Matthew Wilder Love Above The Ground Floor
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
(instrumental break)
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
