I looked at you and suddenly

Something in your eyes I see

Soon begins witching me

It's that old devil moon

That you stole from the sky

It's that old devil moon deep in your eyes



You and your glance makes this romance too hot to handle

Stars in the night blazin' their light can't hold a candle

To your razzle dazzle



You've got me flyin' high and wide

On a magic carpet ride

Full of butterflies inside

I wanna cry

Wanna croon

Wanna laugh like a loon

It's that old devil moon deep in your eyes



Just when I think I'm free as a dove

Old evil moon deep in your eyes

Blinds me with love!!

It's that old devil moon deep in your eyes

Old evil moon deep in your eyes

Blinds me with love
