!) pulling on... (moving!) moving on in!
(I'm... pulling!) oh, oh, no! (moving!) moving
[Outro]
(Moving! Higher! pulling! Harder!)
(Moving!) higher! (higher!) moving!
(Pulling!) pulling! (harder!) harder!
(Moving!) pulling! (higher!) higher!
(Pulling!) pulling! (harder!) harder!
(Moving!) pulling! (higher!) higher!
(Pulling!) moving! (harder!) harder!
(Moving!) pulling! (higher!) higher!
(Pulling!) moving! (harder!) harder!
(Moving!) moving... (higher!) higher
(Pulling!) pulling... (harder!) harder
(Moving!) yeah... (higher!) pulling...
(Pulling!) harder... (harder!) and higher
(Moving!) harder... (higher!) higher...
(Pulling!) pulling... (harder!) moving
(Moving!) pulling! (higher!) harder!
(Pulling!) pulling! (harder!) higher!
(Moving!) moving! (higher!) higher!
(Pulling!) higher! (harder!) higher!
(Moving!) higher! (higher!) yeah!
(Pulling!) yeah! (harder!) yeah!
(Moving!) go ahead! (higher!) higher!
(Pulling!) yeah! (harder!) go ahead, high!
(Moving! higher! pulling!) pulling... (harder!) harder
(Moving!) moving... (higher!) harder...
(Pulling!) pulling... (harder!) higher
(Moving! higher!) moving, hey, higher
(Pulling!) pulling... (harder!) harder
(Moving!) harder
(Higher!) harder
(Pulling!) well
