Lyrics
Uptown girl
She's been livin' in her uptown world
I bet she never had a backstreet guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I'm gonna try for an uptown girl (uptown girl)
She's been livin' in her white-bread world (white-bread world)
As long as anyone with hot blood can (hot blood can)
And now she's lookin' for a downtown man (downtown man)
That's what I am
And when she knows what (knows what)
She wants from her time (from her time)
And when she wakes up (she wakes up)
And makes up her mind
(She'll) she'll see I'm not so tough
Just because I'm in love with an uptown girl (uptown girl)
You know I've seen her in her uptown world (uptown world)
She's getting tired of her high-class toys (high-class toys)
And all her presents from her uptown boys (uptown boys)
She's got a choice
Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kinda guy I've been (I've been)
And then I'll win
And when she's walking
She's looking so fine
And when she's talking
She'll say that she's mine
(She'll) she'll say I'm not so tough (she's wrong)
Just because I'm in love with an uptown girl
She's been livin' in her white-bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's lookin' for a downtown man
That's what I am
Uptown girl (uptown girl)
She's my uptown girl (uptown girl)
You know I'm in love with an uptown girl (uptown girl)
My uptown girl (uptown girl)
You know I'm in love with an uptown girl (going uptown, uptown girl)
She's my uptown girl (going uptown, uptown girl)
Don't you know I'm in love with an uptown girl? (Going uptown, uptown girl)
(She's in uptown) my uptown girl (going uptown, uptown girl)
Don't you know I'm in love with an uptown girl? (Going uptown, uptown girl)
(She's in uptown) my uptown girl (going uptown, uptown girl)
Don't you know I'm in love with an uptown girl? (Going uptown, uptown girl)
(She's in uptown) my uptown girl (going uptown)
Don't you know...
