Moonshine
Bruno Mars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Uh, you know you look even better
Than the way you did the night before (before)
And the moment that you kissed my lips
You know I start to feel wonderful (wonderful)
It's something incredible, there's sex in your chemicals
Oh (there's sex in your chemicals)
Uh, you're the best way I know to escape the extraordinary (ordinary)
This world ain't for you and I know for damn sure
This world ain't for me (world ain't for me)
Lift off and say goodbye
Just let your fire set me free
Oh, moonshine, take us to the stars tonight
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time
I know (I know)
Uh, I was with you last night
But it feels like it's been so long (so long)
And everybody that's around me knows
That I'm not myself when your gone (self when your gone)
It's good to see you again, good to see you again
On top of the world (the world)
Uh, is where I stand when you're back in my life (in my life)
Life's not so bad when you're way up this high
Everything is alright ('thing is alright)
Everything is alright
Oh, moonshine, take us to the stars tonight
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time
Oh, moonshine, your love it makes me come alive
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time
Don't look down, don't you never look back
We are not afraid to die young and live fast
Give me good times, give me love, give me laughs
Let's take a ride to the sky before the night is gone
Moonshine, take us to the stars tonight
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time
Oh, moonshine, your love it makes me come alive
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time

Moonshine"
Hello
You know you look even better than the way you did the night before
And the moment that you kissed my lips you know I started to feel wonderful
It's something incredible, there's sex in your chemicals
Ooh, let's go
You're the best way I know to escape the extraordinary
This world ain't for you, and I know for damn sure this world ain't for me
Lift off and say goodbye
Just let your fire set me free
Oh
Moonshine, take us to the stars tonight
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time
I know, I was with you last night but it feels like it's been so long
And everybody that's around they know that I'm not myself when you're gone
It's good to see you again, good to see you again
On top of the world, is where I stand when you're back in my life
Life's not so bad when you're way up this high
Everything is alright, everything is alright
Moonshine, take us to the stars tonight
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time, oh
Moonshine, your love it makes me come alive
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time
Don't look down, don't you never look back
We are not afraid to die young and live fast
Give me good times, give me love, give me laughs
Let's take a ride to the sky before the night is gone
Moonshine, take us to the stars tonight
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time, oh
Moonshine, your love it makes me come alive
Take us to that special place
That place we went the last time, the last time

People are getting offended that he's getting michael talk, and I think it's true- and I'm a hardcore mj fan.
He is heavily influenced, has that powerful voice and if you watch his performances for the jungle tour you'll see how many other artists he's been influenced by but he still has got that key thing- his own style and his own way of doing it.
There is that feeling you get when you see him or hear his music and Michael crosses your mind and that's okay. Because Bruno is good at what he does, he's not imitating and he's not trying to be the next king of pop.
He oozes a lot of talent like Michael did. He's a great show personality and artistry these days just like Michael had. It's these subtle similarities that make you think of him and that's actually okay.
Bruno isn't trying to take Michael's place and it's not offensive to mj when you say; hey this kind of reminds me of him.
@peachyiki1975
lets be honest: bruno's songs have always been ahead of their time, and always will be
@monicajara5974
just facts
@pinkfedoras
That’s sad, but true, because the music industry is sometimes crap with their songs.
@nawalaitelcadi1147
Bruno Mars is a visionary by bringing old school type of music and he is quite funny too

One of Bruno's most underrated songs.
@aranabeatrice
Also his all unreleased songs are underrated too💗
@Yojikudou03
@@aranabeatrice All songs from 24k magic should've been a single. There I said it. Also Doo wops and unorthodox jukebox. You're right.
