Lyrics:
Once in your life you'll find her
Someone who turns your heart around
And next thing you know
You're closing down the town
Wake up and it's still with you
Even though you left her way across town
Wonderin' to yourself
Hey, what have I found
When you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
The best that you can do, is fall in love
Arthur, he does as he pleases
All of his life his master's toys
And deep in his heart he's just
He's just a boy
Living his life one day at a time
He's showing himself a pretty good time
He's laughing about the way
They want him to be
When you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
The best that you can do
The best that you can do, is fall in love
When you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
The best that you can do
The best that you can do, is fall in love
When you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, but it's true
If you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
The best that you can do
The best that you can do
The best that you can do, is fall in love
When you get caught
Between the moon and New York City
I know it's crazy, hey but it's true
