Up On the Roof
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
On the roof, it’s peaceful as can be, baby
Oooh and there the world
Below can’t bother me, yeah
Let me tell you now
When I come home feelin’ 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
Now listen here
On the roof, the only place I know
Oooh where you just have to
Wish to make it so let’s go up on the roof
La la la la la la la … (up on the roof)
At night the stars put on a show for free
Oh, and, darling, you can share
It all with me, oh, oh baby
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 roo oo oof (up on the roof)
