"Rocket Love"

Do-do-doo

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 had feminine finesse
And so much more

(reprise)
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

A female Shakespeare of your time
With looks to blow Picasso’s mind
You were the best
Your body moves with grace and song
Like symphonies by Bach or Brahms
Nevertheless

(reprise)

Da-da-daa
Da-da-daaaa
Da-da-daaaa
Da-da-daaaa
Da-da-daaaa
Da-da-daaaa

The passion burning in your heart
Would make hell’s fire feel 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

(reprise) repeat

I would not do that to a dog, baby
Ohhh, oh baby – rocket love!
