  • She's takin' her time makin' 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 'bout 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 waitin' for the right kind of pilot to come

    And she'll say to him (she's sayin')

    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?
    (Ooh-mm, mm)

    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 trialed for treason
    And crimes that were never defined

    She's sayin', but love is like a barren place
    And reachin' 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
    And send a signal that she's hangin' all her hopes on the stars

    What a pleasant dream (just sayin')

    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?
    Hold on (five, four), hold (three, two) on (one)

    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 waitin' for the right kind of pilot to come

    And she'll say to him (just sayin')

    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?

    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?

  • Benj from BrisAnyone know who the actress/model was in black and white version (she’s gorgeous)
  • Ioana from Bucharest, RomaniaI think the girl is Darren, as weird as it may seem. He now admits that at the time he has a troubled boy, struggling with his gay side and with his childhood memories. Besides, as far as I know, he always writes about his own feelings and sensations.
  • Trist'n from Cheyenne/oak Harbor, WaIt's odd how a lot of girls I knew,seemed to believed this song fit them well in Jr.High and High School.
    Either how, it's a good song
