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 bag for outer space 
And now she's waiting for the right 
kind of pilot [bad word] 
And she'll say to him,
She's sayin, 

"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,
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 sayin, 

"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?" 

(Hold on, 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 
Kind of pilot [bad word] 
And she'll say to him,
She's sayin, 

"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?"
