Uptown Girl

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


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




And when she knows what


She wants from her time


And when she wakes up


And makes up her mind




She'll see I'm not so tough


Just because


I'm in love with an uptown girl


You know I've seen her in her uptown world


She's getting tired of her high class toys


And all her presents from her 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 kind of guy 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 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


She's my uptown girl


You know I'm in love


With an uptown girl




My uptown girl


You know I'm in love


With an uptown girl


My uptown girl


You know I'm in love


With an uptown girl


My uptown girl
