Moonlight Lyrics
[Intro]
Na, na-na, na-na, na-na-na
Oh-oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Adriano)
[Verse 1]
I bought you things that I didn't even have the money for
If I could make you feel so rich, I don't mind feelin' poor
There's something 'bout you so addictive, had me needing more
Yeah, I just wanna hold you, baby, you the one I want
I know I've said this all before, but I'll say it again
You're the only one I want, and, girl, I can't pretend
I remember cloudy days, we cuddled in my bed
The thought of losing you just makes no sense inside my head
[Chorus]
You're the reason I believe that love is real
Ain't nobody make me feel the way you make me feel
Darling, tell me, is it real?
Or was I lying to myself just to make it feel so real?
[Post-Chorus]
Ain't nobody gon' love you like I love you
Ain't nobody gon' want you like I want you
Ain't nobody gon' trust you like I trust you
Ain't nobody gon', ain't nobody gon'
Ain't nobody gon' love you like I love you
Ain't nobody gon' trust you like I trust you
Ain't nobody gon' want you like I want you
Ain't nobody gon' want, no, no, no
[Bridge]
I can't love nobody anymore
You're the only one that I ever want
I compare her to you, she has never won
Now I wanna just be all alone
Nobody love me like you
And I can't love nobody back
You remind me of the moon
'Cause every night, you're coming back
What am I supposed to do?
If I'm so in love with you
I cannot get over you
I cannot get over you
[Verse 2]
Since you left me, every night I go stare at the moon
Wishing it was you and I, that's something we would do
Every Sunday morning I go watch the flowers bloom
I do things we used to do, hoping I'll run into you
What's a lie, and what's the truth?
I cannot get over you
Doesn't matter what I do
Everyone just looks like you
Girl, I smell you everywhere
Smell your perfume and your hair
I try to act like I don't care
Everyone knows (That I care)
[Chorus]
You're the reason I believe that love is real (Love is real)
Ain't nobody make me feel the way you make me feel
Darling, tell me, is it real?
Or was I lying to myself just to make it feel so real?
[Post-Chorus]
Ain't nobody gon' love you like I love you
Ain't nobody gon' want you like I want you
Ain't nobody gon' trust you like I trust you
Ain't nobody gon', ain't nobody gon', no
Ain't nobody gon' love you like I love you
Ain't nobody gon' trust like I trust you
Ain't nobody gon' want you like I want you
Ain't nobody gon', ain't nobody gon'
[Outro]
Trust you like I trust you
Ain't nobody gon' love like I love you
Ain't nobody gon', la-la, love you
Ain't nobody gon', ain't nobody gon'

What inspired this song?
It was this late night, in my feels, 3 a.m, I was in my bed and I had that first line come. “You’re the reason I believe that love is real”. I was like, “That’s a really strong line” so I just kept writing. Ten, fifteen minutes goes by and the whole song I had written. The first version of the song....
What was the songwriting process like?
When I first wrote it, I had the melody. I didn’t have the music yet obviously I needed to find someone to make me the music, but I had all the melodies. I knew how I wanted it to be. There’s one or two parts that I ended up changing later, but the melody was there and I just knew … that time I was...
When did you notice the song was blowing up?
So I first made this song in April 2018 and I released it August that year. And I had this acoustic car video of me just driving in my car and I posted that and that started going viral. People started loving it. I think the genius behind those car videos is my songs are so emotional and relatable a...
Who are your biggest influences?
So my two main influences in music are J. Cole and Ed Sheeran and that’s mainly because they both have this super organic branding and they’re super real about everything. All their music has meaning and it’s timeless. And so I just try to be a good blend of both and include RnB, pop, hip hop. So wh...
