Daniel, do you remember?
You were in such a state
The boys that wait outside your house
Have got your number
And are not afraid to use it

They'll probably give it out
To anyone they see, including me
They'll probably make up your mind
As if you want them to

Oh, you (oh, you)
Those boys tell you what to do
All the time (time)
On and later on
You said I could be just what I wanted
And they said you're lying (lying)

But you were born to be an astronaut
And you'll do that or die trying
What a way to live and die

And you wonder why
Boys will cry, boys will be boys
They should listen
Do as their mothers tell them

If you know what's good for you
Behave yourself this time for me
If you know what's good for you
Don't lay around complaining all day

Oh, my
The boys that waited are on the line
And they're not crying
On and later on
You will tell them what went wrong
And they'll say you're lying (lying)

But you were born to be an astronaut
And you'll do that or die trying
There'd be nothing wrong with it
Aah, huh!

Oh, you waste your time!
C-come waste mine!

Oh, my
The boys that waited are on the line
And they're not crying
On and later on
You will tell them what went wrong
And they'll say you're lying

But you were born an astronaut
To do it or die trying
There'd be nothing wrong with it
Aah, huh!
