Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who was it holding you so tight
Who were you with my love
Repeat
Making me so sad
Making me so sad (so so sad)
Making me so sad
You say you don't belong to me
I can't help feeling you're mine
I want to feel you close to me baby
You say you ain't got the time
Why are you hurting me baby
Why do you treat me so bad
You're just a run-around lover
Though I gave you everything I had
Yes I gave you everything I had
Who were you with in the moonlight
Who was it holding you so tight
Who were you with my love
Repeat
Who were you with in the moonlight
Who was it holding you so tight
Who were you with in the moonlight baby
Making me so sad (making me sad)
Making me so sad (so so sad)
Making me so sad
Though I gave you everything I had
Yes I gave you everything I had
Who were you with in the moonlight
Who was it holding you so tight
Who were you with who were you with
Who were you with in the moonlight
Who was it holding you so tight
Who were you with in the moonlight baby
Who were you with in the moonlight
Who was it holding you so tight
Who were you with my love
Making me so sad
Making me so sad
Making me so sad
Who were you with in the moonlight
Who was it holding you so tight
Who were you with in the moonlight
Who was it holding you so tight
Who were you with in the moonlight baby
Who were you with in the moonlight
Who was it holding you so tight
