[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Oh, you (Oh you)
Those boys tell you what to do
All the time (Time)
On, then later on
You said I could be just what I want
And they said you’re lying (You’re lying)
Well you were born to be an astronaut
And you’ll do that or die trying
What a way to live and die
[Post-Chorus]
And you wonder why boys will cry
Boys will be boys, they should listen
Do as their mothers tell them7
[Verse 3]
“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 wait are on the line
And they’re not crying
[Chorus]
On and later on, you will tell them what went wrong
And they’ll say you’re lying (You’re lying)
But you were born to be an astronaut
And you’ll do that or die trying
There’d be nothing wrong with it, oh
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
Oh, you waste your time
C-C-Come waste mine!
[Chorus]
Oh my, the boys that wait 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, ah!
