Rocket Love Lyrics

Artist: Stevie Wonder
Album: Hotter Than July

Do Do Do, Do Do Do, Do Do Do, Do Do Do
Do Do Do, Do Do Do, Do Do Do-oo

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 feminie 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 Da-aa

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 to 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

Listening carefully in the second last chorus repeat...
"Cold, too cold, you took me riding in your rocket gave me a star, but at a half a mile you dropped MY BLACK ASS on to this cold, cold world..."
That's like the most extremely emotional part of the song, you can't miss it.

I heard the song this morning and it really describes what I recently experienced with a who I thought was a dear friend to me. He took me riding in his rocket gave me a star, but at a half a mile from heaven he dropped me back down into this cold cold world. Wow, I'm left to pick up all the broken pieces to my heart. The hurting part about is I'll never forget him...we were born on the same day, July 29th!

DEEP LYRICS FROM SOME ONE WHO IS TRUELY IN LOVE

This is my favorite Stevie Wonder song -- though regrettably, I too experienced it firsthand. Even worse, the guy always sang me the verse -- while I lived the chorus.

Amazing how songs describe exactly what we are going thru. This song is one of my favorites and describes what I am dealing with currently.
