What is it about love that makes you so vulnerable? The lyrics to Stevie Wonder’s Rocket Love in the first verse go like this:

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

The ride is worth it my love.
