The Roof

Mariah Carey

[Intro]
Ah, ah mmmm hmmm
Oh oh ho ho
(I got you stuff off the realness)
Aye hey hey yeah
Oh ho, yeah oh ho
(I got you stuff off the realness)
Yeah, hey mmmm

[Verse 1]
It wasn't raining yet (yet)
But it was definately (but it was definately)
A little misty on that warm November night
And my heart was pounding (pounding)
My inner voice resounding (ooh woo)
Begging me to turn away
But I just had to see your face

To feel alive
And then you casually walked into the room
And I was twisted in the web
Of my desire for you
(And I was twisted)
My apprehension blew away
I only wanted you
To taste my sadness as you kissed me in the dark

[Chorus]
Everytime I feel the need
I envision you, caressing me
And go back in time
To relieve the splender of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night

[Verse 2]
And so we finished the Moet and
Started feeling liberated
And I surrendered as you took me in your arms
(you took me in your arms)
I was so caught up in the moment
I couldn't bear to let you go yet
(So I)
Threw caution to the wind
And started listening to my longing heart

And then you softly pressed your lips to mine
And feelings surfaced I'd suppressed for such a long time
(And I was lifted)
And for a while I forgot
The sorrow and pain
And melted with you as we stood
There in the rain

[Chorus]
Everytime I feel the need
I envision you, caressing me
And go back in time
To relieve the splender of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night

Everytime I feel the need
I envision you, caressing me
And go back in time
To relieve the splender of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night

[Bridge]
Last night I dreamed that I
Whispered the words I love you
And touched you so very
Subtly as we were kissing goodbye

Ah ah ah
Yeah baby
I'm missing you

[Chorus]
Everytime I feel the need
I envision you, caressing me
And go back in time
To relieve the splender of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night

Everytime I feel the need
I envision you, caressing me
And go back in time
To relieve the splender of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night

Everytime I feel the need
I envision you, caressing me
And go back in time
To relieve the splender of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night

Everytime I feel the need
I envision you, caressing me
And go back in time
To relieve the splender of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
