In the Candlelight
To know her is to love her
I'm going undercover
To catch a glimpse
But not get caught
But to see her
Could be worse
If I don't get my head straight first
On second thought I guess I'll not
She's almost brighter than the Sun
Seems to me to be unfair
When you consider everyone
Who pales when they compare
When they compare
Can't hold a candle to her
Cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll begin to chew her
Entire attire until it frays
She outshines anyone
Who ever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
Oh please don't seat us in the back
With all the insects and the trash
She is a lady, I'm the tramp
Collecting stares from pairs close by
Then flutters in a butterfly
You're just a moth drawn to the lamp
She's like an ancient artifact
Something you're lucky to have found
She'll pinch the nerves in all the necks
When she turns those heads around
Those heads around
Can't hold a candle to her
Cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll begin to chew her
Entire attire until it frays
She outshines anyone
Who ever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
Who ever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
She's almost brighter than the Sun
Seems to me to be unfair
When you consider everyone
Who pales when they compare
When they compare
Can't hold a candle to her
Cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll begin to chew her
Entire attire until it frays
For she outshines anyone
Who ever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
In the same candlelight
I'm going undercover
To catch a glimpse
But not get caught
But to see her
Could be worse
If I don't get my head straight first
On second thought I guess I'll not
She's almost brighter than the Sun
Seems to me to be unfair
When you consider everyone
Who pales when they compare
When they compare
Can't hold a candle to her
Cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll begin to chew her
Entire attire until it frays
She outshines anyone
Who ever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
Oh please don't seat us in the back
With all the insects and the trash
She is a lady, I'm the tramp
Collecting stares from pairs close by
Then flutters in a butterfly
You're just a moth drawn to the lamp
She's like an ancient artifact
Something you're lucky to have found
She'll pinch the nerves in all the necks
When she turns those heads around
Those heads around
Can't hold a candle to her
Cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll begin to chew her
Entire attire until it frays
She outshines anyone
Who ever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
Who ever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
She's almost brighter than the Sun
Seems to me to be unfair
When you consider everyone
Who pales when they compare
When they compare
Can't hold a candle to her
Cause all the moths get in the way
And they'll begin to chew her
Entire attire until it frays
For she outshines anyone
Who ever might dare to bask in the same candlelight
In the same candlelight
