The Roof (Back in Time) Lyrics » Mariah Carey
[Intro: Sample]
I got you stuck off the realness
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

About Mariah Carey’s The Roof (Back in Time) from Butterfly (1997)
“The Roof” is the third single from Mariah Carey’s 1997 album
Butterfly
. Due to conflicts with the record label, the single recieved a limited worldwide release and did not chart well in any major music markets. The song itself, however, recieved positive review from critics.
In August 2020, Carey revealed the inspiration behind the song was her romantic encounter with the then-New York Yankees shortstop, Derek Jeter. The two kissed on the roof of his apartment building. When asked if she remembered the moment, Carey responded:
“Of course I do! I can never forget that moment […] I mean, it’s not like it was some intensely deep, intellectually stimulating — again, it was a great moment, and it happened in a divine way because it helped me get past living there, in Sing Sing, under those rules and regulations.”
