Lyrics

[Verse 1]

My love is alien, I picked her up by chance

She speaks to me in ultra high frequency

The radio band of gold, gonna listen till I grow old

[Verse 2]

Ooh, what more can a poor boy do?

What more can a poor boy do?

[Verse 3]

The crackle of the radio, the message in the evening sky

You're lookin' at an interplanetary Romeo

I'll never see her face, between us there's too much space

[Verse 4]

Ooh, what more can a poor boy do?

What more can a poor boy do?

[Verse 5]

What more can a poor boy do?

What more can a poor boy do? Yeah, yeah

What more, what more?

[Verse 6]

What more can a poor boy do? Yeah, yeah

What more, what more?

What more can a poor boy do?
