Up on the Roof
When this old world starts getting me down
And people are much, too much for me to face
I'll climb my way to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just fade right into space
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there, the world below don't bother me
When I come home feeling tired and beat
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I'll get away from the hustling crowds
And all that rat race noise down on the street
On the roof's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Come on, let's go up on the roof
Ooh-ooh, baby, oh, come on, baby, baby
At night, the stars put on a show for free
And, darling, you can share it all with me
Let me tell you better on vibe smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble-free
And if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two up on the roof
Up on the roof
Everything is alright
Up on the roof
Everything is all right
Up on, up on the roof, yeah
Up on the roof
And people are much, too much for me to face
I'll climb my way to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just fade right into space
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
And there, the world below don't bother me
When I come home feeling tired and beat
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I'll get away from the hustling crowds
And all that rat race noise down on the street
On the roof's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Come on, let's go up on the roof
Ooh-ooh, baby, oh, come on, baby, baby
At night, the stars put on a show for free
And, darling, you can share it all with me
Let me tell you better on vibe smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble-free
And if this world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two up on the roof
Up on the roof
Everything is alright
Up on the roof
Everything is all right
Up on, up on the roof, yeah
Up on the roof
