Lirik Lagu Moonshine
I can’t go nowhere, unless you’re by my side
I gotta have you here, I said right here by my side
I can’t roam the town, unless you’re by my side
I gotta have you around, right here by my side
So where’s my moonshine?
‘Cause I be all up in the club with you, yeah, oh
So where’s my moonshine?
You know I spend my last dub for you, yeah, oh
So where’s my moonshine?
Well, it feels so nice with you, yeah, oh
So where’s my moonshine?
Wanna spend my whole life with you, yeah, oh
Uh, yo, I snuck into this club when I was 15
And I met my girl at the bar, such a sweet thing
Every time I held her, she would always kiss me
Every touch of her lips would always make me tipsy
I told her, “Man, I love you, ” pulled her to the dance floor
And that’s when she whispered, “Be careful what you ask for”
Grabbed her by the waist and I sat her on the table
Explained how her heartburn, she’s givin’ me is painful
And now you wanna leave ‘cause you feel empty inside
But none of my friends trust me with you to drive
I’m so into you, I hope you feeling it?
Man, I need you in my life and the reason is
I can’t go nowhere, unless you’re by my side
I gotta have you here, I said right here by my side
I can’t roam the town, unless you’re by my side
I gotta have you around, right here by my side
So where’s my moonshine?
‘Cause I be all up in the club with you, yeah, oh
So where’s my moonshine?
You know I spend my last dub for you, yeah, oh
So where’s my moonshine?
Well, it feels so nice with you, yeah, oh
So where’s my moonshine?
Wanna spend my whole life with you, yeah, oh
How many times I gotta tell you what you stressing me for?
Yeah, I see you need attention, I ain’t tryin’ to ignore
I gotta straighten up now, I got work to do
You want me to drop everything so it surrounds you
Who’s gonna pay for your glasses and caps you wear?
You better stop messin’ around and get you ass in gear
I never meant to yell at you, baby, please don’t cry
It’s just when I’m with you, it brings out the anger inside
Man, I love you so much, it makes me sick to my stomach
And I love it how I can vomit and you think nothing of it
I never meant to argue with you, please forgive
Girl, I need you in my life and the reason is
I can’t go nowhere, unless you’re by my side
I gotta have you here, I said right here by my side
I can’t roam the town, unless you’re by my side
I gotta have you around, right here by my side
So where’s my moonshine?
‘Cause I be all up in the club with you, yeah, oh
So where’s my moonshine?
You know I spend my last dub for you, yeah, oh
So where’s my moonshine?
Well, it feels so nice with you, yeah, oh
So where’s my moonshine?
Wanna spend my whole life with you, yeah, oh
You see my moonshine, she keeps me warm when it rains
I forget my problems when she eases the pain
And my friends keep telling me to call it a day
“She don’t love you, Savage, it’s all in your brain”
See, I don’t believe a word that you say to my face
Man, I love her, and I know she feels the same
I’ll buy you all the ice you want and I’ll keep you safe
Man, I love my alcohol, what more can I say?
I can’t go nowhere, unless you’re by my side
I gotta have you here, I said right here by my side
I can’t roam the town, unless you’re by my side
I gotta have you around, right here by my side
So where’s my moonshine?
‘Cause I be all up in the club with you, yeah, oh
So where’s my moonshine?
You know I spend my last dub for you, yeah, oh
So where’s my moonshine?
Well, it feels so nice with you, yeah, oh
So where’s my moonshine?
Wanna spend my whole life with you, yeah, oh
