When this old world
Starts geiiing me down
And people are iusi

Too much
For me to face
I climb way up
To the top of the stairs

And all my cores
Just drift
Right into space
On the roof

HJs peaceful
As can be
And there

The world below

Ca n'f bother me
Let me tell you now
When I come home

Feelin' fired and weak
I go up where the air
ls fresh and sweet
I get away from
The hustling crowd

And all that

Raf race noise
Down in the street
On the roof
The only place I know

Where you just have to
Wish to make if so
Lefs go up on the roof
(Instrumental Break)
At night the stars
Put on a show for free
And darling,

You can share it
All with me
I keep o-felling you
Right smack dab
In the middle of town

I found a paradise
Thafs frouble-proof
And if this world
Starts geHing you down

There's room enough
For two
Up on the roof
Up on the roof

Oh, come on be by
Oh, come on honey
Eve ryihing is olrig hi

Up on the roof,
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Written By Carole King
And Gerry Goffin.
