The Moon is My Friend

The moon is my friend
She disappears by day
But she comes at night again
And that's the kind of game I'd like to play

But when I'm with you my tongue's in knots
I can't look away from what you've got
I need the cover of the dark night sky to say
The things that I can't tell you in the day

I'm wanting you so bad
You're the one thing that I've got to have

The moon is my friend
A cool white swinging lantern
But I'm not like her I don't pretend
That my reflected fire doesn't burn

That's why when I'm with you my tongue's in knots
I can't look away boy from what you've got
I need the cover of the dark night sky to say
The things that I can't tell you in the day

And I'm wanting you so bad
You're the one thing that I've got to have
Yes I'm wanting you so bad
You're the one thing that I've got to have
I don't need nothing to eat I don't need to sleep
But if you come any closer I'm gonna go deep
Wanting you so bad

The moon is my friend
Swimming in the sky
But I've seen her descend
And that's the light that shines in your eyes

That's why when I'm with you my tongue's in knots
I can't look away from what you've got
I need the cover of the dark night sky to say
The things that I can't tell you in the day

And I'm wanting you so bad I'm wanting you
