When this old world starts a getting me down

And people are just too much for me to face

I'm gonna climb way up to the top of the stairs

And all my cares they drift right into space



Oh on the roof it's peaceful as can be

And there the world below, it don't bother me



No no no no



So when I come home feeling tired and beat

I got to go up where the air is fresh and sweet for me now

I'm far away from the husteling crowd

And all that rat race noise down in the street



Oh on the roof, that's the only place that I know

Look at the city baby

Where you just have to wish to make it so

Lets go up on my roof



And at night the stars, they put on a show for free

And darlin' you can share, share it all with me



Hear what I say

Keep on tellin' you that



Right smack dab in the middle of town

Well I've found a paradise just about trouble proof I know now

And if this old world starts a getting you down

Well there's room enough for two up on my roof



Up on my roof

Up on my roof

You've got to come on up

Bring it on up

Come on up

Come on up



Drop what you're doing tonight

And climb up the stairs with me and see baby

We got the stars up above us and the city lights below

No no no no no no no no

Up on my roof

Up on a roof
