Rocket Love
Stevie Wonder
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

About this Song
Rocket Love by Stevie Wonder is a soulful ballad that explores the emotional upheaval of a romantic relationship that has faced sudden, unexpected heartbreak. The song uses the metaphor of a space journey to describe the highs and lows of a love affair, likening the intensity and passion of falling in love to a rocket reaching incredible heights. However, much like a rocket that eventually loses momentum and falls back to Earth, the relationship crashes, leaving feelings of disappointment and loneliness. Key themes include love, heartbreak, betrayal, and the emotional pain of unfulfilled expectations. A particularly poignant moment in the song is when Stevie Wonder sings about the deep sense of betrayal and abandonment, capturing the listener’s empathy for his emotional vulnerability.
