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,
D7sus D7 D7sus D7, B7
And that you were.
With pride and strength,
No one would test,
But yet have femi-nine fi-nesse;
D7sus D7 D7sus D7, B7
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;
D7sus D7 D7sus D7, B7
You were the best.
Your body moved with grace and song,
Like sympho-nies by Bach or Brahms;
D7sus D7 D7sus D7, B7
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,

Verse 3:
The passion burning in your heart,
Would make hell's fire seem like a spark;
D#7sus D#7 D#7sus D#7, C7
Where did it go?
Just why that you would over-night,
Turn love to stone as cold as ice,
D#7sus D#7 D#7sus D#7, C7
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.
