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 s***e
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)
