When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face (Up on the roof)
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space (Up on the roof)

On the roof its peaceful as can be
And there the world below cant bother me

Let me tell you now 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 hustling crowd
And all that rat race noise down in the street (Up on the roof)

On the roofs the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Lets go 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 found a paradise thats trouble proof (Up on the roof)
And if this world starts getting you down
Theres room enough for two up on the roof (Up on the roof)

Up on the roof (Up on the roof)
Oh, come on, baby (Up, up on the roof)
Oh, come on, darling (Up on the roof)
Up on the roof (Up, up on the roof)

Oh, come on, baby (Up on the roof)
Lets go up on the roof (Up, up on the roof)
Oh, come on, darling (Up on the roof)
(Up, up on the roof)

(Up on the roof)
(Up, up on the roof)
(Up on the roof)
(Up, up on the roo
