(Gerry Goffin / Carole King)

 

When this old world starts getting me down

And people are much too much for me face

I climb way up 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

Can't bother me

 

Keep a-telling you 

Right slap, dab in the middle of town

I've found a paradise that's trouble-free

Yes, I have now

When this world starts getting you down

There's room enough for two 

Up on the roof

Up on the roof

 

Everything is all right

Up on the roof

Oh, come on baby

Up on the roof

Oh, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Up on the roof
