[Intro: The Drifters] Up on the roof On the roof When this whole start getting me down And people are just too much For me to take I climb way up to the top of the stairs And all my cares just drift right into space [Chorus: The Drifters] On the roof is peaceful as can be And there the world below can't bother me Let me tell you now when I... [Verse 1] Why they got to keep saying act our age When we all at a different stage A different page Stories out of every book Let me show you how different looks Different looks When I'm up I'm so far gone Shipping out like Amazon On the run like a marathon Got my queen so Ill carry-on Over fences Barry bonds I've been down for the count again Bounce back so the round don't end Chop it up like this my blend And she my friend Is stronger than h**n I recommend Get yourself up out of the rut It's nothing much Something only time can touch In my head I've been acting up Take second just to back it up Back it up [Chorus: The Drifters] On the roof is peaceful as can be And there the world below can't bother me Let me tell you now when I...

[Outro: The Drifters] And if this world starts getting you down There's room enough for two up on the roof (Up on the roof)
