Talking To The Moon
Bruno Mars · Doo-Wops & Hooligans [2010]
Somewhere far away
I want you back
I want you back
My neighbours think
I'm crazy
But they don't understand
You're all I have
You're all I have
[Chorus:]
At night when the stars
light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the Moon
Try to get to You
In hopes you're on
the other side
Talking to me too
Or Am I a fool
who sits alone
Talking to the moon
I'm feeling like
I'm famous
The talk of the town
They say
I've gone mad
Yeah
I've gone mad
But they don't know
what I know
Cause when the
sun goes down
someone's talking back
Yeah
They're talking back
[Chorus:]
At night when the stars
light up my room
I sit by myself
Talking to the Moon
Try to get to You
In hopes you're on
the other side
Talking to me too
Or Am I a fool
who sits alone
Talking to the moon
Ahh...Ahh...Ahh..
Do you ever hear me calling
(Ahh...Ahh..Ahh..)
Ho Hou Ho ho Hou
'Cause every night
I'm Talking to the Moon
Still try to get to You
In hopes you're on
the other side
Talking to me too
Or Am I a fool
who sits alone
Talking to the moon
Ohoooo...
I know you're somewhere out there
Somewhere far away
