[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
On the roof it's peaceful as can be
And there the world below can't bother me
Let me tell you now
[Verse 2]
When I come home feeling tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (Up on the roof)
I get away from the hustle and crowd
And all that rat race noise down in the street (Up on the roof)
[Chorus]
On the roof's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Oh, let's go up on the roof
[Piano Solo]
[Chorus]
At night the stars put on a show for free
And, darling, you can share it all with me
I keep on telling you
[Verse 3]
Right smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble-proof (Up on the roof)
So if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two, up on the roof (Up on the roof)
[Outro]
Up on the roof, everything is all right
Up on the roof, oh, come on, baby
I just wanna be with you baby up on the roof
Up on the roof, everything is all right
Everything is all right, everything is all right
Up on the roof
