There Goes My Baby - The Drifters
There goes my baby
Moving on down the line
Wondering where, wondering where
He is bound
I broke his heart
And made him cry
Now I'm alone, so all alone
What can I do, what can I do
Just wanna know
Does he love me
Does he really love me
Or is he just playing
Me for a fool
I wonder why he left me
Why did he leave me so all alone
So all alone
I was gonna tell him that I loved him
And that I need him
Beside my side
To be my guide
I wanna know
Where is my baby
I want my baby
I need my baby
I was gonna tell him that I loved him
And that I need him
Beside my side
To be my guide
I wanna know where is my
Where is my baby
I need my baby
I need my baby

Up On The Roof - The Drifters
Intro:
C D
Up on the roof
G Em
Up on the roof
G Em
When this old world starts getting me down
C D G G Em
And people are just too much for me to face
Up on the roof
Em
I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs
C D G G Em
And all my cares just drift right into space
Up on the roof
C
On the roof it's peaceful as can be
G Em C D
And there the world below don't bother me
[ spoken ]
Let me tell ya now
G Em
So when I come home feelin' tired and beat
C D G G Em
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
Up on the roof
Em
I'll get away from the hustling crowd
C D G G Em
And all that rat race noise down in the street
Up on the roof
C
On the roof that's the only place I know
G Em C D
Where you just have to wish to make it so
(Lets go up on the roof)
[Instrumental]
C
At night the stars put on a show for free
G Em C D
And darling you can share it all with me
I keep on telling you
G Em
Right smack dab in the middle of town
C D G
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof
Up on the roof
G Em
And if this old world starts getting you down
C D G Em
There's room enough for two up on the roof
Up on the roof
C D
Up on the roof
G Em
Oh come on baby
g Em
Oh come on on it
C D G
Everything is all right
