The Roof (When I Feel The Need)

Albert Johnson / Jean Olivier / Kejuan Muchita / Mariah Carey / Mark Cory Rooney / Samuel Barnes

To all the killers and a hundred dollar billers
To all the killers and a hundred dollar billers

It wasn't raining yet (yet)
But it was definitely (but it was definitely) a little misty on that warm November night
And my heart was pounding (pounding)
My inner voice resounding (ah)
Begging me to turn away, but I just had to see your face
To feel alive (feel alive)
And then you casually walked in the room (ah)
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 mе in the dark

Every time I feel thе need (and every time)
I envision you caressin' me
And go back in time (back in time)
To relive the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night

And so we finished the moët and I 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)
So I threw caution to the wind and started listening to my longing heart (heart)
And then you softly pressed your lips to mine (ah)
And feelings surfaced I'd suppressed for such a 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

Every time I feel the need (and every time)
I envision you caressin' me (envision you, caressin' me)
And go back in time (back in time, back)
To relive the splendor of you and I (you)
On the rooftop that rainy night

Last night I (last night I) dreamed that I (dreamed that I)
Whispered the words I love you (that I love you, boy)
And touched you so very (touched)
Subtly as we were kissing goodbye (kiss, kiss, bye)
Pretty baby, boy (pretty baby, boy)
How I'm missin' you

(Every time) every time I feel the need (and every time)
I envision you caressin' me (caressin' me)
And go back in time (back in time)
To relive the splendor of you and I (I go back)
On the rooftop that rainy night (on the roof that rainy night)

Every time I feel the need (and every time, when I feel the need)
I envision you caressin' me (over and, over and, over again)
And go back in time (back in time)
To relive the splendor of you and I (it was, oh, so sweet)
On the rooftop that rainy night (on that rainy night)

Every time I feel the need (and every time, last night I had the strangest dream)
I envision you caressin' me (it was actually quite symbolic)
And go back in time (back in time, as I whispered that I loved you)
To relive the splendor of you and I (very subtly)
On the rooftop that rainy night

Baby, every time (when I feel the need)
When I feel the need, I envision you
Over and, over and, over again
When I feel the need to relive the splendor of you and I (whenever I feel the need I envision)
On the rooftop (whenever I feel the need I envision)
Last night I had the strangest dream (you and I on that rainy night)
It was actually quite symbolic
It was, oh, so sweet
And I whispered that I loved you baby
Very subtly (ah)
