And I said ^?why don^?t I, yeah, why don^?t I?^?
s^?the question of the year
You used to be my favorite toy
*
But what happened to my
Rocket boy rocket boy
Where 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 ro---cket
Riff 1 once
Rocket boy
They don^?t know my friends
We got off again
How am I gonna get myself to sleep
*
I got stains on my sheets and my nails are..........?
Wouldn^?t it be nice to have an
Ordinary girlfriend
Laughin^? ^?bout it makes it real
Makes it happen to be but I can reach you
Didn^?t see, I had no idea, never heard it before
And I said ^?why don^?t I, yeah, why don^?t I?^?
There^?s no sense being here
You used to be my favorite toy
*
But what happened to my ro--cket
(now you^?re just my)
My ro--cket boy
Rocket boy
When are you gonna land?
I said ^?go-don^?t stop it, go-don^?t stop it^?
Now we all understand
Rocket boy
Where are you gonna land?
Rocket boy
They just don^?t understand
You used to be my pride and joy
My boy you have me
