[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus 1]

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

[Chorus]

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 whoever might

Dare to bask in the same candlelight

[Verse 2]

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 the butterfly

Ew, just a moth drawn to the lamp

[Pre-Chorus 2]

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

[Chorus]

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 whoever might

Dare to bask in the same candlelight

Who may dare to bask in the same candlelight

[Pre-Chorus 1]

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

[Chorus]

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 whoever might

Dare to bask in the same candlelight

In the same candlelight
