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
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
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
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'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 I would fly
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
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 fy
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
I would fy
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
