Love Above The Ground Floor

(album: I Don't Speak The Language - 1983)

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
