Rickie’s up on the rooftop Overlooking the city, gonna kiss his cheek She knows this, her mama can’t stop If it happens tonight, it’s gonna taste so sweet
A cool breeze comes up from the river She stands a breath away The sounds of sweet soul music play
There’s love above the ground floor Rickie’s on the roof tonight Making love Holding on to that boy so tight Love above the ground floor Rickie, leave the world below Don’t come down And don’t you ever let him go
Streetlights, flash of the neon Every once in a while, he gets to see her face Brown eyes, red lips say, “Come on, baby Come a little bit closer, let me leave my trace”
Ooh, downtown, heartbeats are rising Can’t stop what’s coming true Tonight is dedicated to
There’s love above the ground floor Rickie’s on the roof tonight Making love Holding on to that boy so tight Love above the ground floor Rickie, leave the world below Don’t come down And don’t you ever let him go
No one in the world would walk away from the one dream That brings such happiness The only word left to say is yes Oh yes
There’s love above the ground floor Rickie’s on the roof tonight Making love Holding on to that boy so tight Love above the ground floor Rickie, leave the world below (Rickie, leave the world below) Don’t come down (Don’t come down) And don’t you ever let him go
Love above the ground floor Rickie’s on the roof tonight Making love Holding on to that boy so tight Love above the ground floor (Yeah) Rickie, leave the world below Don’t come down
