MOONLIGHT Lyrics – Ian Asher

[Verse 1: Justin, Josh]
It’s in the moments
When your face is next to mine
And we don’t show it
But we’re thinking of the times
So put it in motion
My desires taking over my emotions, my emotions

[Pre-Chorus: Ken, Pablo]
Want you in every way
Want you to scream my name
With my hands around your waist

Yeah, I li-li-like

[Chorus: Stell, Justin]
Doing what we do in the moonlight
I be loving you baby all night
Baby you and me are shadows on the ceiling
That’s my favorite feeling
Yeah, I li-li-like
Doing what we do in the moonlight
I be loving you baby all night
Baby you and me are shadows on the ceiling
That’s my favorite feeling
Yeah, I li-li-like

[Post-Chorus: Ken, Josh]
Doing what we do in the moonlight
La, la-la-la, la, la-la-la, la, la-la-la
Doing what we do in the moonlight
La, la-la-la, la, la-la-la, la, la-la-la

[Verse 2: Pablo, Stell]
No, you don’t wanna give me any reasons
Show me what to do, I’ll keep it secret
We can’t hide the feelings in between us
Just you and me, I’ll never leave

[Pre-Chorus: Josh, Justin]
Want you in every way
Want you to scream my name
With my hands around your waist
Yeah, I li-li-like

[Chorus: Ken, Pablo]
Doing what we do in the moonlight
I be loving you baby all night
Baby you and me are shadows on the ceiling
That’s my favorite feeling
Yeah, I li-li-like
Doing what we do in the moonlight
I be loving you baby all night
Baby you and me are shadows on the ceiling
That’s my favorite feeling
Yeah, I li-li-like

[Post-Chorus: Stell, Josh]
Doing what we do in the moonlight
La, la-la-la, la, la-la-la, la, la-la-la
Doing what we do in the moonlight
La, la-la-la, la, la-la-la, la, la-la-la
Doing what we do in the moonlight
