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
(chorus) I would fly to the moon and back If you'll be, if you'll be my baby Got a ticket for a world where we all 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
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 to the moon and back If you'll be, if you'll be my baby Got a ticket for a world where we all belong So would you be my baby?
