** (Original Key: ) Intro: (x2) Break: Do do do, do do do, Do do do, do do do, Do do do, do do do, Do do do-oo. Interlude: (x2) Verse 1: I longed for you since I was born; A woman sensi-tive and warm, And that you were. With pride and strength, No one would test, But yet have femi-nine fi-nesse; And so much more. Chorus 1: 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. Interlude: (x2) Verse 2: A female Shakespeare of your time, With looks to blow Pi-casso's mind; You were the best. Your body moved with grace and song, Like sympho-nies by Bach or Brahms; Neverthe-less. Oh, oh; Chorus 2: 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. Break: Do do do, do do do, Do do do, do do do, Do do do, do do do, *KEY CHANGE* ------------ 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 over-night, Turn love to stone as cold as ice, I'll never know. Chorus 3: 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). Chorus 4: 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. (I would not do that to a dog). Chorus 5: 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. Outro: Rocket love.
