[Verse 1] 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
[Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] I would fly you to the moon and back If you'll be, if you'll be my baby I've got a ticket for a world where we belong So would you be my baby?
[Post-Chorus] Ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh [Verse 3] 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 tried for treason And crimes that were never defined
[Verse 4] She's saying, "Love is like a barren place And reaching out for human faith is Is like a journey I just don't have a map for."
[Pre-Chorus] So, baby's 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) She's saying
[Chorus] I would fly you to the moon and back If you'll be, if you'll be my baby I've got a ticket for a world where we belong So would you be my baby? [Bridge] Hold on Hold on (Five, four, three, two, one) [Bridge] "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) Just saying
[Chorus] I would fly you to the moon and back If you'll be, if you'll be my baby I've got a ticket for a world where we belong So would you be my baby?
