Underneath the Moon

by Maggie and Terre Roche

on Seductive Reasoning (1975)

I overheard a wise gal say
Whose gentleman was her ruin
"Sweetness gets me nowhere
'Cept, underneath the moon."

Good men want a virgin
So don't you give yourself too soon
'Cept in an emergency
Like underneath the moon

A woman is like a puzzle
Shackin' up with the clues
While every piece she get
Is another piece she lose

Good men want a virgin
So don't you give yourself too soon
'Cept in an emergency
Like underneath the moon

Crazy to fight the moon

Ahhh, praisin' the fightin' moon
It's the happiest light
That ever come natural to me
Girls'll hitchhike half the way to Mercury
Don't get as hot as this degree

If you go at it at a gallop
It's gonna make you sweat and swoon
But sweetness will get you nowhere
'Cept underneath the moon
