Uptown girl
She's been living
In her uptown world
I bet she never
Had a back street guy
I bet her mama
Never told her why
I'm gonna try
For an uptown girl
(Uptown girl)
She's been living
In her white bread world
(White bread world)
As long as anyone
With hot blood (hot blood can)
Can and now she's looking
For a downtown man
(Downtown man)
That's what I am
And when she knows what
She wants from her time
(From her time, yeah)
And when 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 (in)
She'll understand what
Kind of 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
Just because
I'm in love
With an uptown girl
She's been living in
Her white bread world
As long as anyone
With hot blood can
And now she's looking
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
(Uptown girl)
She's my uptown girl
Don't you know I'm in love
With an uptown girl?
(Uptown girl)
My uptown girl
(Uptown girl)
Don't you know I'm in love
With an uptown girl?
(Uptown girl)
She's my uptown girl
Don't you know I'm in love
With an uptown girl?
(Uptown girl)
