It's been so very long since I've seen your face
Felt the tenderness and magic of your warm embrace
And now that we're together in the same place
You look so beautiful in the moonlight
I want to tell you just the way I feel
You know, sometimes I start to wonder if you're even real
You leave my head spinning 'round just like a wheel
Because you look so beautiful in the moonlight
But I suppose it'll never work out because you're an asshole
Your personal hygiene is substandard at best
You end all your social media posts with "hashtag blessed"
You don't pay your own bills and you're behind on your rent
But you'll invest your cash in Amway shit one hundred percent
Now I've got your hand in mine as we're strolling as one
You can't drive 'cause of your DUIs and hit-and-runs
And you're ranting about libtards going after your guns
But at least you look so beautiful in the moonlight
You hit "Reply All" on work emails just to say "LOL"
Insist on siding with the moron who broke up with Adele
You say astrology matters but not LGBT rights
And you think that health insurance
Should be reserved for whites
I don't understand how anyone can be so fucking pretty
With a personality that gives new meaning to shitty
You're the most gorgeous lady but your actions are shady
I mean you even once donated to abolish relief funding for Haiti
Yet somehow here we are, just me and you
With your unfounded love of incest and your tribal tattoo
And I kind of hate myself for hoping we can still screw
Because you look so beautiful in the moonlight, aw, yeah
You think that Quik Trip service stations
Are just overhyped kitsch
How the hell can you hate Quik Trip, you miserable bitch?
You've shot commercials for Axe body spray and also Proactiv
Honestly, you would get murdered if you weren't so attractive
You say that Hitler had some good ideas and Jews are the devil
You tell me that Chris Brown speaks to you on a spiritual level
Then you grab me by the throat
And say the world would be nicer
If everyone was just a little more like Sean Spicer
As the hours slip behind us and the sun begins to rise
I take one last longing look at your magnificent eyes
And I pray that soon you'll meet your untimely demise
Even though you looked so beautiful in the moonlight
So beautiful (and that's it) in the moonlight
You're so beautiful (and nothing else) in the moonlight
