[Intro]
Everybody clap your hands
Doo-doo-doo (Doo), doo-doo-doo (Doo), doo-doo-doo (Doo), Doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo (Doo, doo, doo-doo-doo), doo-doo-doo (Doo, doo, doo-doo-doo)
Doo-doo-doo (Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, doo)
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
You took me riding on your rocket, you 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 on your rocket and gave me a star
But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back
Down to this cold, cold world, ooh baby, mmm
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
You took me riding on 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 world)
You took me riding on a rocket, gave me a star
But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped me back
Down to the cold, to the cold, cold world, yes, you did
[Refrain]
Doo-doo-doo (Wee doo), doo-doo-doo (Wee doo), doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo (Doo, doo, doo-doo)
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
But you took me riding on your rocket and 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 on your rocket and gave me a star
But at a half a mile from heaven you dropped my Black ass back
Down to the cold, cold world, oh, oh
[Outro]
Riding on a rocket, yeah (Rocket love)
Half a mile heaven (Rocket love) (Baby, you)
Too cold (Dropped me back down), too cold (Girl)
(Rocket love) (Riding on your rocket) Baby
(Rocket love) (Half a mile from heaven) Rocket love, baby
(Dropped me back down into this cold, into this cold, cold world)
(Rocket love) Rocket love, baby
(Rocket love) Rocket love, baby
