The Roof
Mariah Carey feat. Mobb Deep Lyrics

Oh yeah
A moment of excitement and confirmation that what she will sing is important.

Oh, oh, yeah, oh, oh, yeah
Reinforcement of the feeling of excitement and importance of the song.

It wasn't raining yet
The weather was calm, but there was a sense of anticipation.

But it was definitely
Her emotions were already rising, despite the lack of physical signifiers.

A little misty on
A metaphorical mist encompasses her emotions - something is coming that she can't quite see or grasp.

That warm November night
She sets the scene of where and when this encounter takes place.

And my heart was pounding
Her emotions were heightened, she was feeling a strong sense of anticipation or fear.

My inner voice resounding
Her instincts were loud and direct, telling her what she truly wanted and needed.

Begging me to turn away
Her inner voice was trying to protect her from getting hurt.

But I just had to see your face
Her desire to see this person was too strong - she couldn't resist even if it was risky.

To feel alive
This encounter was important for her to feel alive, to take a risk, to experience something new and thrilling.

And then you casually walked in the room
The appearance of this person is significant - they hold a special power over her.

And I was twisted in the web
She was trapped in her own desire for this person, unable to resist or escape.

Of my desire for you
She was consumed with wanting this person, it was all she could think about.

My apprehension blew away
Her fear and doubts disappeared when she saw them again, all she wanted was to be with them.

I only wanted you
This person was the only thing that mattered to her in that moment.

To taste my sadness
She wanted this person to understand her pain and sadness, to feel it with her so she didn't have to bear it alone.

As you kissed me in the dark
Their physical touch was important, it helped her forget about her worries and just be in the moment with them.

Every time I feel the need
This experience was so powerful that it still affects her current feelings and desires.

I envision you caressing me
She imagines physical touch from this person as a way of fulfilling her desires.

And go back in time
She relives the past every time she thinks of this person, wanting to experience that same intense connection again.

To relieve the splendor of you and I
She wants to feel that same magic and intensity that they had on the rooftop that rainy night.

On the rooftop that rainy night
A specific moment in time and location that defines their relationship.

And so we finished the Moet and
They shared a special moment of celebration with each other, cementing their bond.

Started feeling liberated
Their relationship was giving them a sense of freedom and release from their usual lives and worries.

And I surrendered as you took me
She gave herself completely to this person, relinquishing control and letting them guide her.

In your arms
Their physical embrace was essential to their connection, a moment of safety and comfort from the rest of the world.

I was so caught up in the moment
The intensity of their relationship made it hard for her to think about anything else.

I couldn't bear to let you go yet
She wanted to hold onto this moment forever, not wanting it to end.

So I threw caution to the wind
She was willing to take risks and live in the moment, disregarding any potential consequences.

And started listening to my longing heart
Her deep desires and emotions were taking over her rational mind, leading her to follow her heart instead.

And then you softly pressed your lips to mine
Their physical intimacy was a way of expressing their deep feelings for each other, solidifying their bond.

And feelings surfaced I'd suppressed
The intensity of their connection made her feel deeply, even when she thought she had buried those feelings.

For such a long time
These emotions had been brewing and building up over a long period of time, waiting for the opportunity to be expressed.

And for a while I forgot
Their moment together made her forget her pain and worries, giving her a sense of relief and happiness.

The sorrow and the pain
She had been carrying a burden of sadness and hurt, but in that moment, it was lifted.

And melted with you as we stood
Their physical embrace was a way of transcending boundaries, feeling like they were becoming one person.

There in the rain
The rain is a metaphor for the rough times they had been through together, but also the cleansing and healing power of their connection.

Last night I dreamed that I
Her dreams are still filled with thoughts of this person, reflecting her unresolved feelings.

Whispered the words I love you
Her love for this person is still strong and unyielding, never wavering.

And touched you so very
Their physical touch is always important, a way of expressing their deeper feelings.

Subtly as we were kissing goodbye
Even when they have to part ways, their physical intimacy lingers, a way of continuing their connection.

Pretty baby, how I'm missing you
She still longs for this person, feeling their absence acutely even in their moments apart.
