When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to face
I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs 
Where all my cares just drift right into space
And on the roof, it's peaceful as can be, oh yeah 
And there the world below don't bother me, no, no

So when I come home feeling tired and beat
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)
And on the roof, it's the only place I know
Where you just have to wish to make it so, oh baby

(up on the roof, up on the roof)
And at night the stars, they put on a show for free, yeah
And, darling, you, you can share it all with me 
Keep telling you: right smack' dab in the middle of town 
I found a paradise that's trouble-proof

And if the world starts a-getting you down
There is room enough for two
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
Up on the roof (up on the roof)
You and me, baby, baby (up on the roof)
Up on the roof, oh yeah

That's a matter from it's alright  
Everything is alright
