"Rocket Love"

Do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do

Do do do, do do do, do do do

I longed for you since I was born

A woman sensitive and warm

And that you were

With pride and strength no one would test

But yet have feminine finesse

And so much more

You took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star

But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back

Down to this cold, cold world

Took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star

But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back

Down to this cold, cold world

A female Shakespeare of your time

With looks to blow Picasso's mind

You were the best

Your body moved with grace and song

Like symphonies by Bach or Brahms

Nevertheless, oh oh

You took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star

But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back

Down to this cold, cold world

Ooh, you took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star

But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back

Down to this cold, cold world

Da da, da da da, da da da, da da da

Da da da, da da da

The passion burning in your heart

Would make hell's fire seem like a spark

Where did it go

Just why that you would overnight

Turn love to stone as cold as ice

I'll never know

But you took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star

But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back

Down to this cold, cold world

Baby, you took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star

But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back

Down to this cold, cold world

Cold, too cold, you took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star

But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped my black ass

Down to this cold, cold world

Oh, oh, oh, took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star

But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back

Down to into this cold, cold world

I would not do that to a dog, baby

Took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star

But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back

Down to this cold, cold world

Riding in your rocket, gave me a star

But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back

Down to this cold, cold world

Ooh, ooh, baby

Rocket love
