Instantly recognizable by the melodic synth orchestration, it comes as no surprise that keyboard player and co-writer, Vince Clarke, was a founding member of Depeche Mode and wrote most of the songs on that band’s first album.
[Verse 1]
Blue eyed dressed for every situation
Moving through the doorway of a nation
Pick me up and shake the doubt
Baby, I can't do without
[Chorus]
Don't mess around
You bring me down
How you get about
Don't make a sound
Just move out
[Verse 2]
I remember only for an hour
Move right through me
Can you feel the power
I don't know what's going on
It scares me
But it won't be long
[Chorus]
Don't mess around
You bring me down
How you get about
Don't make a sound
Just move out
[Refrain]
Move out, move out, move out
Move out, move out, move out
[Verse 3]
Now he's in control
He is my lover
Nations stand against him
He's your brother
Been a long time
Been a long time now
I'll get to you somehow
[Chorus]
Move out
Don't mess around
Move out
You bring me down
Move out
How you get about
Don't make a sound
Just move out
[Chorus]
Move out
Don't mess around
Move out
You bring me down
Move out
How you get about
Don't make a sound
Just move out
[Refrain]
Move out, move out, move out
[Chorus]
Move out
Don't mess around
Move out
You bring me down
Move out
How you get about
Don't make a sound
Just move out
[Verse 4]
Now he's in control
He is my lover
Nations stand against him
He's your brother
Been a long time
Been a long time now
I'll get to you somehow
[Chorus]
Move out
Don't mess around
Move out
You bring me down
Move out
How you get about
Don't make a sound
Just move out
[Chorus]
Move out
Don't mess around
Move out
You bring me down
Move out
How you get about
Don't make a sound
Just move out
