Lyrics

Jet Boy

Whoso fly up in the sky

Faster than any boy could ever describe

Who's got that love so deep

And everything alive

(I said)

Jet boys fly

Jet boys gone

Jet boy stole my baby

Flyin' around New York City so high

Like he was my baby

This's the kinda place where no one cares

What you're livin' for

And jet boy's so preoccupied

He don't care 'bout before

(That's why)

Jet boys fly

Jet boys gone

Jet boy stole my baby

Flyin' around New York City so high

Like he was my baby

My baby

Jet boys fly

Jet boys gone

Jet boy stole my baby

Flyin' around New York City so high

Like he was my baby

We was all endangered charms

Swear we're havin' fun

And jet boy knows all we done

That's why he's the one

(That's why)

Jet boys fly

Jet boys gone

Jet boy stole my baby

Flyin' around New York City so high

Like he was my baby

My pretty baby

My pretty pretty baby

My pretty baby

When I first came around this dump

I knew I couldn't stay

'Cause up above the world are jet boy

That's why I gotta play

(Dontcha know that)

Jet boys fly

Jet boys gone

Jet boy stole my baby

Flyin' around New York City so high

Like he was my baby

Like he was my baby

Like he was my baby

Like he was my baby

Like he was my baby

Jet boys fly

And y'know he's gone

I said he been gone

Gone gone gone

And he been flyin'

And he been flyin'

He been flyin'

He been flyin'

Baby up all night

Baby New York City

Baby so so high

Baby so so high

(Dontcha know that)

Like he was my baby

Like he was my baby

Like he was my baby

Like he was my my my my baby

My my my my baby

My my my my

My baby

My baby, my baby

M-m-m-m-m-my baby

My baby
