The Roof lyrics

(I got you stuck off the realness)

(I got you stuck off the realness)

It wasn't raining yet

But it was definitely a little misty on

That warm November night

And my heart was pounding

My inner voice resounding

Begging me to turn away

But I just had to see your face

To feel alive

And then you casually walked in 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:]

Every time I feel the need

I envision you caressing me

And go back in time

To relive the splendor of you and I

On the rooftop that rainy night

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 long time

(And I was lifted)

And for a while I forgot

The sorrow and the pain

And melted with you as we stood

There in the rain

[Chorus]

Last night I dreamed that I

Whispered the words I love you

And touched you so very

Subtly as we were kissing goodbye

(Pretty baby - How I'm missing you)

[Chorus]
