LYRICS:
And so you're single once more
And you know it's for the best
But still, he's always on your mind
You try and search for some peace
But the you that's not depressed seems hard to find

Well, I know your pain
Cause when I broke up with Dave
I cried each night and cursed the break of dawn

But then I moved on
Found strength to persist
Forgot how my lips felt on fire when we kissed
All of those precious mem'ries
Are hell to dwell upon
So learn from me and Dave
Be brave
Move on

And yes, I know that it's hard
But you can't stay home and brood
Or else you'll soon become obsessed
And then one day you'll wake up
And you'll find his face tattooed across your chest
Like I have Dave's
When I do this, he smiles

And listen:
Your guy was great
But he sure as hell wasn't Dave
So you needn't look so gloomy and withdrawn

You have to move on
Find ways to get by
And soon, if you're strong, you'll get old and then you'll die
And even those nights you see him
While camping on his lawn
Don't wallow in distress
Repress
Move on

Don't try to hug him
Don't let yourself be weak
Don't say his name
Ev'ry time you Dave

And if you take this advice
And you drink a ton of wine
I know you're bound to muddle through
And in a decade or two
You'll be out there feeling fine instead of blue
Which was Dave's fav'rite color
Have I told you about Dave?
He's the guy I'm totally over!

You have to move on... like me!
Find ways to work through
And know words like "love" prob'ly don't pertain to you
Bottle up ev'ry feeling
Till they seem as good as gone
Because he'll never want you back
Unless it looks like you've moved on

You have to move on
So you can win him back
Oh honey, move on!
But never lose hope that you're gonna be together
And you'll have a million babies
And he'll stay with you forever
And ever
And ever
And ever
But first...
You have to move on
