Read the full lyrics to Ari Lennox’s new single Under The Moon. Complete song words for this atmospheric R&B track about dangerous attraction.
The lyrics for “Under The Moon” paint a portrait of irresistible yet dangerous attraction. The song opens with cinematic imagery of a Hollywood encounter that quickly turns primal with descriptions of teeth-licking and being treated like “cuisine.” The chorus establishes the central metaphor of a werewolf under the moon, blending majestic imagery with vicious undertones.
This juxtaposition continues throughout the verses, where physical passion clashes with intuitive warnings about the partner’s true nature. The bridge briefly captures the narrator’s dawning realization that “something isn’t right,” while the outro returns to the haunting shoo-wop refrain that bookends the track.
vacancy
The words create a tense narrative arc that moves from seduction to recognition of a potentially predatory dynamic, all set against the backdrop of moonlit atmosphere.

Lyrics
[Intro]
Shoo-wop, shoo-wop
Shoo-wop, shoo-wop
[Verse 1]
Straight from a Hollywood scene, licked his teeth like I was a cuisine
He was sweet to a tea, begging me for a treat, oh
Felt a suspicious mystique, something’s giving me the creeps
Nah, I’m trippin’, I’m so smitten, now I’m drippin’, started kissin’
[Chorus]
Under the moon with you
So majestic, fucking vicious
Like a werewolf when you’re in it
Under the moon, ah-ooh
I’m addicted (Ah), so horrific (Ah)
And you kill it (Kill), and you murder, oh
[Verse 2]
Silver bullet through your bullshit
Ripping my clothes, hands on my throat
Know I should go, pulling me close
I don’t feel right, now he’s preyin’ on my life
Intuiton never misses
Shoulda listened, bad decisions
[Chorus]
Under the moon with you
So majestic, fucking vicious
Like a werewolf when you’re in it
Under moon, ah-ooh
I’m addicted, so horrific
And you kill it, and you murder, oh
[Bridge]
It’s so strange
It’s so, something isn’t right
[Outro]
Sayin’, ah-ooh (Say it)
Sayin’, ah-ooh (Come on, y’all)
Sayin’, ah-ooh (Say it)
Sayin’, ah-ooh (Yeah)
Sayin’, ah-ooh
Fucking lyin’, ah-ooh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
It’s so clear, ah-ooh (Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
Shoo-wop, shoo-wop
Shoo-wop, shoo-wop
