[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

[Bridge]
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 2]
She can't remember a time when she felt needed
If love was red, then she was color blind
All her friends, well, they've been tried for treason
And crimes that were never defined

[Bridge]
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'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)
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? Yeah

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?

[Outro]
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? Yeah
