[Intro: Mobb Deep & (Mariah Carey)]
I got you stuck off the realness
I got you stuck off the realness
I got you stuck off the realness
I got you stuck off the realness
I got you stuck off the realness (Oh, oh, oh)
I got you stuck off the realness
[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]
It wasn't raining yet (Yet)
But it was definitely (It was definitely)
A little misty on that warm November night
And my heart was pounding (Pounding)
My inner voice resounding
Begging me to turn away
But I just had to see your face to feel alive
[Pre-Chorus: Mariah Carey]
And then you casually walked into the room
And I was twisted in the web
Of my desirе for you
My apprehension blew away
I only wantеd you to taste my sadness
As you kissed me in the dark
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
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
[Verse 2: Mariah Carey]
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
[Pre-Chorus: Mariah Carey]
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: Mariah Carey]
Every time I feel the need
I envision you caressing me (Envision you caressing me)
And go back in time
To relieve the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
Every time I feel the need
I envision you (Envision you) caressing me
And go back in time
To relive the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
[Bridge: Mariah Carey]
Last night I dreamed that I
Whispered the words 'I love you'
And touched you so very subtly
As we were kissing goodbye
Ooh, yeah, yeah
Hey, baby
I'm missing you
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Every time (Every time) I feel the need
I envision you caressing me (Envision you caressing me)
And go back in time (I go back)
To relive the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night (On the roof that rainy night)
Every time I feel the need (When I feel the need)
I envision you caressing me
(I envision you over and over and over again)
And go back in time
To relive the splendor of you and I
(It was, oh, so sweet you and I)
On the rooftop that rainy night (On that rainy night)
Every time I feel the need
(Last night I had the strangest dream)
I envision you caressing me (It was actually quite symbolic)
And go back in time (As I whispered that I loved you)
To relive the splendor of you and I (Very subtly)
Every time (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
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
Every time (Every time) I feel the need
I envision you caressing me
And go back in time
To relive the splendor of you and I
I got you stuck off the realness
I got you stuck off the realness
I got you stuck off the realness
I got you stuck off the realness
I got you stuck off the realness (Oh, oh, oh)
I got you stuck off the realness
