The Roof (When I Feel the Need)

[Intro: Mobb Deep, Mobb Deep & Mariah Carey]

To all the killers and a hundred dollar billers

To all the killers and a hundred dollar billers

[Verse 1: Mariah Carey, Brandy & Both]

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 (Ahh)

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 (Ahh)

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

[Chorus: Mariah Carey & Brandy]

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

[Verse 2: Mariah Carey, Brandy & Both]

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 (Ahh)

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

[Chorus: Mariah Carey & Brandy]

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

[Bridge: Mariah Carey, Brandy & both]

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

[Chorus: Mariah Carey & Brandy]

(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)

[Chorus: Mariah Carey & Brandy]

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)

[Chorus: Mariah Carey & Brandy]

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

[Outro: Mariah Carey & Brandy]

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 (Ahh)
