[verse] Luna loved a man from New York City Used to get up with the day And even though she knows she Always asks him where he’s going But she never did ask him to stay [verse] Now in the evenings Luna pours love in her tumbler Tries to wash away the pain And as she piles on the lipstick She knows she’s a statistic Of lonely hearts who let love get away [refrain] She wants a man to love her Just enough to let her down Now Luna loves a man who’s not around [verse] Now Luna’s looking for a man who’ll take her dancing Tether his arms around her body And take her fight away And she hopes he’ll see her beauty As they’re swaying to the music And that light might make her night okay [verse] Well she hopes he’ll dance the two step just as sweetly As her father did before she lost him to the war He would shimmy round the kitchen And take his daughter with him Until the dog fights barely made a sound at all [bridge] She hopes he’ll be a fighter But not the type that likes a bruise Just a man that wants to make sure No one‘s dancing with her too [refrain] She wants a man who’s honest Just enough to break his promises Luna wants a man that she won’t lose [instrumental] [trumpet solo] [verse] Now Luna’s found a man she thinks is perfect He ticks off every box that’s on her list And he holds her in his arms Like her father when they danced The voice that whispers in her ear Sounds just like his [refrain] He loves her like he left her Or like he’s never even met her Luna loves a man who don’t exist
