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
