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

On the roof the only place I know

Where you just have to wish to make it so

And 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 crowds

And all that rat race noise down in the street

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 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 telling you right

Smack dab in the middle of town

I 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 roof

Up on the roof

Oh come on baby

Up on the roof

Oh come on honey

Everything is alright

Up on the roof

Said it's alright

Up on the roof we gotta go
