[Verse 1 - Terry Ellis]
Looking at the sky at night
Little bitty circles of light
You point out a constellation that you like

And tell me all about it
Cause you know about it
And I love that you know stuff like that
Love that the little things means so much
That's why I'm always smiling
I swear I smile my face off
Let me kiss you face off
Right before we take off

[Chorus]
In this rocket (of love)
In this rocket (of love)
And you got me so high
Higher than I ever been
And you got me so high
Higher than I ever been

[Bridge - Rhona Bennett]
Up in the stars with you
Up in the stars with you
Up in the stars with you
Up in the stars

[Verse 2 - Cindy Herron-Braggs]
Darker than I've ever seen ya
Don't think I ever felt so small
But darkness never felt so bright
And in your arms
It's hard to feel afraid at all
On your neck I feel your breath
Chills up my spine
Feels I'm in mine
All the time
That's why I'm always smiling
I swear I smile my face off
Let me kiss you face off
Right before we take of

[Chorus]
In this rocket (of love)
In this rocket (of love)
And you got me so high
Higher than I ever been
And you got me so high
Higher than I ever been

[Bridge - Rhona Bennett]
Up in the stars with you
Up in the stars with you
Up in the stars with you
Up in the stars

[Verse 3 - Rhona Bennett]
Well if this world don't understand the love
That we share between us babe
Oh then we'll fly away
Fly away and just find one that does

[Chorus]
In this rocket (of love)
In this rocket (of love)
And you got me so high
Higher than I ever been

And you me so high
Higher than I ever been

Cindy Herron, Terry Ellis, Maxine Jones, and Dawn Robinson are the original members of the R&B girl group En Vogue. The group was put together by producers Thomas McElroy and Denzil Foster after a talent search in Oakland, California in 1989. Their debut album Born to Sing was released in 1990 and featured the #1 R&B hits “You Don’t Have To Worry,” “Lies,” and their platinum debut single “Hold On,” which also peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and won a Billboard and Soul Train Music Award. Their 1992 follow-up album Funky Divas hit #1 on the Billboard R&B Albums chart and peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200 on its way to triple platinum status. The lead single, “My Lovin' (You’re Never Gonna Get It),” helped propel that success as it hit #1 on the Billboard R&B Singles chart and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album also featured the #1 R&B hit cover of Aretha Franklin’s “Giving Him Something He Can Feel” as well as the Top 10 pop single “Free Your Mind.”

In 1993, they released the EP Runaway Love and made appearances on the TV shows In Living Color, Roc and A Different World. In 1994, they collaborated with Salt-N-Pepa on their Top 3 platinum single “Whatta Man” and in 1996 they contributed to the Set It Off soundtrack with their hit single “Don’t Let Go (Love)” which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and hit #1 on the R&B Singles chart.

While working on their third album, Dawn Robinson decided to leave the group due to issues with management. The group decided to go on as a trio and released their third platinum album EV3 in 1997 featuring the Top 10 R&B/Top 20 pop hit “Whatever,” which was produced and co-written by Babyface. They went on to release three more albums—Masterpiece Theatre in 2000, The Gift of Christmas in 2002, and Soul Flower in 2004. During that time, Maxine Jones left the group in 2001 and was replaced by Amanda Cole, and Cole was later replaced in 2003 by Rhona Bennett. While the original four members have reunited for performances throughout the years, the current lineup consists of Herron, Ellis, and Bennett, and they released the single “Déjà Vu” in 2016 and released their album Electric Café in 2018.
