Rocket Boy 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 am 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 about 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 rolling I'm feeling like shit 'cause she's feeling like gold
Rocket boy
You used to be my pride and joy, my boy
You had me...
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?
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
How am 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 about makes it real, makes it happen to me; well, I can reach you
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, 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 rolling I'm feeling like shit 'cause she's feeling like gold
Rocket boy
You used to be my pride and joy, my boy
You had me...

I honestly thought this song was all about a vibrator.
I can't believe no ones commented this! I think this is about a boy she was just having a bit of fun with 'favourite toy' and he liked her but she never felt the same so she messed him about but now she wants him and hes playing it hard to get.
To me, this song is about a relationship that goes through some life changes. The boy and the girl are together, possibly at a young age, and his life changes and he's no longer around. Their relationship is strained, but she still loves him like a toy and her little rocket boy- she's just waiting for him to stop flying around. He's not that into her, and she's sad about it. Notice the last line, "you had me." He's chosen to go and never stop. I love this song.
