Mariah Carey - The Roof Lyrics
(I got you stuck off the realness)
(I got you stuck off the realness)
It wasn't raining yet
But it was definitely a little misty on
And my heart was 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
To taste my sadness
As you kissed me in the dark
[Chorus:]
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
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
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]
Last night I dreamed that I
Whispered the words I love you
And touched you so very
Subtly as we were kissing goodbye
(Pretty baby - How I'm missing you)
[Chorus]

Mariah Carey The Roof Comments
Definitivamente está la mejor canción R&B que existe 😍
I love this song
Love it...music is very nice
Verdugo Hills HS 97!!
Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! ❤💕💗💖💞
Most underrated Mariah song......and one of my favourites
I need some Valentine's tonight.
I love you Mariah ♥️
Best eye shadow ever?
This song always put me in the mood. Such a gem, a lyrical masterpiece.
At first I was like okay its okay but now I'm fucking addicted !!!! Help please , I cant stop listening 💔💗💔 this is an infinite loop
I still love this song 🔥
What the hell is she saying? Vocals are so airy you can't hardly understand what she is saying.
ace tin are you serious?! As I said before, her vocals are meant to sound this way in the track! I couldn’t imagine her singing it any other way and don’t compare her to copy cat Ari. It’d be boring if she kept sounding the exact same, this is so mesmerising, perfect to listen to if you want to lay down, close your eyes and listen to soft vocals that aren’t deafening! You clearly think otherwise, but this is one of her best works. Oh and I’d like to see you or anyone else try and sing this song, almost impossible! She’s brilliant, the vocals and lyrics are above and beyond! One of my fav tracks along with Breakdown on this album!
@Julie Hane if you think that murmuring the entire song is good vocal then you don't much much about what a good vocal is. Go ahead and praise to singers like this. I would continue to listen to singers who actually pronounce words that I could understand.
ace tin I understand every word she says, don’t know what your first language is but it’s definitely not English!
@Julie Hane I'm very verse in my English thank you very much. For someone whose renowned for her voice, she has horrible pronounciation and diction to the point where she is slurring her speech.
@ace tin It's one song of the entire album, you are over-thinking this. Regardless of what you say, the song and the way it was assembled is still far better than anything you hear today. If you don't like the song, fair enough, it isn't your style. I LOVE IT PERIODT.
I still think this was one of her best songs!!
Masterpiece 🌷
She def killed the Mobb beat. Mariah has always been underrated. 1 of my favorite songs
Mobb Deep ✌️ 🙏
I you stuck off the realness - RIP Prodigy 🙏🏾
Let's not forget MOBB DEEP killed this...
This song and Breakdown are two of her very best songs but they're so underrated....pure quality.
this is literally one of my top 5 fave songs of her. Her vocals/runs are so smooth in this. This will always be a jam..to be real this whole album was amazing!
This album was a masterpiece. She's as talented as a songwriter as she is a singer. You're music saved me from my childhood💜💚
2020 ayyyyyyyyyy! She's a legend.
im in awe of her songwriting skills. if love doesn't feel like this, i don't want it. shoutout to kelly price on the background vocals
What a misunderstood genius....
Who's watching this in February 2020???
Songs like this are why Mariah Carey is being inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. She's not only The Voice of our generation she's also the lyricist of our generation and her pen game is as sharp as ever. If you haven't listened to her latest album, Caution, do yourself a favor and do so ASAP.

2k20 anyone? 👀
Mariah pure gold..Prodigy RIP legend
RIP Prodigy :(
The roof is on fiiire.... ;)
STILL! #BANGS
Who here 2020? This song is timeless 💪🏿
I liked the fact that she wanted to not only use Mobb Deep's "Shook ones pt 2" beat but to have them as a feature as well✊👍👌! This video looks like it's in 80's mode with the fashion. Good to see Big Noyd in the video too! Nothing but pure nostalgia!! Time REALLY FLIES!! This video is nearly 23 years old. I was 20 when this video came out! I've heard the"Butterfly" album once and so far this my favorite song. My other favorite song is "Breakdown" ft BTNH!! A classic album 👌👍!!!
she looks so pretty here.. stunning
🤎💕💕
To every thug we know was bad for us but we’re in love with...
Back when Mariah was sexy. Now she looks like a walnut headed chipmunk trying to salvage what little is left of her glory days.
@hamza zaghdoud I think I'll leave the ropes and stools to you Hamza.
@Luis Santos Great clapback
@hamza zaghdoud I wasn't trying to clap back because you are worthless...as in not worth the effort.
@Luis Santos whatever helps you sleep at night
AHAHAHAHA people age and people change you'll see that for yourself mister
Inducted into the songwriter hall of fame today!
🎶🎵❤❤❤🎵🎶
Who's here 2020?
I don't know but phrasing is just not given as much recognition as other musical abilities. Just notice how clever Mariah (in The Roof) and Usher (Confessions pt 1) were in doing it perfectly. Phrasing makes songs very melodic and smooth while being able to fit all the right words in a verse. It's just so beautiful!!!
Here after I found out she wrote this song. 😍
This song didn’t need mobb deep. I just love butterfly album.
Mariah just got inducted into Songwriters All of Fame. So, I decided to come remind myself how long overdue she’s deserved her flowers.
Still here in 2020. Love you Mariah ❤
2020 NEW YEAR !! BEST TRACK EVER !!
R.I.P. Prodigy
Song is still a banger.
Oh that's gorgeous.
this had to be her #20th
can we talk about how this video is so beautiful and imersive, I'm mean, look at these backlights in 4:02! this woman is a genius...
This song makes me realize how okay I am to pass away at this point
Having a moment...
My favorite Mc song. This song is so amazing. Her vocals , her style and her story telling. Impeccable to say the least. QueenMariah ❤
I remember this song from 1998 and 1999 it was a nice modern song and video and rest in peace (RIP) to one the mobb
deep rappers that died in 2016 or 2015 because he was eating a boiled egg and then choked on it /yo me acuerdo de esta cancion en ano 1998 y 99 era muy moderna y el video tambien .uno de los raperos del grupo mobb deep fallecio(se murio) en el ano 2016 o 2015 porque se ahogo con un huevo sancochado que se queria comer que decanse en paz( RIP)
I'm in my own world everytime listening to this masterpiece.
Mariah remembers every part of this song😍
2020 still listening to her...my favorite song
I love this song...the beat the vibe the way she makes u feel with the lower tones of her voice 2020 and her music still better than most
I wish Mariah would use me as her personal toilet
Classic💯 listening in 2020
🎶🎶🎶🎶💦🔥💦🎶🎶🎶🎶
Mobb Deep And Mariah! ❤🌙
what's her hair color?
Dirty blonde
ᐯ丨乃乇 😂😂
The Roof and Breakdown! Two of my favorites from Mariah. 😍
My favorite song... 🖤
I can feel every word. It’s a timeless piece.
A great jam to start 2020. Who's listening?
2020 and I’m still obsessed ;)
Minha Música favorita ❤
And "Breakdown" ❤
Minha tbm ksks
Masterpiece
1st day of 2020 and I'm bringing this song with me until the next decade and the next one and the next one.... I fucking cherish this gem.
Who's watching this for the new decade 2020
A BANGER IN 2020 STILL!!!!!
Happy New Year, everyone! 😄❤💃👏🎈🎉
Rip Prodigy you will be missed.
Verse 3: Prodigy]
(Infamous rocks the box)
I got you stuck off the realness
Feel this pourin down on your buildings
The rain about to fall us
Score up in the project hall
Third floor gravitates on the staircase
As we embrace strictly loud without the raw bass
Me and my ol' dog blowin' out the smokes fog
But over all you the one that's like my pistol, I said crystal
Keep you on my side 'til the ficial (yo, yo, yo, yo)
[Verse 4: Havoc/Big Noyd]
Ain't it ill how we click, boo? Just me and you
Got me stuck off the realness, just me and you
Up on the roof beats, Pebble beach
Talk to me anytime, even when I wit my peeps
Ruler L, why you smell like the perfume Channel?
Push big G's rappin' all is simply heavy
We can do it on a roof top
Do it 'til we both drop
M-O-B-B with Mariah sounds so hot

This is not my favourite Mariah song but I LOVE the theme of it!
And man, doesn’t she look stunning in this video? She looks so candid and beautiful 🤩
Song and video is still sooo awesome
i love this song SOO much! mariah is a great lyricist and the melody is beautiful
DECEMBER 28th 2019 🔥👑🥰
i truly miss this mariah. she wasn’t overly self aware.she was just lost in the feelings and emotions of the song. no stiff posing. she felt herself 100%. which is why everyone gravitates towards this era of mariah.
Yeah well Mariah didn't dislocate her shoulder here now did she, or got nerve damaging or had twins etc.
R.I.P. P, underrated Hit!
Hypnotizing💛 Dreamy💜 Makes me want to go get comfy and dream all night while this track is playing on repeat
Ya, Maria, when she went through her crap phrase.
"I got you stuck off the REALNESS"
R.I.P Prodigy 👑
Best part lol..
