Lyrics: Stevie Wonder. Hotter Than July. Rocket Love.

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

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 me back
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 into this cold, cold world

I would not do that to a dog

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
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, baby
Rocket love
