Lyrics
It was just a night like this when it happened
I was such an unsuspecting soul
And I couldn’t quite believe that it happened
Till it got beyond control
Refrain
When they met, the way they smiled
I saw that I was through
Oh! you crazy moon, what did you do?
When they kissed, they tried to say
That it was just in fun
Oh! you crazy moon, look what you’ve done
Once you promised me, you know
That it would never end
You should be ashamed to show
Your funny face, my friend
There they are, they fell in love
I guess you think you’re smart
Oh! you crazy moon, you broke my heart
