Rocket Love

...ROCKET LOVE... by Stevie Wonder

*from 'Hotter Than July' (1980)*

(Original Key: Abm)

Intro:

Break:

Do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do,

Do do do, do do do, do do do-oo.

Interlude:

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:

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.
