Monkey Trap

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...
