Song Lyrics

Didn't see I had no idea, never heard it before
And I said what good are you
Yeah well "Why don't I?" is the question of the year
(Why, why don't I.)
You used to be my favorite toy
But what happened to my rocket boy?

Rocket boy when are you gonna land?
I said go, don't stop it, go, don't stop it
How we all understand
You used to be my pride and joy
Now you're just my rocket, rocket boy

They don't know my friends we got off again
How'm I supposed to get myself to sleep?
I got stains on my sheets and my nails are torn down to the bone
Wouldn't it be nice to have an ordinary girlfriend?
Laughing 'bout makes it real, makes it happen to me well I can reach you

Didn't see I had no idea, never heard it before
Well I said what good are you, why don't I, no sense of fear
(Yeah, I don't I.)
You used to be my favorite toy, but what happened, my rocket?
(Now you're just my little rocket boy.)
(Rocket boy.)
My rocket boy
(My rocket boy.)

Rocket boy when are you gonna land?
(Rocket boy yeah.)
I said go, don't stop it, go, don't stop it, now may all understand
(Rocket boy yeah.)
I said rocket boy when are you gonna land?
(Rocket boy.)
I said rocket boy they just don't understand
(Die is cast and the dice are rollin' I'm feelin' like shit 'cause she's
Feelin' like gold.)
(Rocket boy.)
You used to be my pride and joy, my boy
You had me
