Oh, You Crazy Moon
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
I was such an unsuspecting soul
And I couldn't quite believe when it happened
Till it got beyond control
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
You crazy Moon, you broke my heart
Oh, You Crazy Moon
