I talk to the man in the moon
I said, "Sir is she coming back soon?"
He smiled and he stated, son I'm over-rated
I've had too much credit in those old love tunes

I don't know a thing about love
I just kind of hang here above
I just watch from the sky
Will love grow or will it die?
I don't know a thing about love

Then I asked him where is she tonight?
You must see all things with your light
He said, "Son I could tell you things that might kill you
But I don't get involved in what's wrong or right"

I don't know a thing about love
I just kind of hang here above
I just watch from the sky
Will love grow or will it die?
I don't know a thing about love

He said, "I can move oceans when I take the notion
Or make mountains tremble and rivers run dry"
But in all matters human, remember there's someone
In charge of those things way above you and I

I don't know a thing about love
I just kind of hang here above
I just watch from the sky
Will love grow or will it die?
I don't know a thing about love
I don't know a thing about love
