[Intro: Sample]
I got you stuck off the realness
I got you stuck off the realness
[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]
It wasn't raining yet
(Yet)
But it was definitely a little misty on
(But it was definitely)
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
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: Mariah Carey]
Every time I feel the need (and every time)
I envision you caressing me
And go back in time (back in time)
(I go back, I go back, I go back)
To relive the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
[Verse 2: Mariah Carey]
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
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: Mariah Carey]
Every time I feel the need (and every time)
I envision you caressing me
(Envision you, caressing me)
And go back in time (back in time)
(Back)
To relive the splendor of you and I (you and I, you and I)
On the rooftop that rainy night
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
(Every time)
Every time I feel the need (and every time)
I envision you caressing me
(Envision you)
And go back in time (back in time)
To relive the splendor of you and I (you...)
On the rooftop that rainy night
[Bridge: Mariah Carey]
Last night I dreamed that I
(Last night 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 - How I'm missing you)
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
(Every time I...)
Every time I feel the need (and every time)
I envision you caressing me
(Envision you, caressing 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)
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Every time I feel the need (and every time)
(When I feel the need, I envision you)
I envision you caressing 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, you and I)
On the rooftop that rainy night
(On that rainy night)
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Every time I feel the need (and every time)
(Last night I had the strangest dream...)
I envision you caressing 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
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
Every time I feel the need (and every time)
I envision you caressing me
And go back in time (back in time)
To relive the splendor of you and I
On the rooftop that rainy night
