Ariana Grande - Moonlight Lyrics

Ariana Grande Lyrics

"Moonlight"

The sun is setting and you're right here by my side
And the movie is playing, but we won't be watching tonight
Every look (Every look), every touch (Every touch)
Makes me wanna give you my heart (Ooh)
I be crushin' on you, baby
Stay right where you are, 'cause

I never knew, I never knew
You could hold moonlight in your hands
'Til the night I held you
You are my moonlight, moonlight

I kiss his fingertips as I'm wishing he's all mine
He's giving me Elvis with some James Dean in his eyes
Puts his lips (Puts his lips) on my neck (On my neck)
Makes me wanna give him my body
I be fallin' for you, baby
And I just can't stop, 'cause

I never knew, I never knew
You could hold moonlight in your hands
'Til the night I held you
You are my moonlight, moonlight
(Baby, I be fallin')
You're my moonlight, moonlight

He's so bossy, he makes me dance
Tryna sit in the back of his whip and just cancel my plans
Sweet like candy, but he's such a man
He knows just what it does when he's holding me tight
And he calls me "moonlight" too

This song was inspired, according to Victoria Monet, by Ariana Grande's boyfriend, Ricky Alvarez. Monet, the frequent Grande's co-writer, told Billboard, "That's what Ricky called her one night. I think it was after their first kiss."

The whole album could have been titled after this song, but then Ariana Grande changed her mind in favour of "Dangerous Woman". She explained, "'Moonlight' is a lovely song, and it's a lovely title. It's really romantic, and it definitely ties together the old music and the new music, but 'Dangerous Woman' is a lot stronger. [...] To me, a dangerous woman is someone who's not afraid to take a stand, be herself and to be honest."
