Lyrics

Ricky's up on the rooftop
Overlooking the city, gonna kiss his cheek
She knows this, her mama can't stop
It happens tonight, it's gonna taste so sweet
A cool breeze comes up from the river
She stands a breath away
The sound of sweet soul music play
There's love above the ground floor
Ricky's on the roof tonight
Making 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
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-ooh, ooh
Downtown, heartbeats are writhing
Can't stop what's comin' true
Tonight is dedicated to
Love above the ground floor
Ricky's on the roof tonight
Making 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
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
No one in the world would walk away from the wondering
That brings such happiness
The only word left to say is yes
(Oh, yes)
There's love above the ground floor
Ricky's on the roof tonight
Making love
Holding onto that boy so tight
Love above the ground floor
Ricky leaves the world below (Ricky leaves the world below0
Don't come down (don't come down)
And don't you ever let him go
There's love above the ground floor
Ricky's on the roof tonight
Making love
Holding onto that boy so tight
Love above the ground floor
Ricky leaves the world below
Don't come down
