lyrics

I said “Hey,you, climb aboard.
It’s only early and I’m feeling bored”.
And if you’re quick, you can get inside,
My spaceship that leaves at five.
I said “You look really familiar”
You said “That’s ’cause we met last night”
I said “You look really familiar,
will you be my friend tonight?”

And if you need someone to talk to,
Well, I can talk.
And if you need to be held,
I could hold you real well.
But I might melt on the spot.
I might yell out for help.
Don’t panic, do not leave you’re seat.
I could lie here with you for the entire week.
She gave me the moon and the stars,
But she could not give me her heart.
And she took mine with her.

I’ve been around the country and I like what I see.
She said “It’s bad timing,
someone’s flying in here to see me”.
A couple of years too late,
She said “I think it’s fate”.
But fate would not do this to anyone that I know.
So I guess it’s time for me to go.
She gave me the moon and the stars,
But she could not give me her heart.
And she took mine with her…
