[Verse 1]
Mean ol' moon, it must be fun
To shine down on me while I come undone
'Til I'm all alone beneath the sun
You mean ol' moon
[Verse 2]
With your beam, you led the way
And found me love I thought was here to stay
'Til you went and took my love away
You mean ol' moon
[Chorus]
Oh, you mean ol' stars above
The games that you played with me
I could find some happiness
If all of my nights were cloudy
[Verse 3]
Mean ol' moon, I hope it's true
You're taking all the light that's left in you
And saving it up for you know who
You mean ol' moon
You mean ol' moon
