The sun is setting

And you're right here by my side

And the movie is playing

But we won't be watching tonight

Every look, every touch

Makes me wanna give you my heart

I be crushin' on you, baby

Stay the way you are

'Cause I never knew, I never knew

You could hold moonlight in your hands

'Til the night I held you

You are my moonlight

Moonlight

I kiss his fingertips

As I'm wishing he's all mine

He's giving me Elvis

With some James Dean in his eyes

Puts his lips on my neck

Makes me want to give him my body

I be fallin' for you, baby

And I just can't stop

'Cause I never knew, I never knew

You could hold moonlight in your hands

'Til the night I held you

You are my moonlight

Moonlight

Baby, I be fallin'

You're my moonlight

Moonlight

He's so bossy

He makes me dance

Tryna sit in the back of his whip

And just cancel my plans

Sweet like candy

But he's such a man

He knows just what it does

When he's holding me tight

And he calls me "Moonlight" too
