| Ricky’s up on the roof
|
| Overlooking the city
|
| Gonna kiss his cheek
|
| She knows this
|
| Her mama can’t stop
|
| It’ll happen tonight
|
| It’ll taste so sweet
|
| A cool breeze comes up from the river
|
| She’s just a breath away
|
| The sound of sweet soul music plays
|
| There’s love above the ground floor
|
| Ricky’s on the roof tonight
|
| Makin' love
|
| Holding onto that boy so tight
|
| Love above the ground floor
|
| Ricky leaves the world below
|
| Don’t come down
|
| And don’t you ever Let. |
| Him. |
| Go
|
| Street lights flashing and neon
|
| Every once in awhile
|
| He gets to see her face
|
| Brown eyes, red lips say
|
| «C'mon, baby.
|
| Come a little bit closer.
|
| Let me leave my trace»
|
| Ooo — Ooo — Ooo
|
| Downtown, heartbeats are writhin'
|
| Can’t stop what’s comin' true
|
| Tonight is dedicated to
|
| Love above the ground floor
|
| Ricky’s on the roof tonight
|
| Makin' love
|
| Holding onto that boy so tight
|
| Love above the ground floor
|
| Ricky leaves 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 wond’ring
|
| That brings such happiness
|
| The only word left to say is:
|
| Yes!
|
| (Oh, Oh, yes.)
|
| There’s love above the ground floor
|
| Ricky’s on the roof tonight
|
| Makin' love
|
| Holding onto that boy so tight
|
| Love above the ground floor
|
| Ricky leaves the world below
|
| Don’t come down
|
| And don’t you ever Let. |
| Him. |
| Go |
