[Intro]
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 could test
Yet still have a feminine finesse
And so much more
[Chorus]
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
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
[Verse 2]
A female Shakespeare of your time
With looks to blow Picasso's mind
You werе the best
Your body moved with gracе and song
Like symphonies by Bach or Brahms
Nevertheless, oh oh
[Chorus]
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
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
[Refrain]
Doo 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, never, never, never, never know
[Chorus]
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
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)
You took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star
But at a half a mile from heaven (Dropped me back)
You dropped me back down to this cold, cold world
(Oh, oh, oh, you took me riding)
You took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star
But at a half a mile from heaven (But at a half a mile)
(You dropped my Black ass)
You dropped me back down to this cold, cold world
(I would not do that to a dog, 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 (Oh, oh)
You took me riding in your rocket, gave me a star
(Know you hurt me so, but you hurt me)
But at a half a mile from heaven (Woah, woah, woah)
You dropped me back down to this cold, cold world
[Outro]
Oh, oh
Baby, your rocket love
