You're my moonlight
Moonlight lover
And when you walk along
With me

Woh woh people say
That our love isn't true
But to prove that it's true
I would die for you

And that's why you're my lover
(You are my lover, my moonlight lover)
(Me carry go a foreign cuz you love it under cover now)
Yes, you are my lover
(You are my lover, my moonlight lover)
Woh woh moonlight lover
(There is no other)
(For real man)
You are my lover
(Come correct, it doesn't matter any how)
(Mi carry go a foreign cuz you love it under cover now)
(Well well)

Can't you see
(Can't you see that you're the one for me)
(One and one is two and later came three)
We were meant to be
(Yes girl I am talking about my baby)
(The love you had for me you turn into a family)
That's why I want you
(Now your daddy sees me in a different light)
(But mi no hold no grudge, it's alright)
To be my lover
(Now and forever more there is no other)
And that's why you're my lover
(You are my moonlight lover)

(You are my lover, my moonlight lover)
Yes, you are my lover

You are my lover

She was my lover, she sway in the moonlight
A daddy never love it, he was uptight
But I don't care any more what he say
Tonight we're gonna tango on the Champs-Élysées
First let me wine and dine you
After that, me a go dance and caress you
Undress you, with my voodoo
You should know by now, girl, I love you
Can't you see that you're the one for me
One and one is two and later came three
Yes girl I am talking about my baby
The love you had for me you turn into a family
Now your daddy sees me in a different light
But mi no hold no grudge, it's alright
Now and forever more, there is no other
(And that's why you're my lover)
You are my moonlight lover

(You are my lover, my moonlight lover)
Yes, you are my lover

And that's why you're my lover
