Up On The Roof Lyrics - Dance With Me - 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, it's peaceful as can be 

And there the world below can't bother me 

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 

Where you just have to wish to make it so 

Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof) 

At night the stars put on a show for free 

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 roo-oo-oof (up on the roof) 

Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof) 

Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof) 

Everything is all right (up on the roof)
