Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Whoso fly up in the sky
Faster than any boy could ever describe
Who has got a love so deep
With everything alive
I said
[Verse 2]
Jet Boy's fly, Jet Boy's gone
Jet Boy stole my baby
Flyin' around New York City so high
Like he was my baby
[Verse 3]
This the kinda place where no one cares
What you're livin' for
And Jet Boy's so preoccupied
He don't care about before
And that's why
[Verse 4]
Jet Boy's fly, Jet Boy's gone
Jet Boy stole my baby
Flyin' around New York City so high
Like he was my baby
My baby
[Verse 5]
Jet Boy's fly, Jet Boy's gone
Jet Boy stole my baby
Flyin' around New York City so high
Like he was my baby
[Verse 6]
We was all endangered charms
Swear we're havin' fun
And Jet Boy knows after all we'd done
That's why he's the one
That's why
[Verse 7]
Jet Boy's fly, Jet Boy's gone
Jet Boy stole my baby
Flyin' around New York City so high
Like he was my baby
[Verse 8]
My pretty baby
My pretty pretty baby
My pretty baby
[Verse 9]
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, don't you know why?
[Verse 10]
Jet Boy's fly, Jet Boy's 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
[Verse 11]
Jet Boy's fly
And you know he's gone
I said, "He been gone
Gone, gone, gone"
[Verse 12]
And he's been flyin'
He's been flyin'
He's been flyin'
He's been flyin'
[Verse 13]
Baby, I'm alright
Baby, New York City
Baby, so, so high
Baby, so, so high
[Verse 14]
Don't you 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
[Verse 15]
My, my, my, my baby (Like he was my baby)
My, my, my, my baby (Like he was my baby)
My, my, my, my baby (Like he was my baby)
My baby
My baby (Like he was my baby)
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my babe
My baby
