In 1984, nestled amongst the heartfelt ballads on his album “By Heart,” we find a gem titled I Don’t Know a Thing About Love (The Moon Song).
Background
This song is a delightful departure from Twitty’s usual repertoire. While it still carries his signature smooth vocals and a touch of country twang in the instrumentation, the lyrics take a more humorous and self-deprecating turn.
Intriguing, isn’t it? Here’s a man known for his heart-wrenching tales of love and loss, suddenly proclaiming cluelessness.
But that’s the beauty of I Don’t Know a Thing About Love (The Moon Song). It’s a song that winks at the audience, a playful acknowledgement of the universal experience of love’s complexities.

Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
I talked 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 to 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, 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, will it die?
