She's taking her time 

making up the reasons 

To justify all the hurt inside 

Guess she knows from the smiles 

And the look in their eyes 

Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one 

They're saying 

Mama never loved her much 

And daddy never keeps in touch 

That's why she shies away from human affection 

But somewhere in a private place 

She packs her bags for outer space 

And now she's waiting for 

The right kind of pilot to come 

(and she'll say to him) 

She's saying 

I would fly you to the moon and back 

If you'll be, if you'll be my baby 

Got a ticket for a world 

where we belong 

So, would you be my baby? 

Ooh-ooh 

She can't remember a time 

When she felt needed 

If love was red then she was color-blind 

All her friends they've been trialed for treason 

And crimes that were never defined 

But she's saying 

Love is like a barren place 

And reaching out for human faith 

Is like a journey I just don't have a map for 

So baby gonna take a dive and 

push the shift to overdrive 

Send a signal that she's hanging all her hopes on 

the stars 

(What a pleasant dream) just saying 

I would fly you to the moon and back 

If you'll be, if you'll be my baby 

Got a ticket for a world 

where we belong 

So, would you be my baby? 

Mama never loved her much 

And daddy never keeps in touch 

That's why she shies away from human affection 

But somewhere in a private place 

She packs her bags for outer space 

And now she's waiting for the right kind of pilot 

To come (and she'll say to him) 

She's saying 

I would fly you to the moon and back 

If you'll be, if you'll be my baby 

Got a ticket for a world where we belong 

So, would you be my baby? 

yeah
