You'll soon be hearing the chime Close to midnight If I could turn back the time I'd make all right How could it end like this? There's a sting in the way you kiss me Something within your eyes Said it could be the last time 'Fore it's over! Just wanna be Wanna bewitch you in the moonlight Just wanna be I wanna bewitch you all night It keeps on giving me chills But I know now I feel the closer we get To the last vow I don’t wanna end like this (Like this, yeah) But the sting in the way you kiss me (I'm loving it) Something within your eyes Said it could be the last time 'Fore it's over! Just wanna be Wanna bewitch you in the moonlight Just wanna be I wanna bewitch you all night Just wanna be I wanna bewitch you one last time with me tonight Just wanna be I wanna bewitch you all night Just wanna be Wanna bewitch you in the moonlight Just wanna be Wanna bewitch you all right Just wanna be Wanna bewitch you in the moonlight Just wanna be I wanna bewitch you all night All right!
