Lyrics

[Intro: Prodigy & sample] Infamous, it don't stop Yeah, yeah Infamous, knock 'em out the box Yo I got you stuck off the realness Infamous, knock 'em out the box 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...) [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 I score up in the project hall Third floor, grab a taste 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 see it crystal Keep you on my side, you the ficial [Verse 4: Havoc & Big Noyd] Ain't it ill how we click boo, 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 Chanel Push big G's Rapper Noyd simply hit me We can do it on the rooftop Do it till we both drop M-O-B-B with Mariah sounds so hot [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 & Prodigy] Every time I feel the need (and every time) (Infamous, it don't stop) (Infamous, rocks the box) I envision you caressing me (Infamous, knock 'em out the box) And go back in time (back in time) To relive the splendor of you and I (Infamous, rocks the box) On the rooftop that rainy night (Infamous, knock 'em out the box) [Outro: Havoc] Word up!
