She's takin' her time, making up the reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smile then the look in their eyes
Everyone's got a theory about the bitter one

They're sayin' 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 bag for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kinda pilot to come (and she'll say to him)

She's sayin' I'll fly ya to the moon and back if you'll be, if you'll be my baby
I've gotta ticket for a world where we, a-belong, so would you be my baby?
Yeah, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

She can't remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red then she was colourblind
All her friends, well, 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, is like a journey I just don't have a map for"
So baby, gonna take a drive and I push shift to overdrive
Send a signal that she's hanging all her hopes on the stars (what a pleasant dream)

Just sayin' I'll fly ya to the moon and back if you'll be, if you'll be my baby
I've gotta ticket for a world where we a-belong, so would you be my baby? Yeah
(Hold on) 5-4-3-2-1 (hold on)

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 bag for outer space
And now she's waiting for the right kinda pilot to come (and she'll say to him)

Just sayin' I'll fly ya to the moon and back if you'll be, if you'll be my baby
I've gotta ticket for a world where we a-belong, so would you be my baby?
I'll fly ya to the moon and back if you'll be, if you'll be my baby
I've gotta ticket for a world where we a-belong, so would you be my baby, yeah?
Ooh-ooh
