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 s***e
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 . . . hmmm . . .
She can't remember a time
When she felt needed.
If love was red
Then she was colour-blinded
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, 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?"
Mamma never loved her much
And daddy never keeps in touch
