Up on the Roof Songtext
von The Drifters

When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space

On the roof, the only place I know (ah-ah)
Where you just have to wish to make it so (ah-ah)
Let me tell you now

When I come home feelin′ tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)
I get away from the hustling crowd
And all that rat race noise down in the street (up on the roof)

On the roof, the only place I know (ah-ah)
Where you just have to wish to make it so (ah-ah)
Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof)


At night, the stars put on a show for free (ah-ah)
And darling, you can share it all with me
I keep a-tellin′ you

Right smack-dab in the middle of town
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof)
And if this world starts getting you down
There′s room enough for two

Up on the roof (up on the roof)
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof)
Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)
Everything is alright (up on the roof)
Said it′s all right (up on the roof)
Oh, we gotta go (up on the roof)
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
We gotta go (up on the roof)
